You can use either the 2CAN or the SERIAL to CAN adapter. The instructions for making making CAN cables, terminator, and a SERIAL to CAN adapter can be found here beginning on page 23.

In your case, I would use the SERIAL to CAN adapter setup for your testing, learning, developmental purposes.
There is a bit of a learning curve to get the environment setup. You'll need to load FIRMWARE and set ID's on the JAGS.
All the documentation you need can be found here: http://www.vexrobotics.com/vexpro/mo.../217-3367.html

There are also good examples in LABVIEW, for CAN Jaguar and Encoder that you can look at to get a better understanding of how to setup the environment.
