The Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) is a physical and logical interface defined in the IEEE 802.3 standard for 10BASE5 Ethernet [1] and the earlier DIX standard. The physical interface consists of a 15-pin D-subminiature connector that links an Ethernet node's physical signaling to the Medium Attachment Unit (MAU), [ 2 ] sometimes referred to ...
Reduced Pin eXtended Attachment Unit Interface (RXAUI) is a proprietary modification created by Marvell [2] and Dune Networks [3] (later acquired by Broadcom [4]) aimed to increase the port density by decreasing the interface pin count. The four lanes of the standard XAUI running at 3.125 Gbit/s are replaced by two lanes at 6.25 Gbit/s.
The vampire tap usually had an integrated AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) in the form of a DA-15 connector, from which a short multicore cable connected to the network card in the station (host computer). Vampire taps allowed new connections to be made on a given physical cable while the cable was in use.
A Medium Attachment Unit (MAU) is a transceiver which converts signals on an Ethernet cable to and from Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) signals. On original 10BASE5 (thicknet) Ethernet equipment, the MAU was typically clamped to the Ethernet wire via a vampire tap and connected by a multi-wire cable to the computer via a DA-15 port, which was ...
Ethernet over twisted pair also defines a medium-dependent interface – crossover (MDI-X) interface. Auto–MDI-X ports on newer network interfaces detect if the connection would require a crossover and automatically choose the MDI or MDI-X configuration to complement the other end of the link.
Ethernet II frame, or Ethernet Version 2, [g] or DIX frame is the most common type in use today, as it is often used directly by the Internet Protocol. Novell raw IEEE 802.3 non-standard variation frame; IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) frame; IEEE 802.2 Subnetwork Access Protocol (SNAP) frame
AAUI signals have the same description, function, and electrical requirements as the Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) signals of the same name, as detailed in IEEE 802.3-1990 CSMA/CD Standard, section 7, [4] with the exception that most hosts provide only 5 volts of power rather than the 12 volts required for most AUI transceivers.
