CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
This chapter outlines the procedure for connecting your SEH to a
network. Ensure that your network meets the guidelines and
requirements outlined in Chapter 2, Installation Requirements/
Specifications, before installing the SEH.
4.1 CONNECTING THE SEH TO THE NETWORK
The procedure for connecting network segments to the SEH varies
depending on the media and ports being connected. Refer to the
following list and perform the procedure described in the subsections
that apply to your SEH:
• Network Ports SEH-22/24 4.1.1
• Network Ports SEH-32/34 4.1.2
• EPIM-T 4.1.3
• EPIM-F1, F2, F3 4.1.4
• EPIM-C 4.1.5
• EPIM-A 4.1.6
• EPIM-X 4.1.7
Prior to connecting the network cabling check the connectors for the
proper pinouts as shown in Chapter 2.
4.1.1 Connecting Network Ports SEH-22 and SEH-24
You attach unshielded twisted pair segments to the RJ45 Network
Ports on the front panel of the SEH. Each twisted pair port on the
SEH incorporates a Polarity Detection and Correction feature. The
Polarity Detection and Correction feature allows the SEH to pass data
regardless of the polarity of the twisted pair segment’s receive link.
Operating in this condition is not recommended and if this condition is
discovered, the segment should be removed from the network and
wired correctly by a technician.
