158 Connecting to a TriStation PC
Trident Planning and Installation Guide
▼ To connect a TriStation PC to an MP port using an Ethernet hub:
1
Attach at least one 10BaseT straight-through cable from an RJ-45 connector on
the MP Baseplate to the hub, as shown in the figure below.
Using more than one cable provides redundancy for your TriStation connection.
If you use only one cable during live operation, you have to unplug it and move
it to another RJ-45 connector if the original connection fails.
2 Attach the network adapter card in the TriStation PC to the hub using another
10BaseT straight-through cable.
