Cable Connections in the Work Area
The Ethernet station can have one of the following two types of network
interface card installed:
■
An AUI network interface card
■
A 10BASE-T network interface card
Using an AUI Network Interface Card
If you are connecting an Ethernet station with an AUI network interface card,
you must use an external 10BASE-T transceiver, such as the SynOptics Model
508B or 928 transceiver.
To connect the station to the premises cabling, follow these steps:
1.
Connect the transceiver to the station.
a. If you are using a Model 508B 10BASE-T transceiver, attach an AUI
cable (for example, a Model 903A cable) from the interface card to the
AUI port of the Model 508B transceiver, as shown in Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2. Connecting an AUI cable to a Model 508B 10BASE-T Transceiver
b. If you are using a SynOptics Model 928 integrated transceiver, attach
the transceiver directly to the interface card (see Figure 3-3).
