- | The A2065 only has BNC (coaxial 10Base2) and an DB15 (AUI) ports. If you buy an AUI Transceiver and plug it into the AUI port, you can have RJ45 connectivity. Ardiane, being four years newer, has RJ45 on board making it easier to plug in into modern networks. Modern switches might however have issues with either board negotiating the port speed to old 10Mbps. If you have issues, you might need to set the switch ports manually or use an older 10/100Mbps hub or switch in-between. | + | The A2065 only has a BNC (coaxial 10Base2) and an DB15 (AUI) ports.

If you're into vintage networking you can also go ahead and build your own coaxial 10Base2 network! Old 10BaseT (RJ45) hubs often have an uplink port with BNC (coaxial), or you can buy media converter for BNC-to-RJ45 conversion. Old ethernet gear is usually readily available on eBay (but not always cheap). | If you're into vintage networking you can also go ahead and build your own coaxial 10Base2 network!
