Installing the Hardware

ThinLAN Connections.

For ThinLAN, connect the LAN cable to the

BNC connector on the back panel of the Gateway using a BNC “T”
connector. Make sure the ThinLAN segment is properly terminated.
If the Gateway is the end node on the LAN, a 50-ohm BNC
terminator must be attached to the “T” connector.
