The following types of network-specific MAUs are available for connecting to the
AUI port:

z

Fiber-Optic MAU (Agilent 28683A) - for fiber-optic cabling

z

10Base-2 MAU (Agilent 28641B) - for ThinLAN cabling

NOTE

If the SQE test is available on the MAU, disable it.

Connecting to 10Base-T/100Base-TX Telemetry Networks

You can connect the probe to the network either by connecting the RJ-45
connector to a 10Base-T/100Base-TX half-duplex or full-duplex network or by
connecting the AUI connector to a 10MB/s Ethernet network.

Use the following procedures to connect the probe’s RJ-45 connector to a 10MB/s
or 100MB/s Ethernet network for telemetry communications. Never use both the
AUI and RJ-45 connectors.
