Transceiver Cable	transceiver cable or a 3Com cable. The transceiver and transceiver cable
	must conform to IEEE 802.3 AUI mechanical and electrical
	specifications.
	3Com transceiver cables are available in lengths from 15 to 150 feet (4.6
	to 46 meters). Transceiver cables are also available with screw locks.
	The screw-lock transceiver cables include screw-lock posts to replace the
	slide-lock connection on the server.
	Before installing the cable, make sure that power to the server is off.
	CAUTION: Connecting or disconnecting the cable between the server
	and the transceiver while the server is turned on can damage the
	transceiver.
	Attach one end of the transceiver cable to the connector labeled 802.3
	Transceiver on the communications server’s back panel. Attach the other
	end to the transceiver.
Attaching a Printer	Attach the DB-25 end of the printer cable to the printer port (labeled
Cable	Parallel Printer) on the back panel. Attach the Centronics end of the
	cable to your printer. For more information, refer to your printer
	documentation.
	Figure 2-3 shows the cabling from the server to a printer.
	The cable between the server and the printer should not be more than 12
	feet long, so you must locate your printer close to the server.
	CAUTION: Although the printer port physically resembles the serial
	ports, they are not interchangeable. Attaching a serial cable to the
	parallel printer port can damage your server.
