CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
TPXMIM Installation Guide
Page 31
To connect an EPIM-T to a Twisted Pair Segment:
1. Connect the twisted pair segment to the module by inserting the RJ45
connector on the twisted pair segment into the RJ45 port on the
module. (See Figure 3-7.)
2. Check that the LNK LED for the port is ON. If the LED is not ON,
perform each of the following steps until it is:
a.
Check that the 10BASE-T device at the other end of the twisted
pair segment is powered.
b. Verify that the RJ45 connectors on the twisted pair segment have
the proper pinouts. (See Figure 3-7.)
c. Check the cable for continuity.
d. Check that the twisted pair connection meets dB loss and cable
specifications outlined in 10BASE-T Twisted Pair Network
Requirements (Chapter 2).
