PCNET II TERMINATOR ALTERNATIVE
|
||
|
||
|
||
At times it may be desirable to move nodes (network workstations)
|
||
to different locations along the trunk cable. If a terminated
|
||
node (jumper block T in position 2) is exchanged for a non-
|
||
terminated node (jumper block T in position 1) both PCs would
|
||
have to be opened to change these jumpers. The alternative is
|
||
to terminate the ends of the trunk cable and leave all the PCNet
|
||
II boards non-terminating. The termination must be done at the
|
||
two very end tap boxes using a 120 ohm resistor wired as seen in
|
||
figure 1. Type and wattage of the resistor is not important
|
||
although larger wattage resistors may not fit inside the tap box.
|
||
The resistors are not supplied by AST, but are available from
|
||
most electronic part suppliers.
