Thinnet cables usually have a female twist-on BNC connector on
each end. A "T" connector is used to tie the external transceiver into
the network (fig. 2.23).
Some external transceiver boxes are self-terminating. This means
that they do not require a termination resistor if they are the last box
on a network. If the box is at one end of a network and not self-
terminating, you must place a terminating resistor in the open socket.
To connect your printer via the Ethernet port using the thin coaxial
cable 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. Connect the transceiver to one end of the coaxial cable. To do
this use one of the following procedures:
a. If the transceiver box has a single male BNC connector,
either plug it into an existing Ethernet drop or use a "T"
connector (fig. 2.24). Follow the directions included
with the transceiver.
Note: Make sure to place a terminator in the open
