__________________________________________ Installation 2-33
a.
If the transceiver box has a single male BNC connector,
either plug it into an existing Ethernet drop or use a “T”
connector (fig. 2.23). Follow the directions included
with the transceiver.
Note:
Make sure to place a terminator in the open
connector if this is an end node on the network
(fig. 2.23).

b.
If the transceiver box has dual male BNC connectors,
first check the documentation to see if the unit is
self-terminating. Then, follow the instructions included
with the transceiver to attach one end of the coaxial
cable to the box.
Note:
You can plug the coaxial cable into either one of
the male connectors; however, make sure that if
this is an end-node on the network and the unit
is not self-terminating, that you place a
terminator in the open socket on the box.
4.
Plug the free end of the coaxial cable into the network.
5.
Turn on the printer.
Now that your Macintosh and printer are connected, you may need to
set the zone name. For details, see the next section.
