Connect to a Network Using the AUI Port The AUI port on the rear panel (found only on the Model EN108 hub and the Model EN116 hub) is normally used for connecting a thick coaxial segment. With the right type of transceiver, you can use the AUI port to connect to most types of network media, including 10BASE-T twisted pair cable or thin coaxial, thick coaxial, and 10BASE-FL fiber optic cables. Note: All transceivers connected to the AUI port must have the signal quality error (SQE) test function disabled. Refer to your transceiver documentation for information about disabling the SQE test function.
