Transceiver/Aui Requirements For The Tprmim-36 - Cabletron Systems CXRMIM Installation Manual

Chapter 2: INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS/SPECIFICATIONS

2.1.5 Transceiver/AUI Requirements for the TPRMIM-36

To connect external network segments to the EPIM-A, EPIM-X, or the AUI port
on the TPRMIM-36, you need an AUI cable. The TPRMIM-36 and EPIM-A
require a transceiver to connect to the segment. The EPIM-X has built-in dual
transceivers and can be connected directly to the segment. The EPIM-X is used
primarily for connecting cascading devices.
When connecting an external network segment to a TPRMIM-36, EPIM-A, or
EPIM-X, your network must meet the following requirements:
Transceiver/Ethernet Device (EPIM-A/TPRMIM-36)
The transceiver or Ethernet Device to which the EPIM-A or TPRMIM-36 will be
connected must meet IEEE 802.3 standards, and/or Ethernet Version 1.0 or
Version 2.0 requirements.
AUI Cable
The AUI cable connecting the module to a device must be IEEE 802.3 type cable.
Length
The AUI Cable must not exceed 50 meters in length. If 28 AWG thin office drop
AUI cable is used, then the maximum cable length is limited to 50 feet (15.24
meters).
Grounding
The connector shell of the EPIM-A and the EPIM-X are connected to earth
ground.
