3. Carefully strip 1/4" of the insulation from the
black and red twisted pair wire. If too little
insulation is stripped, and insulation is inside
the connector, the network will not
communicate. If too much is stripped, the wires
will short. Refer to Figure 5.
4. Remove the connector (part number 210099)
from the literature packet or kit.
5. Insert the wire into the connector. The red
incoming wire goes into slot 1 and the black
incoming wire goes into slot 2. Check that only
wire, not insulation is inside the connector.
Incorrect installation could result in the
network not communicating. Secure the wires
in place by tightening the screws on top of the
connector. refer to Figure 6
6. Cut an ample length of wire to reach the next
machine’s connector. The wire should be long
enough to move the machine for maintenance,
but not so long as to interfere with normal
operation. refer to Figure 7
7. Strip 1/4 if the insulation and place the red
outgoing wire into slot 4 and black outgoing
into slot 5. Follow the same procedure in step 5.
8. Connect the wired connector to the Network
Board Header. Refer to Figure 7.
9. Run the wire to the next machine and follow
steps 3-8 until all machines have been
connected. Refer to Figure 7.
10. On the final machine, wires should be run into
slots 1 and 2 as on all previous machines. A 120
Ohm, 1/2 Watt terminating resistor should be
placed in slots 4 and 5 to terminate the
connection at the end of the network. Refer to
Figure 7.
NOTE: It is recommended that some type of
terminal strip be used when connecting banks of
machines onto a network. This should be done so
that a bank of machines can easily be bypassed in
the network for purposes such as debugging
network problems. A barrier block (such as part
number 210161) may be used for this purpose.
