Connecting Communications Cables
Gather the communications equipment and cabling that you will attach to the
ARN. If you do not have the proper cables, contact your network administrator or
see the
Cable Guide
.

Connecting to an Ethernet Interface
You can connect an Ethernet cable to any ARN base or expansion module that
contains an Ethernet interface option.
Note:
For cable interface descriptions, see Appendix C.
Note:
On Ethernet modules that offer two interface types -- an attachment unit
interface (AUI) transceiver interface or a UTP interface -- you can only use one
interface at a time. For example, you can connect to either the AUI transceiver
interface or the 10BASE-T UTP interface on the base module, but you cannot
use both interfaces at the same time.
