Connecting to 10MB/s Ethernet Telemetry Networks

You can connect the probe to the network either by connecting the RJ-45 connector to a 10Base-T/100Base-TXhalf-duplex network or by connecting the AUI connector to a 10MB/s Ethernet network. Use the following procedures to connect the probe’s AUI connector to a 10MB/s Ethernet network for telemetry communications. Never use both the AUI and RJ-45 connectors.

1.Connect the probe’s AUI port, located on the rear panel, to the network with an AUI cable. Figure 3-4 shows how to connect the probe to a 10MB/s Ethernet network using the AUI connector.

2.Select AUI as the Physical Connector parameter from the Modify/View Interface Values menu. Refer to Step 1 on page 25 for information on configuring the Physical Connector parameter.
