CAUTION

Installation of a DE-528CT Ethernet adapter requires two steps:

:

Step 1

expansion slot

1. Shut down the computer, unplug its power cord, and remove the

chassis c o ver.

2. Insert the card into the connector of any open PCI Bus I/O expansion

slot. Ascertain that the card is fully seated in the expansion slot
connector.

3. Install the bracket screw which secures the card to the computer

chassis.

4. Replace the computer

To prevent the damage to the product due to
ESD, please use wrist straps during the
installation and maintenance.

Step 2. Network Cable
Connections

Before connecting a network cable to the DE-528CT adapter, ascertain that
the network cable medium is

Twisted-Pair

1

Thin Coaxial

or

2

cable. Then refer to one of the two sections following, according to your

network cable type.

Twisted-Pair Cable

3

Ascertain that you have a straight
or EIA/TIA-568 non-standard 100-ohm STP cable, not more than 100 meters
(328 feet) in length for the network connection. The cable will have an RJ-45
plug on each end. The stations are connected in a star topology.

1

Twisted Pair (TP) cable features RJ-45 connectors, and is available with or without EM

shield. TP cable without EM shield is also known as 10BaseT cable or UTP (Unshielded
Twisted-Pair) cable. TP cable with EM shield is known as screened twisted-pair cable, and
the EM shield may be either an aluminum sheath or a copper braid enclosing the twisted-pair
bundle.

2

Thin Coaxial

including 10Base2 cabl e , BNC cable, and R G -58 cable.

3

Pins 1 and 2 must be a pair (the connected wires must be a twisted pair in the cable makeup)
and pins 3 and 6 must be a pair. Each pin must connect straight through the cable (that is pin
1 through to pin 1 of the opposite connector, pin 2 to pin 2, pin 3 to pin 3, and pin 6 to pin 6;
pins 4, 5, 7, 8 are not used).

3-2 Hardware Installation

DE-528CT Ethernet Adapter / User s Guide

Plug one end into the RJ-45 receptacle of the DE-528CT adapter, and plug
the other end into an available port of a 10Base-T hub. Push each RJ-45
plug into its receptacle until its retainer snaps into place.

Thin Coaxial
Cable

Ascertain that you have 0.2 inch diameter RG-58A/U 50-ohm coaxial
cable, with BNC connectors at each end, not more than 185 meters (600
feet) in length for the network connection. The stations are connected in a
bus topology. Follow the steps:

1. Connect a BNC T-connector onto the BNC receptacle of the DE-

528CT card.

2. Connect the network cable onto either open end of the BNC

connector

.

T-

3a. If the cable continues on to an additional station or stations, then

connect the continuation cable onto the remaining open end of the
BNC T-connector.

3b. If the network cable does not continue to additional stations (your

computer is at the end of the cable), then connect a 50-ohm terminator
to the remaining open end of the BNC T-connector.

OFTWARE INSTALLATION

On account of the great variety of network environments in which the DE­528CT may be installed and used, and the frequency of revisions in these
network systems, the instructions for software installation are given as
README files on the DE-528CT driver program diskette supplied in your
DE-528CT package.

Required software is provided on a diskette labeled the DE-528CT
Installation. The diskette contains drivers for various NOSs (Network
Operating System), and README files which provide instructions for
installing the driver specific to your NOS.

Insert the DE-528CT Installation program diskette in an available diskette
drive (here shown as drive A).

The DE-528CT adapter will be automatically configured when the
computer is powered on.

Run the SETUP.EXE configuration and diagnostics program to verify
configuration of the DE-528CT as set by the installation procedure, and
assist with isolation of any faults in operation. These procedures are
optional, and will only be useful in the unusual event that there is a fault,
such as an interrupt number conflict among your computer
cards. If your installation provides normal operation, you might choose to
skip these procedures.
