Connecting to twisted-pair Ethernet
Follow this procedure to connect the server to a network that implements
Ethernet over twisted-pair cable. The hardware connection requires an Apple
(or Apple-compatible) twisted-pair transceiver and a twisted-pair patch cord
with an RJ-45 telephone-style connector jack. You plug the transceiver into a
standard wall plate that is connected to a centralized 10BASE-T hub.
To connect the server to a twisted-pair network:
1
Make sure that the server is turned off.
2
Plug one end of the twisted-pair patch cord into the transceiver and the other end into an
RJ-45 wall outlet that supports twisted-pair Ethernet.
3
Plug the connector on the transceiver into the Ethernet port on the server.
Note: After you start up the server, check that the green light-emitting diode
(LED) on the twisted-pair transceiver is lit. The LED will confirm that the
server is properly connected to the hub.
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.
