Connecting to the Network

You must connect the adapter to the network before installing the drivers.

This section describes how to connect different types of network cables to the 3C592 EISA adapters. Table 2-1 lists the types of network cable connectors that are found on 3C592 EISA adapters.

Table 2-1 Connectors for 3C592 EISA Adapters

Cable Type	Connector	Transceiver Type
Thick coaxial	AUI	External
Twisted-pair	RJ-45	On-board TP
Thin coaxial	BNC	On-board coax

Connecting to the On-board Transceiver

Each 3C592 EISA adapter is equipped with an on-board transceiver to allow easy connection to the network.

Connecting to Thin Ethernet Cable

The 3C592-COMBO adapter is factory-set to use the on-board transceiver as the default with thin Ethernet cable.

1Connect the T connector to the adapter’s BNC connector (see Figure 2-3).
