Connecting to thin coaxial Ethernet

Follow this procedure to connect the server to an Ethernet network that uses
thin coaxial cable. The hardware connection requires an Apple (or Apple-
compatible) thin coaxial transceiver and a thin coaxial cable.

To connect the server to a thin coaxial network:

1

Make sure that the server is turned off.

2

Attach one end of a thin coaxial cable to one of the posts on the thin coaxial transceiver.

3

Attach the other end of the cable to the last thin coaxial transceiver on the network.

A thin coaxial network must be terminated at the endpoints to function. An Apple
transceiver is self-terminating. A non-Apple transceiver may require a terminator;
check the documentation that came with the transceiver.

4

Plug the connector on the transceiver into the Ethernet port on the server.

The Workgroup Server is preset to use the system’s network software
connection for Ethernet. When you start up the server, you can use available
network services immediately.
