3.5.6 Connecting an AUI Cable to an EPIM-A
To connect an EPIM-A to an external network segment, via an AUI Cable:
1. Attach an external transceiver to the network segment that will be
connected to the AUI port. Refer to the applicable transceiver manual.
2. Attach an AUI cable, no longer than 50 meters in length, to the
transceiver connected to the network in step 1.
3. Connect the AUI cable to the AUI port located on the EPIM-A. See
Figure 3-15.
4. Lock the AUI connector into place using the slide latch on the
connector.
Figure 3-15 The EPIM-A
CAUTION: Ensure that the external transceiver to which the MRXI will be
connected does not have the signal quality error (SQE or “heartbeat”) test
function enabled. The MRXI will not operate if the transceiver has the
SQE test function enabled, and the network will be unusable. Refer to the
applicable transceiver manual.
5. Check that the PWR LED on the EPIM-A is lit. If the PWR LED is
not lit, contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support.
6. If the PWR LED is lit with the AUI cable disconnected, continue with
the following checks:
a. Check the AUI connections for proper pin-outs. The pin-outs for
the transceiver connection are listed in Chapter 2, Installation
Requirements/Specifications.
b. Check the cable for continuity.
c. Reconnect the AUI cable to the MRXI and the device.
If the LED is still not lit after reconnecting the segment, contact Cabletron
Systems Technical Support.
