Connecting the Network
This section describes how to connect the NPort Server to your network. There are
two ways to connect the NPort Server to an Ethernet Network. Be sure to connect to
network before power on so the network type can be detected correctly.
q Through 10Base2 (BNC) port
q Through 10BaseT (UTP) port
To decide which Ethernet connection to make, you need to know what type of your
network is being used at your site. Do not make both Ethernet connections. You may
choose from any of the above two connections. If you do not have an existing
network, you may select 10Base2 connection, which can save you from purchasing a
HUB.
10Base2 Connection
You must supply a coaxial cable with two T-connectors, one for your Ethernet card
and one for NPort Server.
