Ethernet Installation Guide

This document, Volume 1 of the Ethernet Installation Guide (EK-ETHV1-IN-003), provides detailed instructions for site survey and configuration planning of Ethernet local area networks. It covers:

• System Overview: Defines Ethernet specifications, topology (branching bus), and components.
• Site Survey: Outlines procedures for gathering facility information, determining physical cable pathways, identifying necessary personnel (HVAC, electricians), and establishing a network earth reference (grounding) system.
• Configuration Planning: Details how to plan coaxial cable paths, target transceiver drop cable lengths, select appropriate cable types (PVC vs. FEP based on NEC codes), and configure repeaters and DELNI interconnects.
• Support Material: Includes appendices with physical component descriptions, sample floor plans, network logs, and blank survey/order worksheets.
