Connecting to the Network
You must connect the adapter to the network before installing
the drivers.
This section describes how to connect different types of
network cables to the 3C592 EISA adapters. Table 2-1 lists the
types of network cable connectors that are found on 3C592
EISA adapters.
Connecting to the On-board Transceiver
Each 3C592 EISA adapter is equipped with an on-board
transceiver to allow easy connection to the network.
Connecting to Thin Ethernet Cable
The 3C592-COMBO adapter is factory-set to use the on-board
transceiver as the default with thin Ethernet cable.
