10BASE2 and AUI Connections

If the slide-in BNC/AUI Extender Switch Module is present, then
there are options for connecting to legacy 10 Mbps segments.
The toggle switch on the module's front panel selects either the
BNC or AUI port.
The BNC connector provides a connection to 10BASE2 thin coax.
Attach the BNC T-connector to the BNC port, then connect one
side of the T-connector to a length of thin coax cable. The other
side of the T-connector should be connected to another length of
thin coax or a 50-ohm BNC terminator.
A thin coax segment can be up to 185 meters (607 feet) in length
and support up to 30 devices. Devices must be a minimum of 0.5
meters (2 feet) apart and the segment must be terminated at both
ends by a 50-ohm BNC terminator.
The AUI port can support connections to 10BASE5 thick coax, 10
Mbps fiber, or other 10 Mbps media via an appropriate
transceiver. Attach one end of a drop cable, maximum length 50
meters (165 feet), to the AUI port and the other end to the
transceiver.
