Ethernet Connection Requirements
The MicroRouter 900i’s Ethernet port directly supports thick, thin and
10BaseT twisted-pair Ethernet. Switching among the three ports is
automatic – simply plug the proper Ethernet connector into its port.
Other Ethernet cabling types (such as fiber optic cabling or
pre-10BaseT twisted-pair) can be supported using adapters which
connect to a thick Ethernet port.
