1. Depending on the number of BNC attachments you want to create,
install the appropriate number of DES-108C modules into the
Switch. Note that each module provides two switched BNC ports.
For information on the installation procedure, see the Port Module

2. Obtain a thin coaxial cable. Ensure that the total cable length does
not exceed 185 meters.
3. Select a BNC port to connect the node.
