The next step is to load the drivers, as explained in Chapter 3.
Connecting to Twisted-pair Cable
The 3C592-COMBO and 3C592-TPO adapters are both
equipped with an on-board transceiver for connection to
twisted-pair cable.
1
Make sure that the connector on your cable is wired
appropriately for standard 10BASE-T adapter cards.
Refer to Appendix A for RJ-45 connector pin assignments.
2
Align the RJ-45 connector on the end of the twisted-pair
cable with the notch on the adapter’s plug and insert it
into the adapter socket.
The next step is to load the drivers, as explained in Chapter 3.
Connecting to an External Transceiver
You can install AUI-equipped adapters and, by employing an
external transceiver, use either thin or thick coax, fiber-optic,
or twisted-pair cabling. Follow these steps to connect to an
external transceiver:
1
Locate the adapter’s AUI connector and move the slide
latch to the open position, as shown in Figure 2-4.
2
Connect the AUI cable or transceiver to the AUI connector
on the adapter, as shown in Figure 2-5.
3
Move the slide latch to the closed position to lock the
cable in place.
4
Connect the other end of the AUI cable to the external
transceiver.
