5.4.2 To Connect the Workstation to the ThinWire Network
Your workstation may be either within a ThinWire cable segment or at the end
of a segment. You connect your workstation differently depending on where it
is.
• If your workstation is to be connected
at the end
of a ThinWire segment,
attach a terminator to one end of the T-connector on the adapter.
• If your workstation is to be connected
within
a ThinWire segment, leave
both ends of the T-connector free for attaching your in-house network
cables
