3.3 Connecting the System Unit to a DECconnect Faceplate
If DECconnect products are installed, a DECconnect faceplate may be on the
wall. You can connect VAX systems to DECconnect faceplates using different
methods. You can connect either a single VAX system or connect several VAX
systems in series. Ask the network coordinator for advice on how to connect
the system to the DECconnect faceplate.
If you want to connect only one system to the faceplate, see Figure 3–4 and
follow these steps:
1. Remove the ThinWire Ethernet terminator from one side of the T-connector.
2. Attach the ThinWire Ethernet cable to one side of the T-connector.
3. Attach the other end of the ThinWire Ethernet cable to the DECconnect
faceplate.
Go to Section 3.5 for information on how to test the network installation.
