2. Introduction

2.1 Description

The AUI to BNC Transceiver lets you
connect an Ethernet device (such as a LAN
card installed in a PC, or a bridge, router,
hub, or repeater) to thin Ethernet coaxial
cable. It connects either directly to the AUI
port on the Ethernet device or via a
standard AUI cable. The transceiver
complies with IEEE 802.3 transceiver
specifications.

2.2 What the Package Includes

Your package should include the following
items:

• (1) AUI to BNC Transceiver
