The AUI port is a 15-pin D-sub female connector, located on the back
panel. This AUI backbone port connects the repeater to the network
using a standard AUI drop cable. See Figure 9. Alternatively, you can
fit any of a variety of Allied Telesyn’s 802.3 transceivers into this port
should you select a different medium such as fiber optics.
