Yeah, it seems to be operating well in that regard. :^>

Sorry, let me explain the device.
It's a parallel port unit (obviously) with (4) LEDs, for power, TX/RX,
UTP/LINK, and COAX. There are 10Base2 and 10BaseT interfaces at the end,
with a selector switch to toggle between the two on the side of the unit.
I'm on a 10Base2 network, and the device is setup accordingly.
The accton homepage (http://www.accton.com/) has more info, and pictures.
Do a search for 'EN2209'
