Agilent Technologies J3919A, J3972A manual Connecting to 10Base-T/100Base-TX Telemetry Networks

Installation

Connecting the Probe

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.

Figure 3-4: Connecting the Probe to a 10MB/s Ethernet Network

The following types of network-specific MAUs are available for connecting to the AUI port:

zFiber-Optic MAU (Agilent 28683A) - for fiber-optic cabling 10Base-2 MAU (Agilent 28641B) - for ThinLAN cabling

NOTE If the SQE test is available on the MAU, disable it.

Connecting to 10Base-T/100Base-TX Telemetry Networks

You can connect the probe to the network either by connecting the RJ-45 connector to a 10Base-T/100Base-TX half-duplex or full-duplex network or by connecting the AUI connector to a 10MB/s Ethernet network.
