Speaking of Asante Friendlynet stuff, I've got a
few inline 10Base-2
adapters that I have no information on. Each has 2 BNC and 1 RJ45
connectors on them. I'm guessing these use some sort of special cable on
the RJ45 port to connect to the computer? I found a cable loose in another
box that has an AAUI connector on one end, and an RJ45 plug on the other.
Would this be the type of cable used by them?
That sounds like the Farallon transceivers. They had an AAUI to RJ45
cable, and then a box that plugged into that RJ45 end. The box would then
go to whatever port type you were using.
So yes... that cable should go to the box's RJ45 port (which should be
labled as Computer, with the 10b-2 side labeled as Network... at least
the 10b-T ones I have are labeled that way)
I have always wanted to just plug that AAUI to RJ45 cable into a hub and
see if it works without the box... but I have never been willing to risk
frying something.
