OR, using Sneel & wilcox rollcall: Connect a Buss network using T peices on ALL devices from 75ohm coax, connect in a chain, and on the end devices, add a 75ohm terminator. Do NOT have a network running with the chain end running straight into a device! | OR, using Sneel & wilcox rollcall: Connect a Buss network using T peices on ALL devices from 75ohm coax, connect in a chain, and on the end devices, add a 75ohm terminator.
