Network Information
This chapter describes how to connect the system unit to a network and how to
disconnect it from a network. It includes information on the following tasks:
• Selecting the Ethernet type
• Connecting the system unit to a ThinWire Ethernet network
• Connecting the system unit to a standard Ethernet network
• Connecting the system unit to a DECconnect™ faceplate
• Testing the Ethernet installation
• Completing the Ethernet installation
• Removing the system unit from a network
This chapter may contain some terms that are unfamiliar to you. These terms
are defined in the glossary.
If you have never connected a computer to an Ethernet network, you may
need help from a system manager or a network coordinator. If a system
manager or network coordinator is not available, contact your Digital Services
representative.
Caution
Disconnecting Ethernet cables and terminators from the T-connectors
on active Ethernet networks disrupts local network communications.
