2-8 CHAPTER 2: GETTING STARTED
LAN Connection
(Mandatory)
This connection is required in either Ethernet or Token Ring
environments.
Ethernet
1 Connect your Ethernet LAN to the appropriate interface connector for
your media type (10BaseT, BNC, or AUI). These connectors are located
on the rear panel. If a 10Base5 (thick Ethernet) connection is required,
use a third-party AUI to coax transceiver. Move the media selector
switch to the appropriate position.
When using an external 10Base5 (thick Ethernet) transceiver, the
AccessBuilder’s LAN controller test will fail if the BNC interface is NOT
terminated. If this happens, be sure that a 50-ohm BNC termination
resistor is installed on each end of your cable run and reboot the
system.
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 PC
running terminal emulation (DTE) with a straight-through cable to the
AccessBuilder’s console port (DCE). Default settings are 9600 Baudrate,
8 bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.
