3.4 CONNECTING THE RMIM/EPIM TO THE NETWORK

This section describes the types of connections for each RMIM and EPIM. Refer
to the appropriate section for instructions that apply to your RMIM/EPIM.
3.4.1

Attaching Thin-Net Segments to the CXRMIM

The CXRMIM has 12 BNC connectors to accommodate 12 10BASE-2 or
10BASE-5 coaxial segments. Connect the thin-net segment to the CXRMIM as
follows:
1. Attach the thin-net segment to each of the CXRMIM BNC ports as shown in
Figure 3-5. Line up the slots with the pins, push the connector in, and turn
clockwise to lock on.
2. Check that the device at the other end of the segment has power.
3. Check the Port OK (POK) LED for each port to ensure that the port is not
segmented.
You can connect a thick coaxial segment to the CXRMIM by using
a thick to thin barrel connector. However, do not extend the thick
NOTE
coaxial segment with a thin coaxial segment.
If communication cannot be established, contact Cabletron Systems Technical
Support.
