Connecting to 10Base2 Thin Ethernet
Networks

The Trumpcard can only be connected to a 10Base2 Network by using the
Media Access Module.

The following items are required to interconnect the Trumpcard to a
10Base2 thin coax Ethernet Network:

• A BNC coaxial T-connector.

• Coaxial cable(s) and a 50 ohm cable terminator if required.

To connect the Trumpcard to a 10Base2 Network connection using the
Media Access Module, follow these steps:

For the multi-function Trumpcard, the Ethernet connection is
identified on the back of the PC Card; insert the PCMCIA Ethernet
Adapter connector on the Media Access Module into the one
marked Ethernet.

• Attach the T-connector to the BNC connector on the Media Access

Module, align the notches in the T-connector with the posts on the
BNC connector, push the connector in, and twist about one-quarter
turn (until it is seated properly).

• Connect the coaxial cable(s) to the open ends of the T-connector to

form a single Network segment. If at the end of the network
segment, attach a 50 ohm cable terminator to the unused
T-connector post.

Note:

The Trumpcard is keyed to go in one way only. If you feel resistance

before the it is fully inserted, remove it, turn it over, and re-insert it.
