Chapter 5: Connecting to the Network

To connect a thin coaxial segment to an EPIM-C:

1. Set the Internal Termination Switch, located to the right of the port and 

labeled TERM to one of the following:

•

The On position (

•

) if the thin coaxial segment connected directly 

to the port is internally terminated at the port

•

The Off position (

o

) if the thin coaxial segment is not internally 

terminated at the port or externally terminated

2. If the Internal Termination switch is in the On position, connect the 

3. If the Internal Termination switch is in the Off position, proceed with 

the following steps:

a.

Attach a BNC T-connector to the BNC port on the module. 

b. Attach the thin coaxial segment to one of the female connectors on 

the T-connector.

c.

Attach another thin coax segment or a terminator to the other 
female connector on the T-connector.

Terminate each segment attached to the T-connector. If a 
segment is not attached to one of the female connections on 
the T-connector, place a terminator on that connection.

For safety, ground only one end of a thin coaxial segment. Do 
NOT connect EPIM BNC ports to earth ground. Connecting a 
thin coaxial segment to earth ground at more than one point 
could produce dangerous ground currents.
