To connect the wireless hub to an existing 10BASE-T Ethernet

You can connect the wireless hub to an external Ethernet
transceiver with a standard AUI cable.
2.8 HUB SETUP
Connect the antenna cable to the 25-pin D connector on the
wireless hub rear panel (see Figure 2-7) with the attached captive
screws. Position the wireless hub so that it is accessible to the
wired Ethernet backbone LAN or network segment.
The wireless hub antenna should be positioned above the wireless
hub chassis, on a Þle cabinet, a desktop, or a wall (see Figure 2-9 on
