Connecting a Twisted Pair Segment to an EPIM-T

Before connecting a segment to the EPIM-T, check each end of the
segment to determine wire cross-over. If the wires do not cross over, use
the switch on the EPIM-T to internally cross over the RJ45 port. Refer to
Figure 3-10 to properly set the EPIM-T cross-over switch.

Figure 3-10. EPIM-T Cross-over Switch

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 3-10.)

To establish link, you must have an odd number of cross-overs
(preferably one) between 10BASE-T devices of the same type
(i.e., from repeater to repeater or transceiver to transceiver).
