Figure 3-5. Connecting an AUI Cable
Any adapter with an AUI Port can be connected to the network
via a transceiver and an AUI cable. The AUI port should have
been selected during the installation procedure. To connect an AUI
cable to your adapter, attach an external transceiver to the network
segment to which the adapter will be attached. Refer to the
applicable transceiver manual. Attach the female end of an AUI
cable, no more than 50 meters in length, to the transceiver.
Attach the male connector (3, Figure 3-5) on the AUI cable to the
adapter’s AUI port (2) and tighten the securing screws (4).
