Installing the Hardware

Requirements

You need the following to install the NIC:

Network cabling certified for 10 and 100 MB operation. The NIC supports 10BaseT and 100BaseT cabling. Use category 5 unshielded twisted pair cabling for 100 MB operation.

Phillips-head screwdriver

If a BNC (10Base2) connection is required, purchase a BNC/ RJ45 transceiver or hub from your local dealer or distributor.

If a connection from a single computer to a printer is required, use a mini-hub and two network cables.

NOTE: You can use an Rx/Tx crossover cable as a direct connection to a single computer without a hub. However, an Rx/Tx crossover cable is a nonstandard cable that may not be available from a local dealer. If you use an Rx/Tx crossover cable, make sure that it is clearly labeled so it is not confused with standard network cables for use with network hubs or switches.
