You need an "MII-rj45 fast ethernet transceiver", a UTP straight-thru cable to connect to another router or a UTP cross-over cable to connect to a switch. >theres no reason to convert it to rj45. Yes, you need to convert it to rj45 if you got an old I/O-MII which doesnot have an rj45 interface as the others. >but usually you'd put an optical interface there. MII: media independent interface, It makes you can use either copper or fiber. >what I'd like someone to answer is what the distinction between a mii and the older aui? MII supports FastEthernet , AUI doesnot. AUI supports Ethernet (10Base) only.
