2.3.4 Connecting the 3E05-04 Ethernet Switch Module
You can connect each of the four AUI connectors on the 3E05-04 to an
Ethernet network.
To connect the 3E05-04 module to a thick coax network, you must use an
AUI drop cable and a tap-type transceiver:
1. Attach a tap-type transceiver to the thick coax cable. Refer to the
transceiver manufacturer’s manual for installation instructions.
2. Connect one end of the AUI drop to an AUI port on the 3E05-04 and
the other end to the tap-type transceiver.
a. Slide the hold-down clip on the female DB15 connector on the
module to the open position.
b. Attach the male DB15 connector on the drop cable, and then slide
the clip back to the closed position.
To connect the 3E05-04 to an alternate media network, you must use a
transceiver connected to the module’s AUI port. There are many types of
Ethernet transceivers available; the transceiver must be matched to the
Ethernet cable type. Refer to Appendix B for cable specifications.
