Installing and Configuring the Adapter 2-5
With a Thin coaxial cable
Caution!
• Check with your network administrator before connect-
ing the EtherPaC 2000+ Adapter to the network.
• If the Ethernet cable does not have a T-connector or a
BNC barrel connecting two cable segments, splice the
cable with the appropriate BNC hardware.
• Connect the BNC T-connector on the Ethernet cable to
the adapter’s BNC port.
• If the PC is at the end of a network segment, keep the
T-connector and terminator on the segment cable and
connect the T-connector to the adapter’s BNC port. The
connector slips on, twists, and locks in place.
With a Thick coaxial cable
• Connect the DB-15 connector on one end of a thick
transceiver cable to the adapter and connect the other
end of the cable to the external transceiver.
• Lock the connector or tighten the screws.
❖ Note: Your EtherPac 2000+ Adapter may have more
than one connector. You can connect the card to only
one cable at one time.
7 Power on the computer.
❖ Note: If you have connected to a 10BaseT Ethernet
cable, the green link LED (on the 10T or 3-in-1 Adapter)
lights up to indicate a valid10BaseT link. If the LED
does not light up, check the connection.
