3.9.4 Connecting a Thin-Net Segment to an EPIM-C
To connect a thin-net segment to an EPIM-C:
1. Set the Internal Termination Switch (Figure 3-14), located above the
port (when the EPIM has been inserted into the EMM-E6) and
labeled TERM to:
• the ON position ( ) to internally terminate the thin-net segment at
the port.
• the OFF position ( ) if you do not want the thin-net segment to
internally terminate at the port.
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 T-connector to the BNC port on the module.
b. Attach the thin-net segment to one (1) of the female connectors on
the T-connector.
c. Attach another thin-coaxial segment or a terminator to the other
female connector on the T-connector.
Failure to terminate each T-connector segment may result in
improper segment operation. Place a terminator on any open
female connection on the T-connector.
!
CAUTION
Connecting a thin-net segment to earth ground at more than
one point could produce dangerous ground currents.
