Verify that the fiber connection meets the dB loss specifications
outlined in Appendix C, Network Planning and Configuration.
If you are still unable to establish a link, attempt to make the connection
between the devices with another fiber optic cable. If this is unsuccessful,
contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support.
4.1.6 Connecting a 10BASE2 Segment to an EPIM-C
To connect a 10BASE2 thin coaxial segment to an EPIM-C, perform the
following steps:
1. Set the Internal Termination (TERM) Switch, located to the right of
the port and labeled TERM to one of the following settings:
a.
ON position ( ) to internally terminate the thin coaxial cable
segment at the port. Thin coaxial cable segments may be directly
connected to the port.
b. OFF position ( ) to not internally terminate the thin coaxial cable
segment at the port. Segments may only be connected through
T-connectors which are connected to properly terminated
segments on both ends.
c.
Attach another thin coaxial cable segment or a terminator to the
other female connector on the T-connector.
NOTE
Before attaching a male BNC connector to a female BNC barrel
connector or terminator, look into the end of the connector to
verify that the gold contact pin is present and centered. Any
bent or broken pins may not connect properly and should be
replaced.
NOTE
Failure to terminate each T-connector segment may result in
improper segment operation. Place a terminator on any open
female connection on the T-connector.
