Connecting the Components

If the customer wants to install additional full-feature workstations, this will have to be done via a local area network. Up to five workstations can be connected to the network Ð for a total of six. The connection process is done in three stages, depending on how many workstations the customer ultimately installs. The following explains:

•Stage 1 Ð Connect a Second Full-Feature Workstation. To connect a second full-feature workstation, you must perform the following activities:

ÐConnect the network hub unit to the Ethernet card in the host processor using an AUI adapter.

ÐInstall a 3COM 3C503 EtherLink II card in the full-feature workstation (may be factory or field installed) Ð see Chapter 2, Preparing the Processors, for more details.

ÐConnect the full-feature workstation to the network hub unit.

•Stage 2 Ð Connect a Third Full-Feature Workstation. To connect a third full-feature workstation, you will need to connect a User Interface Processor (UIP) to the network hub unit. The display unit and keyboard on the UIP will serve as both UIP console and full-feature workstation.

•Stage 3 Ð Connect the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Full-Feature Workstations. The UIP that serves as the third full-feature workstation will also support the fourth, fifth, and sixth full-feature workstations, if they are added. These workstations are connected to the network hub and are supported by the UIP.
