Connect the network end of your RJ-45 cable to your transceiver, switch, hub,
repeater, DTE, or other external equipment.

The MII receptacle requires an external transceiver that permits connection to
multimode fiber for 100BASE-FX or 100BASE-T4 physical media. Depending on
the type of media you use between the MII receptacle and your switch or hub, the
network side of your 100-Mbps transceiver should be appropriately equipped with
ST-type connectors (for fiber-optic cables), BNC connectors, and so forth.
Use the following procedure to connect a cable to the MII Ethernet receptacle on
the GRP.
Connect the cable directly to the MII receptacle, or attach a 100BASE-T
transceiver (with the media appropriate to your application) to the MII receptacle.
