About this communications card

The Apple Ethernet CS Thin Coax Card expands the

communications capabilities of models of Macintosh

computers that have a communications slot (CS). The card

is designed for networks that conform to the IEEE 802.3

standard for Ethernet. To connect to an Ethernet network,

you must also install EtherTalk software, which is included

with the card.

After adding the card and installing EtherTalk software, you

connect to your network by attaching the network cable to

the card’s thin coaxial (“coax”) port using the T-connector

provided with the card. If your computer is physically

located in the first or last position on your network, you’ll

need to attach a terminator to one end of the cable’s

BNC-style T-connector. This guide provides complete

instructions for connecting the card and cable.

The Apple Ethernet CS Thin Coax Card works only with

Macintosh System 7 or later. For best performance your

system should have at least 4 megabytes (MB) of random-

access memory.

User’s guide

Note:

You’ll need to obtain the thin coax cable for your

network separately. If you’re adding your computer to

the end of the network, you’ll also need to obtain a

standard thin coax terminator. (The special 5-pack

version of the card includes two thin coax terminators.)

WARNING To avoid damage to the card and to

your other computer equipment, be sure that

you’ve turned off power to the computer before

beginning installation procedures.
