3.5.4 Connecting an AUI Segment to an EPIM-X or
EPIM-A
Attach an external transceiver to the network segment intended for AUI
port connection. For additional information, refer to the applicable
transceiver manual.
Attach an AUI cable, no longer than 50 meters in length, to the external
transceiver.
1. Align the DB15 connector of the AUI cable with the AUI port of the
EPIM as shown in Figure 3-9. The port will only connect if it is
properly aligned.
2. Firmly press the AUI connector over the AUI port. If there is a slide
latch present for the AUI connector, slide it over the locking posts on
the DB15 port.

NOTE
Ensure that the external transceiver to which the EPIM-A
connects does not have the signal quality error (SQE or
“heartbeat”) test function enabled. The EPIM does not operate
if the transceiver has the SQE test function enabled. Refer to
the applicable transceiver manual for additional information.
