2-8 CHAPTER 2: GETTING STARTEDLAN Connection(Mandatory)This connection is required in either Ethernet or Token Ringenvironments.Ethernet1 Connect your Ethernet LAN to the appropriate interface connector foryour media type (10BaseT, BNC, or AUI). These connectors are locatedon the rear panel. If a 10Base5 (thick Ethernet) connection is required,use a third-party AUI to coax transceiver. Move the media selectorswitch to the appropriate position.When using an external 10Base5 (thick Ethernet) transceiver, theAccessBuilder’s LAN controller test will fail if the BNC interface is NOTterminated. If this happens, be sure that a 50-ohm BNC terminationresistor is installed on each end of your cable run and reboot thesystem.2 Install and connect your I/O card (or cards) to your modems, CSU/DSU,ISDN line, etc. Refer to Appendix C for details.3 (Console connection -- optional step) Connect a terminal or a PCrunning terminal emulation (DTE) with a straight-through cable to theAccessBuilder’s console port (DCE). Default settings are 9600 Baudrate,8 bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.Figure 2-3 AccessBuilder Ethernet Thin LAN Connection110-240 VAC50-60 Hz 1AUTPCONSOLEBNCBNC/AUI/TPEETHERNETAUISLOT 2SLOT 1Thin EthernetConnectionab4kbook Page 8 Thursday, March 27, 1997 11:51 AM
