This MAU has female RJ-45 shielded lobe connectors. The connectors
labeled Ring In and Ring Out are for attachment to the token ring. The
MAU has sixteen station connectors.
The MAU also has one LED for each terminal port. When a terminal-port
LED is lit, it indicates that the device attached to that port is connected to the
token ring.

16-PORT TYPE 3 MAU
1.1 Lobe-Port Initialization
The station ports can be in an incorrect state for station attachment, and if
they are, the MAU will be inoperable until the ports are reset. Use the Reset
button to reset them.
The Reset button on the front panel is used to align the relays in the station
ports so they are ready for operation. This feature is powered by a replaceable
battery.
To operate the port-reset feature, press the Reset button. When the LED
above the Reset button lights, it indicates that the battery is operable and that
all inactive station ports will be aligned. Ports with active stations on them will
not be disturbed.
1.2 RJ-45 Connectors

16-PORT TYPE 3 MAU
RJ-11 male connectors may be used instead of RJ-45 male connectors on the
twisted-pair cables used in the network. Both types will work in the female
connectors on the MAUs. Whether RJ-45 or RJ-11 male connectors are used,
the transmit and receive pins are always the four center pins in the connector,
as shown in Figure 1-1.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The cable used with your MAUs must have at least two twisted pairs of
wire for data, no matter what cable type is used. This means a minimum
of four separate wires, whether or not you will use all four. The cable
must be wired straight-through, as shown in Figure 1-2. Do not connect
transmit and receive wires in the same twisted pair of wires.
