Cable
Ascertain that you have 0.2 inch diameter RG-58A/U 50-ohm coaxial
cable, with BNC connectors at each end, not more than 185 meters (600
feet) in length for the network connection. The stations are connected in a
bus topology. Follow the steps:
1. Connect a BNC T-connector onto the BNC receptacle of the DE-
528CT card.
2. Connect the network cable onto either open end of the BNC
T-
connector
.
3a. If the cable continues on to an additional station or stations, then
connect the continuation cable onto the remaining open end of the
BNC T-connector.
3b. If the network cable does not continue to additional stations (your
computer is at the end of the cable), then connect a 50-ohm terminator
to the remaining open end of the BNC T-connector.
