Installing the MacCon3 IIsi and MacCon 30i Cards

If you have a Macintosh IIsi or a Macintosh SE/30, use a MacCon3 IIsi
or a MacCon+ 30i to connect to the Ethernet. (The cards are not
designed for a Macintosh SE.)

Each card consists of two parts:

The larger

controller

card, which plugs into the expansion

slot in the Macintosh.

The smaller

daughter

card, which is mounted on the rear

access port to enable a connection to the Ethernet cable.

You connect the two cards with a ribbon cable after installing them.

Setting the Cable Type on the Daughter Card

With the MacCon+ 30iET and MacCon+ 30iE, set the cable type by
pressing the switch in the lower left corner on the daughter card.
Select the switch position, as specified in the table below, by press-
ing the switch with a pointed tool. With the MacCon+ 30iET, select
TPL if your hub supports link integrity; select TPN if it does not.

The MacCon3 card has autosensing ports and does not require a
switch to be set.
