Network
Interface		Description
Ethernet and		Supports the Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 standards that provide LAN connectivity. The
Second Ethernet		ARN can have up to two Ethernet interfaces: one on the base module and one on an
		expansion module.
		The Ethernet interface on the base module can be a 10BASE-T, a 10/100BASE-Tx, or a
		100BASE-Fx. The 10BASE-T can also be used as an expansion module. There are two
		ports available for each 10BASE-T: a 10BASE-T and an 802.3 AUI port; however, you
		can use only one of these ports (10BASE-T or AUI) on each module at a time.
		The 10BASE-T and 10/100BASE-Tx interfaces provide unshielded twisted-pair
		support; the 10BASE-T AUI interface provides broadband, baseband, fiber, and
		shielded twisted-pair support, depending on the transceiver and cabling you use. The
		100BASE-Fx provides fiber support.
Token Ring and		Supports the token ring and IEEE 802.5 standards that provide LAN connectivity. The
Second Token		ARN can have up to two token ring interfaces: one on the base module and one on an
Ring		expansion module.
		The token ring base module supports a 9-pin (DB-9) STP token ring interface. The
		token ring expansion module supports both a 9-pin (DB-9) STP connector and a UTP
		connector; however, you can use only one port (STP or UTP) on the expansion module
		at a time.
		Both token ring connector types support the 802.5 media access control (MAC)
		token-passing protocol, the 802.2 Type 1 (connectionless) protocol, the 802.2 Type 2
		(connection-oriented) protocol, and the 16-Mb/s Early Token Release (ETR) protocol
		over the appropriate cabling.
