C onnecting to th e O n -b o a rd Transceiver
Each EtherLink III adapter is equipped with an on-board
transceiver to allow easy connection to the network.
Connecting to Thin Ethernet Cable
The EtherLink III coax adapter (3C509B) and the
3C509B-COMBO adapter are factory-set to use the on-board
transceiver with thin Ethernet cable. Follow these steps:
1
Connect the T connector on the thin Ethernet cable to the
adapter's BNC connector (see Figure 2-1).
2
Align the
T
connector's slots with the pegs on the BNC
connector.
3 Push the T connector in and twist it clockwise until it stops.
The next step is to configure the adapter, as explained in
Chapter 3, "Configuring the Adapter."
