If you're installing an Ethernet for the first time in your life, a few
|
|
words about the cabling may be in order here. Ethernet is very picky
|
|
about proper cabling. The cable must be terminated on both ends with a
|
|
50-Ohm resistor, and you must not have any branches (i.e. three cables
|
|
connected in a star-shape). If you are using a thin coax cable with
|
|
T-shaped BNC junctions, these junctions must be twisted on the board's
|
|
connector directly; you should not insert a cable segment.
|
|
<P>
|
|
If you connect to a thicknet installation, you have to attach your
|
|
host through a transceiver (sometimes called Ethernet Attachment
|
|
Unit). You can plug the transceiver into the 15-pin AUI port on your
|
|
board directly, but may also use a shielded cable.
