Advanced Function Printers: Attachment Configuration Handbook, S544-3977.
The printer offers one of three Ethernet Attachment types as an optional feature:
10Base-T (Twisted Pair)
The printer can attach to standard Twisted Pair (10BaseT) cable. The feature
attachment includes the type 10BaseT transceiver and the transceiver cable used
to connect the transceiver to the printer. RJ45 unshielded twisted pair cable (which
must meet IEEE 802.3 requirements) is required to attach the 10BaseT transceiver
to the Ethernet Twisted Pair Network. A wrap plug is included with the feature for
diagnostic purposes.
Connection can be either directly to a RISC System/6000, or to a 8250 or 8260
Twisted Pair Hub which connects to a RISC System/6000 or a PS/2.
10Base2 (Thin Coaxial)
The printer can attach to standard Thin type 10Base2 Ethernet coaxial cable. The
attachment includes the type 10Base2 transceiver and the transceiver cable used
to connect the transceiver to the printer. The transceiver attaches to standard Thin
Ethernet Network. A wrap plug is included with the feature for diagnostic purposes.
Connection is made directly to a RISC System/6000, PS/2, or AS/400.
10Base5 (Thick Coaxial)
(3160-001)
The 3160-001 can be attached to standard Thick type 10Base5 Ethernet coaxial
cable. A type 10Base5 cable is required to connect the D-connector on the printer
to the 10Base5 network. A wrap plug is included with the feature for diagnostic
purposes.
Connection is made directly to a RISC System/6000, PS/2, or AS/400.
