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.
