When you finish connecting your system to the Thin\Wre segment,
visit each of the VAXstation 3100 Model 38 installations.
• Physically connect each Model 38 system to the ThinWire
Ethernet cable in the same way you connected your Model 48.
• Collect the Ethernet hardware address for each of the Model
48 systems.
5.1.5 Connecting to a DECconnect Faceplate
If your ofBce has been wired with Digital DECconnect products,
you connect your VAXstation 3100 to the DECconnect faceplate
in your office.
DECconnect cabling components support network configurations
ranging from simple work groups to multimedia local area
networks (LANs). No matter how large or small your network, the
most visible DECconnect component in your office is the faceplate.
A faceplate is a wall receptacle that provides a single network
connection for your VAXstation 3100 system.
• A faceplate contains a single ThinWire BNC connector.
Connect one VAXstation 3100 system to the BNC connector.
Other systems can then be daisy-chained to the first system to
form a daisy-chained work group. See Figure 5-5.
• Optionally, a faceplate may contain a special ThinWire
Ethernet daisy-chain connector that permits behind-the-wall
daisy-chaining of multiple faceplates to a single segment of
ThinA^re cable.
