1602 has a AUI Ethernet port and a 10baseT port and a 56k CSU/DSU.

Is not AUI port for modem?
Does it mean I can use eighter the AUI or 10baseT, but not both to connect to the LAN? Then this router cannot utilize
modem?

I am confuse?
 
I see why you are confused.
You can only connect to the local ethernet with either the rj45 or the aui interface. Not both. Depending on the software, the router will default to one of the connectors, and so you may have to specify which connector to use in the config. (It probably will default to the rj45 ethernet port.)


The description for the serial interface on the cisco web is:"Connects the router to 56-kbps and dataphone digital service (DDS) through an integrated 56-kbps DSU/CSU."

I guess this interface can then be used to connect to some form of isdn network or simular. Seems to be an american standard, so I don't know much about it.

Hope this helped you a bit at least.

Use the media type command in int E0 to specify
either the AUI or RJ45 port.
This doesn't affect the other ports, just gives you
a choice of Eth. cable types...
 
The 56K port is DIGITAL whereas a normal phone line is ANALOG. Don't try plugging one in, you may damage something.
