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

1. Set the Internal Termination Switch (see Figure 3-14), located to the 

right of the port and labeled TERM to:

•

The on position (•) if the thin-net segment connected directly to 
the port will be internally terminated at the port.

•

The off position (o) if the thin-net segment will not be terminated 
at the port or externally terminated.

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

thin-net segment directly to the BNC port.

3. If the Internal Termination switch is in the Off position:

a.

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

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

tee-connector.

Note: You must terminate each segment attached to the tee-connector. If 
you do not attach a segment to one of the female connections on the 
tee-connector, then a terminator must be placed on that connection.

c.

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