Preparing Network Connections
Transceivers are available from a variety of sources for thick-wire (10Base5), thin-wire (10Base2),
or unshielded twisted-pair cabling (10BaseT at 10 Mbps); Figure 2-15 shows examples of
transceivers and connection equipment. You can connect either Ethernet Version 1 or
Version 2/IEEE 802.3 interfaces; the EIP automatically supports both types.
Some 10BaseT transceivers can connect directly to the AUI port on the EIP. When planning your
connections, consider the types and locations of connectors on adjacent interface processors to avoid
having the transceiver overlap and impair access to other connections.
