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).
