MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS

CHAPTER 3

MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS

This section contains instructions for connecting your adapter to an Ethernet network. An adapter can be connected to the network through either a media interface port or an AUI port on the adapter. You should have selected the port during the configuration procedures. If you did not, refer to the appropriate section for your adapter.

We recommend that you run the diagnostic program before connecting your PC to a network segment. You can run the diagnostic program from the Cabletron installer program on the Cabletron software diskettes.

NOTE: If you run the diagnostic program, be sure to perform a soft (warm) boot on your PC before continuing.
