BNC Port Termination
McBasic TP/BNC features
a 2-position switch next
to the BNC connector
that allows a thin coaxial
segment to be terminated
at the port without an
additional ‘T’ connector
and terminator.
If McBasic TP/BNC is
attached to a mid-point
of a thin Ethernet
segment, attach a ‘T’
connector to the BNC
port.
Termination must be OFF (disabled). Termination is disabled when the switch is in
the left position. If a thin Ethernet segment is to be terminated at the McBasic
TP/BNC, attach the cable directly to the BNC connector and set the termination
switch to ON (enabled –factory default) by moving the switch to the right position.
