Communicating with Devices on an Ethernet
Network
Using This Chapter
Media and Cabling Ethernet is a local area network that provides communication between various
devices at 10 Mbps. The physical communication media you use can be any
standard 802.3 media, including:
• thick-wire coaxial cable (10Base5)
• thin-wire coaxial cable (10Base2)
• twisted pair (10Base-T)
• fiber optic
• broadband
The Ethernet port (channel 2) connects to either a thin-wire, thick-wire, or
twisted-pair network via a 15-pin transceiver or Medium Access Unit (MAU)
connection. See Appendix G for detailed information about Ethernet cable
connections.
