Connecting to the NetworkEMM-E6 Installation Guide3-153.5.3 Connecting a 10BASE-F Segment to an EPIM-F1Each fiber optic link consists of two strands of fiber optic cabling: thetransmit (TX) and the receive (RX). The transmit strand from a moduleport connects to the receive port of a fiber optic Ethernet device at theother end of the segment. The receive strand of the applicable port on themodule connects to the transmit port of the fiber optic Ethernet device.Cabletron Systems recommends labeling fiber optic cables to indicatereceive and transmit ends. Many cables are prelabeled, providingmatching labels or tapes at both ends of each strand of cable.1. Remove the protective plastic covers from the fiber optic ports on theapplicable port on the module, and from the ends of the connectors oneach fiber strand.2. Attach one fiber to the receive port (RX) on the EPIM-F1. Insert theSMA connector into the port. Turn the connector clockwise until theconnector will no longer turn easily. Do not overtighten the connector.NOTEFor proper operation, the EPIM-F1 module to be configured foruse in the EMM-E6 module must be of EPIM board revision 05or greater. Board revision numbers are found following the partnumber printed on the Printed Circuit Board of the EPIM.!CAUT IONWhen connecting a fiber optic link segment with SMA 906connectors to an EPIM-F1 with SMA ports, make sure eachconnector uses half alignment, NOT full alignment, sleeves.A full alignment sleeve damages the receive port. SMA 905connectors do not need alignment sleeves.!CAUT IONDo not touch the ends of the fiber optic strands, and do not letthe ends come in contact with dust, dirt, or other contaminants.Contamination of cable ends causes problems in datatransmissions. If necessary, clean contaminated cable endsusing alcohol and a soft, clean, lint-free cloth.
