Connect the Network Cable
Before connecting any cables make sure your printer is
turned off. The LAN card has three cable ports, two for
Ethernet networks and one for LocalTalk networks. If
you have an Ethernet network, you may use either thin
coaxial cable or twisted pair cable to connect the 1765 to
your network. Your Silentwriter uses Automatic
Interface Monitoring (AIM) to determine which
interfaces are connected. For more information about
AIM, see the User’s Guide.
WARNING! Turn the printer off before connecting
any network cable.
WARNING! Using both Ethernet connectors
simultaneously could result in errors while transmitting
and printing data. Connect only one Ethernet cable type
at a time. You may connect one Ethernet connection and
LocalTalk at the same time.
note: If you are connecting to an active Ethernet
network, the connection must be made quickly to
minimize interruptions to the network.
Connecting Thin Coaxial Cable
Use the BNC T-adaptor to connect the Silentwriter to a
network with thin coaxial Ethernet cable. Follow these
steps.
1.
If you are connecting the Silentwriter into the
middle of the network, connect Ethernet cable to
both cable connectors of the BNC T-adaptor.
2. If you are connecting to the end of a cable segment,
connect Ethernet cable to one cable connector and
connect a 50 phm Ethernet terminator to the other
side.
3. Attach the BNC T-adaptor to the bottom connector
on the LAN card panel (A).
4. Rotate the BNC T-adaptor clockwise to make sure
the connector is firmly attached (B).
