Connecting to Your 10Base2 LAN
You can use the10Base2 Coaxial port to connect to
your network and to other OfficeConnect units.
When using 10Base2 cable, it is important that both
ends of the segment are properly terminated with
50 Ohm end pieces.
Only use 50 Ohm 10BaseT cables and use a ‘Y’ piece
for each unit to ensure adequate clearance of the
other ports.
Due to
the small size of the unit, you may
find that a traditional ‘T’ piece does not provide
enough clearance to allow space for fingers and
cables when units are stacked together.
1
Connect a 10Base2 ‘Y’ piece to each
OfficeConnect
unit and every other device to be connected.
2
Daisy-chain each ‘Y’ piece with a length of 10Base2
coaxial cable to form a single segment as shown in
Figure 1-6
. Remember to terminate
the
two free ends
of the segment by fitting end pieces.
To disconnect a 10Base2 cable, twist each connector
counter-clockwise to unlock it and remove it.
