Connecting to the Network 2-5Connecting to the NetworkYou must connect the adapter to the network before installingthe drivers.This section describes how to connect different types ofnetwork cables to the 3C592 EISA adapters. Table 2-1 lists thetypes of network cable connectors that are found on 3C592EISA adapters.Connecting to the On-board TransceiverEach 3C592 EISA adapter is equipped with an on-boardtransceiver to allow easy connection to the network.Connecting to Thin Ethernet CableThe 3C592-COMBO adapter is factory-set to use the on-boardtransceiver as the default with thin Ethernet cable.1 Connect the T connector to the adapter’s BNC connector(see Figure 2-3).Figure 2-3 Connecting Thin Ethernet CableTable 2-1 Connectors for 3C592 EISA AdaptersCable Type Connector Transceiver TypeThick coaxial AUI ExternalTwisted-pair RJ-45 On-board TPThin coaxial BNC On-board coaxBNCconnectorAUIconnectorRJ-45connectorThin Ethernetcable
