Connecting to other types of Ethernet networks

The Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter is a universal adapter that lets you connect
your Macintosh 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; the transceiver must have a standard AUI port on it.

To connect your Macintosh to an Ethernet transceiver for other types of
Ethernet media:

1

Shut down your Macintosh.

2

Connect the Ethernet transceiver to the network following the instructions that came

with the transceiver.

3

Plug the transceiver cable from the Ethernet transceiver into the standard AUI port on

the Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter.
