Connecting the System to a Network
Connecting the System to a Network
Summary
This section describes how to connect the system to a network. It
also describes the information you need to order network option
boards from your Digital sales representative.
Network Option
Board Support
The system must contain an appropriate network option board
before you can connect it to a network. For example, if you
want to connect the system to a ThinWire Ethernet network, the
network option board installed in the system unit must provide
a ThinWire Ethernet port. Other network types may require
different network option boards.
