Installing a Network Tap
It
is very easy to
turn
your
IBM Personal
Computer
into
an
OMNINET
network
station. The first step is to
tap into the network. This section tells you
how
to
make
a tap.
1.
2.
Measure
the
distance
from
your
computer
to
the
OMNINET
cable.
If
your
computer
is farther
than
15
feet
(4.
5
m) from the OMNINET cable, go to
the
"Extending
Your OMNINET Cable" section
of
this guide
on
page
17.
If
the
computer
is
within
15
feet
of
the
cable, go
on
to step
2.
Remove
insulation
from
the
OMNINET
cable.
Find the
point
on
the OMNINET cable
which
is
closest to your computer. Use a knife to
cut
through
the outer insulation
of
the cable.
Remove
about
2 inches
(5
cm)
of
this
insulation
but
do
not
cut
the
inner
wires or
remove their insulation.

5.
Pull
apart
a
tap
box.
Insert
the
cable
wires
into
the
tap
box.
In
one
half
of
the tap box are two wire
guides.
Push
the
black wire from the
OMNINET cable into the "BLACK" wire
guide
and
the red wire into
the
"RED"
wire guide.
Close
the
tap
box.

Connecting
Your
IBM
PC
to
the
Network
Once you have created a
network
tap for your
computer, the
next
step is to install
the
Corvus
transporter card into your computer
and
to connect a
tap cable to the transporter card
and
tap box.
When
you have completed these steps, your
computer
will
be
set
up
as
an
OMNINET
network
station.
1.
Plug
a
tap
cable
into
the
tap
box
for
your
computer.

2. Set the device address
for your computer.
Hold
the
Corvus transporter card
with
the
metal "fingers" down.
At
the top left
of
the
card is a switch unit.
