CONNECTING THE  IRM TO THE  NETWORK

 

This section provides procedures for connecting the IRM to the network 
via the AUI Ports or the BNC Port.

 

3.4.1

Connecting to the Network Via the AUI Port

 

To connect to the network via either AUI Port:

 

CAUTION

 

: Be sure to disable the SQE test function on the transceiver will 

be connecting to the IRM's AUI Port. Failure to do so will result in 
improper operation of the IRM. Refer to the applicable transceiver 
manual.

 

1. Attach an external transceiver to the segment to which the AUI Port 

will be attached. Refer to the applicable transceiver manual.
