22 Ethernet Interface Processor (EIP) Installation and Conﬁguration

Installation

Step 7 If you are using cables with slide-type locks, proceed to the next step. If you are using

cables with screw-type locks, follow the instructions in the section “Replacing Connector

Locks” on page 34, before proceeding. When the slide locks are replaced, proceed to the

following step.

Step 8 While referring to Figure 3, which shows a typical Ethernet network connection, connect

each EIP port to your Ethernet network as follows:

• If using unshielded twisted pair (UTP), attach the UTP network segment cable directly

to the port on the network side of the transceiver. Connect the 10BaseT transceiver

directly to the EIP port, or use a transceiver cable to connect them.

• For 15-pin Ethernet connectors, attach an Ethernet transceiver cable or AUI an EIP port

and a transceiver or MAU; or, if you are using a transceiver that does not require a cable,

connect the transceiver directly to the EIP connector.

Make sure the connecting cable, if any, is an IEEE 802.3 cable if connecting to an IEEE

802.3 transceiver, or an Ethernet compatible cable if connecting to an Ethernet Version 1

or 2 transceiver.

The EIP automatically supports both Ethernet Version 1 and Version 2. It detects the type of interface

when you connect the cable; there is no conﬁguration required.

Proceed to the next section to check the installation.

Checking the Installation

After you install the EIP, verify the installation by observing the LED states and the console display.

When the system has reinitialized all interfaces, the enabled LED on the EIP and on all interface

processors should go on. The console screen will also display a message as the system discovers

each interface during its reinitialization.

When you remove and replace interface processors, the system provides status messages on the

console screen. The messages are for information only. The following sample display shows the

events logged by the system as an EIP was removed from slot 1; the system then reinitialized the

remaining interface processors and marked as down the Ethernet interfaces on the EIP that was

removed from slot 2. When a new EIP was reinserted, the system automatically brought up the

interfaces that were up when the EIP was removed.
