A fitting called a BNC "T" for the ThinMAU or a
lap
for the ThickMAU,
pierces the coaxial cable and provides a connection from the cable to the
Medium Attachment Unit (MAU). An Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) cable
connects the MAU to the LAN Interface Controller (LANIC). The LANIC,
besides controlling the other LAN elements, also is the interface with the Local
Area Network to the computer system. A typical Local Area Network is shown
in Figure 1-1.
