CHAPTER 3
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS
This section contains instructions for connecting your adapter to
an Ethernet network. An adapter can be connected to the network
through either a media interface port or an AUI port on the
adapter. You should have selected the port during the
configuration procedures. If you did not, refer to the appropriate
section for your adapter.
We recommend that you run the diagnostic program before
connecting your PC to a network segment. You can run the
diagnostic program from the Cabletron installer program on the
Cabletron software diskettes.
NOTE: If you run the diagnostic program, be sure to perform a soft
(warm) boot on your PC before continuing.
