CHAPTER 3
CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
This chapter outlines the procedure for connecting the BRIM-E6 to a
network.
3.1 CONNECTING THE BRIM TO THE NETWORK
The procedure for connecting network segments to the BRIM-E6 depends
on which EPIM you install. Refer to the following list and perform the
procedure described in the subsections that apply to your configuration:
• EPIM-T 3.1.1
• EPIM-F1, F2, F3 3.1.2
• EPIM-C 3.1.3
• EPIM-A 3.1.4
• EPIM-X 3.1.5
Prior to connecting the network cabling check the connectors for the
proper pinouts as shown in Appendix A.
3.1.1 Connecting a UTP Segment to an EPIM-T
Before connecting a segment to the EPIM-T, check each end of the
segment to determine if the wires have been crossed-over for the proper
connection. If the wires do not cross over, use the switch on the EPIM-T
to internally cross over the RJ45 port. Refer to Figure 3-1 to properly set
the EPIM-T cross-over switch.
