CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION The DELHE-UA has two Fast Ethernet ports in which Fast Ethernet (Port) Interface Modules (FEPIMs) can be installed. Figure 1-1 shows the DELHE-UA. DELHE-UA FEPIM 1 FEPIM 2 fepim_ports Ports 1 and 2 Figure 1-1 DELHE-UA OVERVIEW The DELHE-UA extends the functionality of certain DIGITAL interface modules by providing high-speed uplink capability through Fast Ethernet technology with different types of media.
Full Duplex Switched Ethernet mode. 1.1.4 LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs Cabletron Systems provides a visual diagnostic and monitoring system called LANVIEW. The DELHE-UA LANVIEW LEDs help you quickly identify transmit and receive status. Chapter 3 provides information on the DELHE-UA LEDs and the DELTX-UI LED.
To install the DELHE-UA the following items are required: • Antistatic wrist strap • Phillips screwdriver • Fast Ethernet (Port) Interface Modules (FEPIMs) in the appropriate media Before attempting to use the DELHE-UA you should be familiar with the IEEE 802.3, 802.3 10BASE-T, and 802.3u 100BASE-T Specifications.
Chapter 2: Installation 4. After removing the module from its antistatic bag, visually inspect the device. If you notice any sign of damage, contact a DIGITAL representative immediately. Save the antistatic bag in the event the module must be reshipped. INSTALLING FAST ETHERNET (PORT) INTERFACE MODULES Only qualified personnel should perform installation...
FEPIM Coverplate P I M Figure 2-1 Removing the FEPIM Coverplate Before installing a DELFX-UI or DELF3-UI module into the host module, remove the protective cover on the SC connector. 2. Refer to Figure 2-2. Gently pull the faceplate of the DELHE-UA forward to allow room for the FEPIM to be aligned over the connector.
Chapter 2: Installation Figure 2-2 Installing the FEPIM 4. Press down firmly on the FEPIM until the pins slide all the way into the DELHE-UA connector. Ensure that the FEPIM seats flush on the standoffs. 5. Secure the FEPIM using the screws enclosed in the FEPIM packaging. The screw used to attach the rear of the FEPIM to the standoff is optional and not necessary for proper installation.
INSTALLING THE DELHE-UA Only qualified personnel should install or service this unit. A DELHE-UA can be installed in any DIGITAL device that supports HSIMs (High Speed Interface Module) technology (e.g., DLE52-MA, DLE28-MA). Refer to the Release Notes for the version of firmware running on the DIGITAL host platform to ensure that the DELHE-UA is supported.
Chapter 2: Installation 5. Remove and save the two faceplate mounting screws securing the HSIM coverplate and remove the coverplate. See Figure 2-3. DELHE-UA Coverplate Faceplate Mounting Screws Figure 2-3 Removing the HSIM Coverplate 6. Refer to Figure 2-4 and place the DELHE-UA behind the module faceplate.
Connector Cutaway view of connector DELHE-UA Faceplate Mounting Screws Figure 2-4 Installing the DELHE-UA 7. Align the connector on the DELHE-UA with the connector on the module. Ensure that the DELHE-UA connector aligns with the module connector pins to prevent bending the pins. This can damage both the DELHE-UA and the module.
Chapter 2: Installation 9. Secure the DELHE-UA to the module faceplate using the mounting screws saved in Step 5. 10. Secure the DELHE-UA to the module standoffs using the standoff screws included in the DELHE-UA shipping materials. 11. Reinstall the interface module in the chassis. 12.
2.4.1 Connecting a Fiber Optic Segment to the FEPIM DIGITAL offers fiber optic cables that use SC style connectors which are keyed to ensure proper crossover of the transmit and receive fibers. An odd number of crossovers (preferably one) must be maintained between like devices so that the transmit port of one device is connected to the receive port of the other device and vice versa.
Chapter 2: Installation 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, blow the surfaces clean with a canned duster.

Chapter 2: Installation NOTE: RX+/RX– and TX+/TX– must share a common color pair. Figure 2-6 Twisted Pair Cabling Connect a DELTX-UI to a twisted pair segment as follows: 1. Ensure that the device connected to the other end of the segment is powered ON.

b. Verify that the RJ45 connector on the twisted pair segment has the proper pinouts. c. Check the cable for continuity. d. Make sure that the twisted pair connection meets cable specifications outlined in Appendix B. e. Confirm that the crossover switch is in the correct position. If a link is not established, refer to Chapter 3, LANVIEW LEDs, for information before contacting a DIGITAL representative.
This chapter describes how to use the LANVIEW LEDs to monitor the DELHE-UA status and diagnose DELHE-UA problems. DELHE-UA LEDs Refer to Figure 3-1 for the location of the DELHE-UA LEDs and Table 3-1 for a description of the LED indications. Transmit (TX) Receive (RX) LEDs for FEPIM 1...
