CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Cabletron Systems’ ST-500 Ethernet/IEEE 802.3
Transceiver with LANVIEW Installation Guide. This guide provides in-
stallers and service technicians with information required to install and,
if necessary, diagnose network problems.
Prior to installing and operating the ST-500 transceiver, read through
this manual completely to become familiar with its content and to gain an
understanding of the ST-500 features. A general working knowledge of
Ethernet/802.3 networks is helpful when installing the transceiver. Detailed specifications are contained in Appendix A.
1.1 ST-500 Features
Cabletron System’s ST-500 Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 Transceiver with LANVIEW provides a method of connecting to an Ethernet or IEEE 802.3
controller via a host compatible transceiver cable. The ST-500 transceiver is compatible with Ethernet Version 1.0 specifications (September
1980), Ethernet Version 2.0 specifications (November 1983), and IEEE
802.3 standard (1983) for a 10-Mbps Medium Access Unit (MAU).
The ST-500 transceiver consists of two major components; a transceiver
body, and a tap. The type of media used in the network determines the
style of tap to install on the transceiver body (see Figure 1-1).

ST-500 Features
1.1.1 LANVIEW LEDs
The ST-500 transceiver has five LANVIEW LEDs that monitor network
activity (transmit, receive and collision present), power status, and heartbeat (SQE) test status. These LEDs are described in Table 1-1. They
serve as a useful tool to quickly diagnose physical layer problems.
Table 1-1. LANVIEW LEDs
LED DESCRIPTION
PWR Power - On when the transceiver is receiving power
from the attached node.
SQE Signal Quality Error Test - On if the Heartbeat (SQE)
test is enabled.
XMT Transmit - On during the transmission of packets from
the host.
RCV Receive - On to indicate traffic on the network.
CLN Collision Present - On when a collision is detected by
the transceiver.
1.1.2 Heartbeat (SQE) Test
The ST-500 transceiver supports the Heartbeat (SQE) test. An internal
switch is provided to enable or disable the heartbeat (SQE) test. The signal quality error (SQE) feature is used by some hosts to verify collision
signal path.
When the SQE test is enabled, the transceiver sends a 10-MHz burst on
the collision lead after transmissions. The burst must begin between 600
and 1600 ns after the end of the packet and must last for 500 to 1500 ns
(see Figure 1-2). The times are measured at the transceiver connector.
There is no collision test signal when just receiving.

CHAPTER 2:
INSTALLATION
2.3 Installation Site
To install the ST-500 transceiver, a minimum area of 17.8-cm (7-in) high
by 20.3-cm (8-in) wide by 10.2-cm (4-in) deep is recommended to provide enough space for the transceiver, tap, and Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) cable connections.
Ensure that the installation site meets the environmental conditions
specified in Appendix A.
2.4 Setting the SQE (Heartbeat Test ) Switch
If the tap is already installed on the transceiver, remove the two flat-head
screws securing the tap to the transceiver case. Then remove the tap to
gain access to the SQE switch. Refer to Figure 2-1 for the location of the
SQE switch and how to set it to enable (ON) or disable (OFF) the heartbeat test feature.
Note:
The ST-500 transceiver is shipped with the SQE switch ON.
Ensure that the SQE switch is OFF whenever connecting the transceiver
to a repeater AUI. Otherwise, network problems (excess collisions) will
result.

Connecting the Transceiver to the Host
2.6 Connecting the Transceiver to the Host
The ST-500 Transceiver is designed to operate with Ethernet Version
1.0, Version 2.0, and IEEE 802.3 compliant systems. However, each
version requires different wiring for the transceiver cable. Since cable
grounding is accomplished at the host end of the cable, the correct cable
must be used according to the requirements of the host equipment.
1. Plug the female end of the transceiver cable into the 15-pin
connector on the side of the transceiver and slide the connector
lock to secure the connector.
2. Use a tie-wrap to fasten the transceiver cable to the Ethernet
cable (see Figure 2-10). This provides a strain relief for the
transceiver cable connection.
3. Attach the male end of the cable to the 15-pin connector on the
host system.

CHAPTER 3
TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter provides troubleshooting information based on the condition of the LANVIEW LEDs on the transceiver. The troubleshooting information consists of some of the most common potential problems and
solutions. If a problem persists after performing the recommended corrective actions, contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support.
3.1 LANVIEW LEDs
The condition of the LANVIEW LEDs provides valuable troubleshooting
information about how the system is operating. Refer to Chapter 2,
Table 2-1, for the LANVIEW LED conditions that indicate normal operation. If the LANVIEW LEDs do not indicate normal operation, proceed to
the next section, Troubleshooting.
3.2 Troubleshooting
The conditions described in Table 3-1 apply only when a host system is
attached and transmitting data packets. Two Ethernet testers, such as
the Cabletron Systems LAN Specialist network monitoring device, can
be used to exchange data packets and provide more comprehensive
testing.
Observe the LANVIEW LEDs on more than one transceiver to determine
if the problem is with an individual node or if it is common to the network.
When similar indications appear at more than one station, the problem
is most likely a network problem. If the symptoms are observed at only
one station, chances are the problem is with that node.
Note:
SQE enabled and off with SQE disabled. If, after setting the SQE
configuration, the LED does not indicate the proper setting, the problem
is in the transceiver.
The SQE LED is not discussed here, since the SQE LED is on with
