Connecting To The Ethernet Port - Xante Accel-a-Writer 812 Manual

Connecting to the Ethernet Port

Two methods can be used to connect to your printer's Ethernet port.
One method uses an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or 10BaseT
connection, and the other uses thin coaxial cable (10Base2)
connection.
Both methods require an external transceiver which is available from
most computer stores or mail-order warehouses. The transceiver
should have an Apple AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) connector on
one end and either an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP or 10BaseT)
cable or a thin coaxial connection (ThinNet, CheaperNet, or
10Base2) on the other end. Figure 2.21 illustrates an example of both
a 10Base2 and a 10BaseT transceiver; however, designs vary slightly
among transceiver brands.
