Installation and Setup
Linking a Modula to an Epica DG, Epica DGX 16/32, Epica DGX 144, Optima,
Optima SD, or Precis SD
A Modula enclosure can be linked to an enclosure with an Ethernet 10Base-T (RJ-45) port (Epica DG,
Epica DGX 16/32, Epica DGX 144, Optima, Optima SD, or Precis SD) by using a Media Converter.

A Modula linked to enclosure with an RJ-45 Ethernet linking port
To link a Modula to an enclosure with an Ethernet 10 Base-T port:
1.
Fasten T-connectors to the Ethernet (BNC) linking connector on the Modula's CPU and to the BNC
connector on the Media Converter.
2. Fasten 50-ohm termination connectors to the T-connectors on the Modula enclosure and the Media
Converter.
3. Attach an RG-58 coax cable from the open end of the T-connector on the Modula to the open end
of the T-connector on the Media Converter.
4.
Insert the RJ-45 straight-through patch cable into the Media Converter's 10/100 (RJ-45) port.
5. Insert the other end of the RJ-45 straight-through patch cable into the second enclosure's
Ethernet (RJ-45) linking port.
When power is applied, the Comm (Communication Status) indicator at the top of the CPU board
illuminates indicating traffic between enclosures.
