6.5 Connecting the Workstation to an Ethernet Network
7. If you are connecting the workstation
within
a network cable segment,
leave both ends of the T-connector free to attach your in-house network
cables.
If you are connecting the workstation at the
end of a network cable
segment, attach a T-connector terminator to the open end of the T-connector
on the adapter.

8. Put an Ethernet loopback connector on any unused Ethernet connectors in
the TURBOchannel option slots (see Figure 6–1).
9. Contact your system manager or, if authorized to do so, follow your in-
house procedures to finish connecting the workstation to the ThinWire
network when the network is not active. Your workstation will not operate
properly with an unterminated ThinWire adapter until it is connected to
the network.
