5.1.3 Connecting to an EPIM-100FX or EPIM-100FMB
The EPIM-100FX and EPIM-100FMB have an SC style network port
(see Figure 5-3). Cabletron Systems supplies fiber optic cables using SC
connectors that are keyed to ensure proper crossover of the transmit and
receive fibers.
Use the following steps to connect a fiber segment to the SEHI:
1. Remove the protective plastic covers from the fiber optic ports on the
module port and from the ends of the connectors.
2. Insert one end of the SC connector into the EPIM-100FX or
EPIM-100FMB on the SEHI. See Figure 5-3.
Figure 5-3 EPIM-100FX or EPIM-100FMB Port
NOTE
An odd number of crossovers (preferably one) must be
maintained between devices so that the transmit port of one
device is connected to the receive port of the other device and
vice versa.
!
CAUTION
Do not touch the ends of the fiber optic strands, and do not let
the ends come in contact with dust, dirt, or other contaminants.
Contamination of the ends causes problems in data
transmissions. If the ends become contaminated, clean them
with alcohol using a soft, clean, lint free cloth.
