Technical information

Connecting to other types of Ethernet network

The Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter is a universal adapter that lets you connect your computer to less-

common types of industry-standard Ethernet media such as thick coaxial or fiber-optic cable. The

adapter connects both to the port on an Apple AAUI Ethernet card and to an electrical socket.

You also need an Ethernet transceiver for the type of cable your network uses. The transceiver must

have a standard AUI port on it.

To connect your computer to your Ethernet transceiver and the Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter, follow

these instructions:

1 Shut down your computer.

2 Connect the Ethernet transceiver to the network following the instructions that came with the

transceiver.

3 Plug the transceiver cable from the Ethernet transceiver into the AUI port on the Apple Ethernet AUI

Adapter.

4 Plug the adapter’s power cord into an electrical power outlet.
