Connecting and Configuring the Analyzer
Connecting the Analyzer to the LAN
Connecting the Analyzer to the LAN
Your analyzer has an RJ-45 connector (see Figure 1-1) and connects to
your network using 10Base-T unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling,
also called Ethertwist. Ethertwist cables resemble standard modular
phone cables.
NOTE If your network uses ThinLAN (10Base-2), you will need to purchase an
adapter which converts the ThinLAN BNC connector to 10Base-T
Ethertwist.
To connect the analyzer to your network:
1.Turn off the analyzer.
2.Connect the Ethertwist cable from your network to the LAN
ETHERTWIST port on the rear of your analyzer.
3.Turn on the analyzer.
