Installation

Plug the thick net (10Base5) or twisted pair (10BaseT) network

cable into the appropriate socket on the MP/16. The MP/16

automatically detects which type of network cable you are using

when you power it on.

Twisted Pair
(10BaseT)

Thicknet
(10Base5)

Figure 2-7. Cabling to a LAN

NOTE:

If there is no Ethernet cable attached to the MP/16 when

you power it on, the MP/16 defaults to the AUI port. If you later

decide to connect to the UTP port, you must reset the MP/16 by

powering it off.

ThinNet Installations

If you want to connect the MP/16 to “thin Ethernet” coaxial cable,

you will need a Multiple Access Unit (MAU) to convert from one

of the existing connectors.
