Connecting to Twisted-pair Cable

The 3C592-COMBO and 3C592-TPO adapters are both
equipped with an on-board transceiver for connection to
twisted-pair cable.

1 Make sure that the connector on your cable is wired

appropriately for standard 10BASE-T adapter cards.

Refer to Appendix A for RJ-45 connector pin assignments.

2 Align the RJ-45 connector on the end of the twisted-pair

cable with the notch on the adapter’s plug and insert it
into the adapter socket.

The next step is to load the drivers, as explained in Chapter 3.

Connecting to an External Transceiver

You can install AUI-equipped adapters and, by employing an
external transceiver, use either thin or thick coax, fiber-optic,
or twisted-pair cabling. Follow these steps to connect to an
external transceiver:

1 Locate the adapter’s AUI connector and move the slide

latch to the open position, as shown in Figure 2-4.

2 Connect the AUI cable or transceiver to the AUI connector

on the adapter, as shown in Figure 2-5.

3 Move the slide latch to the closed position to lock the

cable in place.

4 Connect the other end of the AUI cable to the external

transceiver.
