A4000 A2065 ethernet

[HellCoder]

I was just wondering, I've got an unused A2065 card, a A4000 and a working network (wireless and X-Surf stuff). Is there some sort of adapter so I can use the A2065 card in my current network?

I want to convert my coax output to the now normal DIN(?) network. Is this possible?

its not DIN, its RJ45; you need transceiver

I bought an adapter like this to connect my A2065 to my network.

you can get them cheap on ebay.

OK thanks, I'll have to look for the adapter than.
does it need terminators and stuff too?

Unlike coax cabling (which is a bus), twisted pair/RJ45 cabling runs from port to port (NIC to hub/switch) and is not especially terminated (well, OK, but that's built into the devices).
What you need:
- a hub/switch with enough ports for each device
- a patch cable for each device

some transceivers can switch to crosslink so you dont need crossed cable or hub for hooking-up two machines.

there are also transceivers with integrate two port hub(which is similar to T connectors on BNC

To connect your A2065 to a modern twisted pair ethernet you just need a transceiver. Plug the transceiver into the 15-pin port on the back of the card. You will also need to move a jumper or a block of jumpers on the card to tell it to use the other port.

Adding a cable between the transceiver and the card takes away some mechanical strain since transceivers can be a bit big.
