Power — No external power source is required.

Data Rate — 4 and 16 Mbps. Type 3 cable may be used at 16 Mbps when

media filters are used at the workstation or other attaching device.

Cable — See Section 1.3, Cable Specifications.

Standard — All models meet the IEEE 802.5 Standard.

Connectors — Female RJ-45. These connectors will accept either RJ-45

or RJ-11 male connectors.

Battery (for operation of port-reset feature) — 3V lithium, Duracell 1/2 AA

SE or equivalent. Field-replaceable.

Operating Temperature — 32 to 131°F (0 to 55°C)

Humidity — Up to 95% non-condensing

Weight — 23.25 lb. (1.46 kg)

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.

NITIALIZATION

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 all inactive

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

all inactive station ports will be aligned. Ports with active stations on them will

not be disturbed.
