Technical Specifications A-5
Asanté FriendlyNet cards and Apple computers and printers with built-in Ethernet do not directly connect to the Ethernet cable; instead, an external transceiver, like the Asanté FriendlyNet Media adapter, is used. This approach lets you change network media by only changing the external adapter instead of the card.The following table describes the AUI connector pinouts.
