Transcend Information III manual Connecting to an External Transceiver

2-6 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE EISA ADAPTER

2Align the T connector’s slots with the pegs on the BNC connector.

3Push the T connector in and twist it clockwise until it stops. The next step is to load the drivers, as explained in Chapter 3.

Connecting to Twisted-pair Cable

The 3C592-COMBO and 3C592-TPO adapters are both equipped with an on-board transceiver for connection to twisted-pair cable.

1Make sure that the connector on your cable is wired appropriately for standard 10BASE-T adapter cards.

Refer to Appendix A for RJ-45 connector pin assignments.

2Align the RJ-45 connector on the end of the twisted-pair cable with the notch on the adapter’s plug and insert it into the adapter socket.

The next step is to load the drivers, as explained in Chapter 3.

Connecting to an External Transceiver

You can install AUI-equipped adapters and, by employing an external transceiver, use either thin or thick coax, fiber-optic, or twisted-pair cabling. Follow these steps to connect to an external transceiver:

1Locate the adapter’s AUI connector and move the slide latch to the open position, as shown in Figure 2-4.

2Connect the AUI cable or transceiver to the AUI connector on the adapter, as shown in Figure 2-5.

3Move the slide latch to the closed position to lock the cable in place.

4Connect the other end of the AUI cable to the external transceiver.
