INTRODUCTION
You can stack together up to five SEH hubs using Cabletron Systems’
external HubSTACK Interconnect cables. If you want to add
management to the stack, Cabletron Systems offers the MicroMMAC
and the SEHI intelligent hubs. You can stack up to four SEHs with
one intelligent hub. Stackable configurations let you maintain only
one IEEE repeater hop while providing up to 130 Ethernet ports.
The SEH-22/24 and SEH-32/34 are functionally identical with the

1.4SEH FEATURES
Repeater Functionality
The SEH fully conforms to the IEEE 802.3 Repeater, AUI, and
10BASE-T specifications, and provides the flexibility to connect
networks using IEEE 802.3, Ethernet Version 1 or Version 2
equipment. The SEH transmits re-timed data packets, regenerates the
preamble, extends fragments, and arbitrates collisions.
The SEH automatically partitions problem segments, and reconnects
repaired segments to the network. This feature minimizes the impact
on network operation by isolating the problem segment. Only devices
on the problem segment are affected. When the problem is solved, the
SEH automatically reconnects the isolated segment to the network.
Polarity Detection and Correction
Each twisted pair port on the SEH incorporates a Polarity Detection
and Correction feature that allows the SEH to pass data regardless of
the polarity of the twisted pair segment’s receive link. We do not
recommend operating in this condition. If you discover this condition,
remove the segment from the network and wire it correctly. This
reduces the potential for problems if equipment changes are made.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS/SPECIFICATIONS
CHAPTER 2
INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS/SPECIFICATIONS
This chapter describes network guidelines, power requirements, and
operating specifications for the SEH. Be sure to read this chapter
before you install the SEH. Your network must meet the requirements
and conditions specified in this chapter to obtain satisfactory
performance from this equipment. Failure to follow these guidelines
could result in poor network performance.
2.1CABLE SPECIFICATIONS
The SEH network ports support both Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) or
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling. The Ethernet Port Interface
Modules (EPIMs) let you expand your network using UTP, STP,
Multimode Fiber Optic, Single Mode Fiber Optic, or Thin Coaxial
cabling. The rear panel Interconnect Bus Ports support Cabletron
Systems’ HubSTACK Interconnect cables for stackable applications.
Take care in planning and preparing the cabling and connections for
your network. The quality of the connections and the length of cables
are critical factors in determining the reliability of your network. The
following sections describe specifications for each media type.
2.1.1HubSTACK Interconnect Cable Requirements
You connect units in the stack with HubSTACK Interconnect cables.
Refer to Chapter 1 for cable part numbers. The cables attach to the
SEH’s rear panel bus ports.
The rear panel of the SEH has an SEH Interconnect Bus Out Port
(male connector) and an SEH Interconnect Bus In Port (female
connector). The bus supports five stackable devices.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS/SPECIFICATIONS
2.1.2UTP and STP Cable Specifications for the Network Ports
and EPIM-T Module
The device at the other end of the twisted pair segment must meet
IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T specifications. When you connect a 10BASE-T
Twisted Pair Segment to the SEH’s 10BASE-T Twisted Pair Network
Ports and EPIM-T module, your network must meet the following
requirements:
Length
The IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard requires that 10BASE-T devices
transmit over a
twisted pair wire. However, cable quality largely determines
maximum link length. If you use high quality, low attenuation cable,
you can achieve link lengths of up to 200 meters. Cable delay limits
maximum link length to 200 meters, regardless of the cable type.
Insertion Loss
The maximum insertion loss allowed for a 10BASE-T link is 11.5 dB
at all frequencies between 5.0 and 10 MHz. This includes the
attenuation of the cables, connectors, patch panels, and reflection
losses due to impedance mismatches in the link segment.
100
meter (328 foot) link using 22-24 A WG unshielded
Impedance
Cabletron Systems 10BASE-T Twisted Pair products will work on
twisted pair cable with 75 to 165 ohms impedance. Unshielded twisted
pair cables typically have an impedance of between 85 to 110 ohms.
Shielded twisted pair cables, such as IBM Type 1 cable, can also be
used. You should remember that the impedance of IBM Type 1 cable is
typically 150 ohms. This increases the signal reflection caused by the
cable, but since the cable is shielded, this signal reflection has little
effect on the received signal’s quality due to the lack of crosstalk
between the shielded cable pairs.
Jitter
Intersymbol interference and reflections can cause jitter in the bit cell
timing, resulting in data errors. A 10BASE-T link must not generate
more than 5.0 nsec. of jitter. If your cable meets the impedance
requirements for a 10BASE-T link, jitter should not be a concern.
Page 2-2
Page 15
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS/SPECIFICATIONS
Delay
The maximum propagation delay of a 10BASE-T link segment must
not exceed 1000 nsec. This 1000 nsec. maximum delay limits the
maximum link segment length to no greater than 200 meters.
Crosstalk
Crosstalk is caused by signal coupling between the different cable
pairs contained within a multi-pair cable bundle. 10BASE-T
transceivers are designed so that the user does not need to be
concerned about cable crosstalk, provided the cable meets all other
requirements.
Noise
Noise can be caused by either crosstalk or externally induced
impulses. Impulse noise ma y cause data errors if the impulses occur at
very specific times during data transmission. Generally, the user need
not be concerned about noise. If noise-related data errors are
suspected, it may be necessary to either reroute the cable or eliminate
the source of the impulse noise.
Temperature
Multi-pair PVC 24 AWG telephone cables typically have an
attenuation of approximately 8 to 10 dB/100m at 20°C (78°F). The
attenuation of PVC insulated cable varies significantly with
temperature. At temperatures greater than 40°C (104°F), we strongly
recommend that you use plenum-rated cables to ensure that cable
attenuation remains within specification.

Attenuation
You must test the fiber optic cable with a fiber optic attenuation test
set adjusted for an 850 nm wavelength. This test verifies that the
signal loss in a cable is within an acceptable level. Table 2-1 shows the
attenuation for each Multimode cable type.
optic cable length is 2 km
(2187.2 yards). However,
IEEE 802.3 specifications
allow for a maximum of 1 km
(1093.6 yards).
Fiber Optic Budget and Propagation Delay
When determining the maximum fiber optic cable length, the fiber
optic budget delay and total network propagation should be calculated
and taken into consideration before fiber optic cable runs are
incorporated in any network design.
Fiber optic budget is the combination of the optical loss due to the
fiber optic cable, in-line splices, and fiber optic connectors.
Propagation delay is the amount of time it takes data to travel from
the sending device to the receiving device. Total propagation delay
allowed for the entire network is 25.6 µsec, if the total propagation
delay between any two nodes on the network exceeds 25.6 µsec, then
bridges should be used.

optic cable length is
5 km (3.1 miles) with bridges
at each segment end. However, IEEE 802.3 FOIRL specifications specify a maximum of
1 km (1093.6 yards).
Attenuation
You must test the fiber optic cable with a fiber optic attenuation test
set adjusted for an 1300 nm wavelength. This test verifies that the
signal loss in a cable is 10.0 dB or less for any given single mode fiber
optic link.
Fiber Optic Budget and Propagation Delay
Fiber optic budget is the combination of the optical loss due to the
fiber optic cable, in-line splices, and fiber optic connectors. When
determining the maximum fiber optic cable length, the fiber optic
budget (total loss of 10.0 dB or less between stations) and total
network propagation delay should be calculated and considered before
fiber optic cable runs are incorporated in any network design.
Propagation delay is the amount of time it takes data to travel from
the sending device to the receiving device. Total propagation delay
allowed for the entire network is 25.6 µsec, if the total propagation
delay between any two nodes on the network exceeds 25.6 µsec, then
bridges should be used.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS/SPECIFICATIONS
2.1.5Thin-net Network Requirements for the EPIM-C Module
When you connect a thin-net segment to the SEH (via an EPIM-C),
your network must meet the following requirements:
Cable Type
50 ohm RG-58A/U type coaxial cable must be used when making up a
thin-net cable segment.
Length
The thin-net segment must be no longer than 185 meters.
Terminators
A 50 ohm terminator must be connected to the far end of each
thin-net segment.
Connectors
A maximum of 29 tee-connectors may be used throughout the length
of cable segment for host connections. If an excessive number of barrel
connectors are used within the cable segment, such as finished wall
plates with BNC feed-throughs, then a reduced number of host
connections may be required. For special network design, contact
Cabletron Systems Technical Support.
Grounding
For safety, ground only one end of a thin-net segment. Do NOT
connect EPIM BNC ports to earth ground.
Warning: Connecting a thin-net segment to earth ground at more than
one point could produce dangerous ground currents.

Page 19
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS/SPECIFICATIONS
2.1.6AUI Cable Requirements for the EPIM-A and EPIM-X
Modules
When you connect an external network segment to the SEH (via an
EPIM-A or EPIM-X), the AUI cable must meet the following
requirements:
AUI Cable
The AUI cable connecting the module to a device must be IEEE 802.3
type cable.
Length
The AUI Cable must not exceed 50 meters in length. If 28 AWG thin
office drop AUI cable is used, then the maximum cable length is
limited to 50 feet (15.24 meters).
Grounding
The connector shell of the EPIM-A and the EPIM-X are connected to
ground.
2.2NETWORK PORT SPECIFICATIONS

When connecting a fiber optic link segment to an EPIM-F1, F2, or F3
keep the following in mind:
•If you are connecting a fiber optic link segment with SMA 906
connectors to an EPIM-F1 with SMA ports, ensure that half
alignment sleeves are in place on each connector. A full
alignment sleeve will damage the receive port. SMA 905
connectors do not need alignment sleeves.
•If you are connecting a fiber optic link segment with ST
connectors to an EPIM-F2 /F3 with ST ports, keep in mind that
ST connectors attach to ST ports much like BNC connectors
attach to BNC ports. Insert the connector into the port with the
alignment key on the connector inserted into the alignment slot
on the port. The connector is then turned to lock it down.
Page 4-5
Page 44
CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
•The physical communication link consists of two strands of
fiber optic cabling: the Transmit (TX) and the Receive (RX). The
Transmit strand from the applicable port on the module will be
connected to the Receive port of a fiber optic Ethernet device at
the other end of the segment. F or example, TX of the applicable
port on the module will go to RX of the other fiber optic device.
The Receive strand of the applicable port on the module will be
connected to the Transmit port of the fiber optic Ethernet
device. For example, RX of the applicable port on the module
will go to TX of the other fiber optic device.
We recommend that you label the fiber optic cable to indicate
which fiber is Receive and which is Transmit. When you buy
fiber optic cable from Cabletron Systems, it is labeled so that:
at one end of the cable, one fiber is labeled 1, and the other fiber
is labeled 2. This pattern is repeated at the other end of the
cable. If you did not purchase your cable from Cabletron
Systems, be sure you label your cable as described above.
Caution: Do not touch the ends of the fiber optic strands, and
do not let the ends come in contact with dust, dirt, or other
contaminants. Contamination of the ends can cause problems in
data transmissions. If the ends become contaminated, clean
them with alcohol using a soft, clean, lint free cloth.
To connect a fiber optic link segment to an EPIM-F1, EPIM-F2, or
EPIM-F3:
1.Remove the protective plastic covers from the fiber optic ports on
the applicable port on the module and from the ends of the
connectors on each fiber strand.
2.Attach the fiber labeled 1 to the applicable receive port, labeled RX,
on the module. See Figure 4-4.

•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 as shown in
Figure 4-5.
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

1.Check that the LNK LED, if applicable, for the port is on. If the
LED is not on:
a.Check that the 10BASE-T device at the other end of the twisted
pair segment is powered up.
b.Verify that the connector on the twisted pair segment has the
proper pinouts. Refer to Chapter 2 for the pin assignments for
twisted pair connectors.
For EPIM-F1/EPIM-F2/EPIM-F3 check that the TX and RX
fibers are properly connected.
c.Check the cable for continuity. A variety of tools are available
for this test, depending on the media you are using.
d.Check that the twisted pair segments meet cable specifications
for dB loss described in Chapter 2.

TROUBLESHOOTING
2.If the remote station is ready and the LNK LED is on, but no data
passes through the port, one of two conditions may exist:
•Network management has disabled the port.
•The port is segmented either because the collision detector was
on for more than 110 µsec. or the SEH detected more than 32
consecutive collisions on the attached segment. The affected
port remains segmented until a good packet is transmitted/
received without collisions.
If the LNK LED is still not on, contact Cabletron Systems Technical
Support.
5.2USING LANVIEW
The SEH incorporates the Cabletron Systems LANVIEW Status
Monitoring and Diagnostics System. LANVIEW LEDs can help
diagnose problems such as a power failure or a cable fault. The SEH
includes the following LANVIEW LEDs:
•PWR, for power status
•MGMT, for management status
•RCV (Receive), LNK (Link), and CLN (Collision) for Ethernet
status.
Figure 5-1 provides a quick reference chart of LED locations and
definitions. This chapter also includes a detailed description of each
LED.

PWR (Green)
When this LED is on it indicates that the SEH is receiving power. If
this LED is off, it indicates a loss of input power. Check the input
power source (circuit breaker, fuse, etc.). If the proper source power is
present, the problem could be with the SEH.
MGMT (Green Flashing)
This LED flashes when an intelligent hub manages the SEH. If this
LED does not flash, an intelligent hub is not managing the SEH. If
you connect an intelligent hub to the SEH and the LED does not flash,
inspect the HubSTACK Interconnect cables for proper connections.

TROUBLESHOOTING
CLN (Red)
This LED indicates that a collision has occurred on one of the ports.
RCV (Yellow Flashing)
When this LED flashes, it indicates that the SEH is receiving data
packets from the associated port segment. Each SEH port has a
corresponding RCV LED:
•Network Ports: RCV LEDs 1-24
•EPIM-1: RCV LED E1
•EPIM-2: RCV LED E2
LNK (Green)
When a LNK LED is on, it indicates an established link between the
associated twisted pair segment and the 10BASE-T device at the other
end of the segment. LNK LEDs will remain on as long as a link is
maintained. Each SEH Network Port (ports 1-24) has a corresponding
LNK LED.
