Connecting the Components
4-56800-A2-GN22-30 January 1997
If the customer wants to install additional full-feature workstations, this will have to be done via a
local area network. Up to five workstations can be connected to the network — for a total of six.
The connection process is done in three stages, depending on how many workstations the customer
ultimately installs. The following explains:
• Stage 1 — Connect a Second Full-Feature Workstation. To connect a second full-feature
workstation, you must perform the following activities:
— Connect the network hub unit to the Ethernet card in the host processor using an AUI
adapter.
— Install a 3COM 3C503 EtherLink II card in the full-feature workstation (may be factory
or field installed) — see Chapter 2, Preparing the Processors, for more details.
— Connect the full-feature workstation to the network hub unit.
• Stage 2 — Connect a Third Full-Feature Workstation. To connect a third full-feature
workstation, you will need to connect a User Interface Processor (UIP) to the network hub
unit. The display unit and keyboard on the UIP will serve as both UIP console and
full-feature workstation.
• Stage 3 — Connect the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Full-Feature Workstations. The UIP
that serves as the third full-feature workstation will also support the fourth, fifth, and sixth
full-feature workstations, if they are added. These workstations are connected to the network
hub and are supported by the UIP.
