Connecting to other types of Ethernet network

The Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter is a universal adapter that lets you connect
your computer to less common types of industry-standard Ethernet media,
such as thick coaxial or fiber-optic cable. If you are using the Apple Ethernet

type; the transceiver must have a standard AUI port on it.

To connect your computer to an Ethernet transceiver for other types of
Ethernet media, follow these instructions:

1

Shut down your computer.

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