Apple Power Macintosh 9600 - Manual (Page 56)

Connecting to a twisted-pair Ethernet network
Follow this procedure to connect your Macintosh to an Ethernet network that
uses twisted-pair cable. The hardware connection requires a twisted-pair
patch cord with an RJ-45 telephone-style connector. You plug the patch cord
into a wall plate that is connected to a centralized 10Base-T hub.
To connect your Macintosh to a twisted-pair Ethernet network:
1 Shut down your Macintosh.
2 Plug one end of the twisted-pair patch cord into the 10Base-T Ethernet port on
your Macintosh.
3 Plug the other end of the twisted-pair patch cord into an RJ-45 wall outlet that is
connected to a twisted-pair Ethernet network.
Next, see “Configuring Your Network Connection” later in this chapter for
information on configuring your network connection.
Connecting to a thin coaxial Ethernet network
Follow this procedure to connect your Macintosh 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.
