Connect the Network Cable
Before connecting any cables make sure your printer is turned off. The LAN card has three cable ports, two for Ethernet networks and one for LocalTalk networks. If you have an Ethernet network, you may use either thin coaxial cable or twisted pair cable to connect the 1765 to your network. Your Silentwriter uses Automatic Interface Monitoring (AIM) to determine which interfaces are connected. For more information about AIM, see the User’s Guide.
WARNING! Turn the printer off before connecting any network cable.
WARNING! Using both Ethernet connectors simultaneously could result in errors while transmitting and printing data. Connect only one Ethernet cable type at a time. You may connect one Ethernet connection and LocalTalk at the same time.
note: If you are connecting to an active Ethernet network, the connection must be made quickly to minimize interruptions to the network.
Connecting Thin Coaxial Cable
Use the BNC
1.If you are connecting the Silentwriter into the middle of the network, connect Ethernet cable to both cable connectors of the BNC
2.If you are connecting to the end of a cable segment, connect Ethernet cable to one cable connector and connect a 50 phm Ethernet terminator to the other side.
3.Attach the BNC
4.Rotate the BNC
