Specifying an External Transceiver

This section applies to you only if your network adapter is attached to an external transceiver. An external transceiver is a small box that connects the network cable to the cable that attaches to a network adapter. Only some Ethernet network adapters use external transceivers.

To specify that you are using an external transceiver

1. Start the Network Client Setup program, as described in the section "Setting Up and Configuring Network Client" earlier in this chapter.

2. Select Change Network Configuration by pressing the UP ARROW key, and then press ENTER.

A list of options for modifying network-adapter and protocol settings appears.

3. Select Change Settings by pressing the UP ARROW key, and then press ENTER.

A list of network-adapter and protocol settings appears.

4. Press the UP ARROW key until you have selected the Transceiver setting, and then press ENTER.

A list of values appears.

5. From the list of values, select External, Thick, or DIX (depending on what kind of transceiver you have) by pressing the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW key. Then press ENTER.

The new value appears on the Transceiver line in the list of network-adapter settings.

6. Press ENTER, and then follow the instructions on the screen to complete Setup.

7. When Setup is complete, restart the computer by pressing ENTER.

If Network Client still does not start, proceed to the following section.
