3.2 Connecting the System Unit to a ThinWire Ethernet
Network
To connect the system unit to a ThinWire Ethernet cable, follow these steps:
1. If the ThinWire Ethernet cable is already assembled, remove the ThinWire
Ethernet T-connector and terminators from the system and connect the
cable (see Figure 3–3). Go to Section 3.5 if you are not connecting the
system to a DECconnect faceplate.
2. If the system unit is the first or last system on the ThinWire Ethernet
cable, remove one terminator from the T-connector on the back of the
system unit. If the system unit is not the first or last system on the
ThinWire Ethernet cable, remove both terminators.
3. Attach the ThinWire Ethernet cable to one side of the T-connector if you
are connecting the system to the end of the ThinWire Ethernet cable (see
Figure 3–2 A). Attach the ThinWire Ethernet cables to both sides of the
T-connector if you are connecting the system to the middle of the ThinWire
Ethernet cable (Figure 3–2 B).
