In most systems, the configuration is “plug and play”, which requires no operations on the part of the installer. The following are detailed instructions for the hardware installation procedure. Installing the Hardware This installation procedure is for installing an adapter into standard, compliant systems.
Connecting to the Network There are two ways to connect the system using twisted pair: (1) system to system; (2) direct system to hub or switch. • You can connect your adapter directly to another system with a null cable. A null cable, or crossover cable, “crosses over” the transmit and receive pairs. If a null cable cannot be purchased, the following wiring diagram may be used. • You can connect your adapter directly to a hub or switch with an unshielded twistedpair (UTP) cable.
