Connecting the NIC to the Network 31
BNC Port
The BNC port provides a 10 Mbps connection only.
The following table shows the cable requirement and
maximum network cable length for the BNC port.
To connect the BNC port:
1 Connect the BNC connector on the thin Ethernet cable
to the BNC port on the NIC.
2 Connect the other end of the network cable to
another PC or to a 50-ohm terminator.
The next step is to install the network driver.
Go to Chapter 3, “Installing NIC Software in Windows,”
or Chapter 4, “Installing the NetWare Client and
Server Drivers.”
