Connecting an AUI Cable to an EPIM-A
Caution: Ensure that the external transceiver to which the EPIM-A
connects does not have the Signal Quality Error (SQE or “heartbeat”) test
function enabled. The EPIM does not operate if the transceiver has the
SQE test function enabled. Refer to the applicable transceiver manual for
additional information.
To connect an EPIM-A to an external network segment:
1. Check that the PWR LED on the EPIM-A is ON. If the PWR LED is
OFF, contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support.
2. Attach an external transceiver to the network segment intended for
AUI port connection. For additional information, refer to the
applicable transceiver manual.
3. Attach an AUI cable, no longer than 50 meters in length, to the external
transceiver.
4. Connect the AUI cable to the AUI port located on the EPIM-A. (See
Figure 3-11.)
