Connecting to other types of Ethernet
The Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter is a universal adapter that lets you connect the
server to less-common types of industry-standard Ethernet media, such as thick
coaxial or fiber-optic cable. If you are using the Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter,
you also need an Ethernet transceiver for your specific media type, and the
transceiver must have a standard AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) port on it.
To connect the server to an Ethernet transceiver for other types of Ethernet media:
1
Make sure that the server is turned off.
2
Connect the Ethernet transceiver to the network.
See the documentation for the type of Ethernet transceiver that you have.
3
Plug the transceiver cable from the Ethernet transceiver into the standard AUI port on
the Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter.
4
Plug the adapter’s power cord into a power outlet.
5
Plug the connector on the Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter into the Ethernet port on the server.
The Workgroup Server is preset to use the system’s network software
connection for Ethernet. When you start up the server, you can use available
network services immediately.
