Connecting to a 10BASE2 (ThinWire) Ethernet Network

Connecting to a 10BASE2 (ThinWire) Ethernet Network
You can connect your system to a 10BASE2 Ethernet network
Connection
by attaching an Ethernet cable to the AUI Ethernet port on the
Procedure
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.

Step 1: If the Ethernet loopback connector is still connected to your
Loopback system, remove it now. Keep the loopback connector in a
safe place. You need it if you use the system in a standalone
Connector
configuration or for testing purposes later.

Action
Remove loopback connector.
Connect a standard Ethernet cable to the AUI port on the
system unit.
Attach the cable to a DECXM transceiver.
Connect ThinWire Cables and T-connector to the DECXM
transceiver.
Terminate the T-connector (if necessary).
