Workstations and MicroVAX 2000

This guide provides instructions for configuring and installing ThinWire Ethernet networks for VAXstation 2000 and MicroVAX 2000 systems. It covers the following key areas:

• Network Overview: Explains the purpose of networks, definitions of Ethernet, and information on DECnet, ULTRIX, and Local Area VAXclusters.
• Hardware and Configurations: Details basic ThinWire components (cables, T-connectors, terminators) and describes various network configurations including the DECconnect approach, daisy-chaining, and combining different Ethernet types.
• Installation: Provides step-by-step procedures for installing ThinWire hardware, connecting stations, and adding repeaters (DEMPR, DESPR) and bridges.
• Verification and Troubleshooting: Describes how to verify the network installation using console commands (e.g., TEST 50) and how to troubleshoot common issues with hardware components.
• Standard Ethernet: Provides specific instructions for connecting systems to standard Ethernet networks.
