Chapter 2 Installing the Remote Annex 4000

2-2

Connecting the Remote Annex to a LAN requires the following
equipment:

❑

The appropriate network cable (e.g., Ethernet transceiver
cable) for connecting to a LAN or an Ethernet loopback
connector.

❑

The console port cable (supplied with software) and a
console terminal.

❑

A PC on the network (Novell boot).

Connecting devices to the Remote Annex 4000 requires:

❑

Remote Annex 4000 fan-out cables for asynchronous
communications.

❑

One parallel printer cable with a 25-pin female connector.

Connecting a LAN Using Ethernet

The Remote Annex 4000 supports three types of Ethernet connections:
Thin Ethernet, Thick Ethernet, or Twisted Pair (see Figure 2-1).
