Connecting Feature or Twinaxial Cables

__ 6. Connect the twinaxial cable to the twinaxial connector on the cable.

The workstations (displays or printers) each have 2 sockets for cable connections. The workstations

connect in a series, to the twinaxial ports attachment connected to the back of the system unit.

v You can have as many as 7 addresses for a series of twinaxial displays on one port.

v The last workstation in each series must have a terminating plug. Most workstations have this

already built-in; however, some older models require an external terminating plug. See the

documentation for the workstation to determine if the external terminating plug is required.

An address is given to each workstation connected to the system. Each workstation (up to 7)

that is attached to a port must have a unique address (0-6). It is not necessary to assign the

addresses in sequential order. Follow the addressing instructions in the setup guide for each

workstation.
