Installing Your System
2.3 Connecting System Components
For diagnostic purposes, note the following:
•
The T-connector and two terminators complete the ThinWire Ethernet
circuit. Later, when you decide to connect to a network, you exchange
ThinWire cable sections for one or both terminators, depending on your
network setup.
•
The loopback connector completes the standard Ethernet circuit.
To connect the T-connector and loopback connector, follow these steps:
1.
Push one terminator into one side of the T-connector, then turn the
terminator clockwise until it locks in place.
2.
Push the second terminator into the other side of the T-connector, then turn
the terminator clockwise until it locks in place, as shown in Figure 2–5.

of the system unit by turning the T-connector clockwise until it locks into
place.
