Chapter 2 Installing the Remote Annex 2000
Each connection type requires a different connection procedure
described in the following sections. Connect only one type of Ethernet
cabling at one time.
Make sure the Remote Annex 2000 is powered off before
disconnecting or connecting the Ethernet cabling.
The following subsections contain a description of how to connect
your Remote Annex 2000 to:
❑ Thin Ethernet (10Base2).
❑ Thick Ethernet (10Base5).
❑ Twisted Pair (10BaseT).
Connecting Thin Ethernet (10Base2) Cable
To connect to Thin Ethernet (10Base2) or equivalent cable, you must
use a T-connector. The T-connector is installed in your Ethernet
network cable. Follow these steps to connect the Remote Annex 2000
to a Thin Ethernet cable (see
Figure 2-2):
1 Verify that both sides of the T-connector are connected to the Thin
Ethernet cable.
If the Remote Annex 2000 is the last device on the Thin Ethernet
cable, make sure that one side of the T-connector is connected to
the cable and the other side is connected to a network terminator.
2 Plug the T-connector on the Thin Ethernet cable (RG-58 coaxial
cable) into the 10Base2 Ethernet connector (optional) located on
the rear panel of the Remote Annex 2000.
