Xante Accel-a-Writer 8200 Manual page 29

A UTP cable looks like ordinary telephone wire. Each end has an
RJ-45 plug which looks like a slightly-larger version of the standard
telephone plug (fig. 2.22). The UTP cable should be a maximum of
328 ft. (100 m) in length. No cable terminators are necessary.
To connect your printer via the Ethernet port using the UTP method,
use the following procedure.
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Plug the transceiver's Apple AUI connector (fig. 2.22) into the
Ethernet port on the printer.
3. Plug one end of the UTP cable into the RJ-45 socket on the
transceiver, and plug the other end into an RJ-45 socket on the
network's hub.
4. Turn on the printer.
Now that your Macintosh and printer are connected, you may need to
set the zone name. For details, skip to "Setting the EtherTalk Zone
Name" later in this chapter.
Thin Coaxial Cable (10Base2) Connection
This configuration uses coaxial cable. Thinnet networks connect in a
daisy-chain configuration with each of the two ends terminated with
either a 50-Ohm terminating resistor or a self-terminating transceiver
box. The maximum cable length for a network segment is 607 ft.
(185 m). However, devices such as repeaters, routers, and gateways
may be inserted to increase the overall length of the network or to
connect to other networks.
