The connection to an Ethernet network may be done in two ways:
1.
With the RJ-45 connector, to connect directly a Twisted-Pair (10-Base-T)
Ethernet link.
2.
With the Adapter Unit Interface (AUI) connector, to connect an adapter to a
Thick (10-Base-5), a Thin (10-Base-2) or an Optical Fiber (10-Base-FL)
Ethernet link.

NOTE - The
Multi

LAN Access Center
automatically detects the type of Ether-
net connection used. When both connectors are used, 10-Base-T takes precedence
over AUI. If the 10-Base-T link goes down, the AUI connector will be used
instead, providing backup functionality over AUI.
