Connection
Procedure
You can connect your system to a 10BASE2 Ethernet network
by attaching an Ethernet cable to the AUI Ethernet port on the
system unit, and then attaching a DECXM transceiver to the
cable.
To connect your system to a 10BASE2 (ThinWire) Ethernet
network, complete the steps listed in Table 5–3.
Table 5–3 Steps for Connecting a ThinWire Ethernet Network
Step Action
1 Remove loopback connector.
2 Connect a standard Ethernet cable to the AUI port on the
system unit.
3 Attach the cable to a DECXM transceiver.
4 Connect ThinWire Cables and T-connector to the DECXM
transceiver.
5 Terminate the T-connector (if necessary).
Step 1:
Loopback
Connector
If the Ethernet loopback connector is still connected to your
system, remove it now. Keep the loopback connector in a
safe place. You need it if you use the system in a standalone
configuration or for testing purposes later.
