NETWORK CABLE CONNECTION
Connecting a Thin Coax CableThe SMC9432BTX provides a BNC connector that supports a thin coax cable network connection (see Figure 2-2). Connection to a thin coax cable requires a BNC T-Connector, as shown in Figure 2-3 on the next page.
Figure 2-2. BNC Connector Port (SMC9432BTX)
Use the following procedure to make a BNC connection to the network.
1.Align the T-Connector's slots with the pins on the network card's BNC port, push in the T-Connector, and twist the collar clockwise until it is securely in place.
2.Attach one end of a thin coax cable to one side of the T-Connector.
3.Attach one end of another thin coax cable to the other side of the T-Connector. If the network card is at the end of the cable, attach a 50-ohm terminator to the T-Connector, as shown in Figure 2-3.
