Plug the connector on the transceiver into the AAUI Ethernet port on your Macintosh.

A thin coaxial network must be terminated at the endpoints to function. An
Apple transceiver is self-terminating. A non-Apple transceiver may require a
terminator; check the documentation that came with the transceiver.

Next, see “Configuring Your Network Connection” later in this chapter for
information on configuring your network connection.

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.
