To connect the analyzer to a network
1. Turn off the analyzer.
2. If your network uses ThinLAN BNC cables, connect one of them to the
ThinLAN connector on the analyzer’s rear panel.
or
If your network uses MAUs, connect one of them to the AUI Port connector on
the analyzer’s rear panel.
3. Turn on the analyzer.
4. Press [

5. Press [
port select
] to display the option corresponding to the connector you used
in step 2: either “ThinLAN (BNC)” or “AUI (MAU).”
The ThinLAN connector only allows you to connect the analyzer to a
ThinLAN network. However, the AUI Port lets you to connect the analyzer
to ThinLan, ThickLAN, or StarLAN 10 networks via the appropriate
off-board MAU. (These networks are Agilent Technologies’s
implementation of IEEE 802.3 types 10BASE2, 10BASE5, and 10BASE-T.)
The analyzer should be connected to a network by only one of its LAN
connectors. Check with your network administrator if you have any other
questions about the LAN connections.
