5.3 Connecting Your System to ThinWire Ethernet Cable
To connect a DECsystem 5100 to Thin Wire Ethernet cable:
Set your system unit on/off switch to the off
(0)
position.
2 Attach Thin Wire cable to one side of the T-connector.
3 If your system is the first or last system in a single Thin Wire segment,
leave the terminator attached to one side of the T-connector.
A segment is a length of cable made up of one or more cable sections
connected with barrel connectors or T-connectors.
4 If your system is not the first or last system and you want to connect
another system to the Thin Wire cable, add another section of cable to the
T-connector. See Figure 5-2.
