Re: Twinax Wiring

[Jerome Draper <jdraper@xxxxxxx>]

Typically its positions 4 and 5 but it TOTALLY depends on your baluns (you
have AT&T).  Although it might work just balun to balun you probably will
have to get an active hub at the AS400 side so the signal gets amplified.
It might be easier to buy new baluns if you can't get the info you need
since they are cheap (+-$30).
