1 ) Power LED. Lights when the MAU has power.

2 ) Module OK LED. Lights when the MAU passes its self-test. If the MAU fails its self-test, the OK LED is off.

3 ) Ring A/B LEDs. In a hub, either the A LED or the B LED is on to show the ring. In a standalone MAU, both Ring LEDs are always off.

4 ) Speed LEDs. Either the 16 LED or the 4 LED is on to show the ring speed.

5 ) Eight Lobe LEDs. Lights when a station has access to the network.

6 ) Eight Lobe Connectors. Connects a station to the network. The MAU connects up to eight stations with shielded or unshielded 100-ohm cable, and 150-ohm IBM Type 1 data cable using an impedence matching transformer cable (Digital part number BN26T-03).

7 ) Reset Switch. Resets the MAU to factory defaults. To reset: while turning on the power, press the reset switch with a pen or screwdriver.

Notes:

The DECmau 900TL has speed detect, which ensures the integrity of the network. At startup, a MAU determines the ring speed based on the speed settings of the majority of the stations on the ring and the Ring Out port. In a hub, the MAU then connects to the appropriate ring in the hub. After startup, speed detect prevents stations with the wrong speed setting from connecting to the net- work.

Network management can override any of the MAU's factory default settings.
