Xante 3 Series warranty Connecting to the Ethernet Port, Thin Coaxial Cable 10Base2

Before using your printer, install and configure the Adobe PostScript printer driver and your printer’s PPD. See “XANTÉ Utilities Installer” and “Adobe PostScript Printer Drivers” in chapter 4.

Connecting to the Ethernet Port

With the Ethernet feature, you can connect to a network using unshielded twisted pair or coaxial cable.

Unshielded Twisted Pair (10BaseT, Optional 10/100BaseT)

Each device in a network installation using UTP cable must be connected to a hub. The maximum length for a UTP cable connection from device to hub is 328 feet (100 m). Larger networks are formed by linking hubs to repeaters, routers, gateways, or to other hubs.

UTP cable is the wire used in many telephone installations. The connectors used for an Ethernet network using UTP cable are RJ-45 plugs, which are similar to, but larger than ordinary telephone jacks.

Note: You can connect two Ethernet devices together, bypassing a hub, using a 10BaseT crossover/patch cable where pin 1 is crossed to pin 3 and pin 2 is crossed to pin 6.

Thin Coaxial Cable (10Base2)

Thinnet networks, which use coaxial cable, connect in a daisy-chain configuration. A “T” connection with a male BNC connector is used to connect each device to the main cable. The maximum cable length for a network segment is 607 ft. (185 m). Repeaters, routers, and gateways may be used to increase the overall length of the network or for connections to other networks.

To connect your printer to the Ethernet Interface

1.Turn off the printer.
