The Loopback function can be enabled if the MT-800 is attached to a
network through the Network Port. With Loopback enabled, the traffic
from the segments attached to Port 1-8 will not be allowed to pass to
the larger network attached to the Network Port.

INSTALLING THE MT-800

to a network.
NOTE: A location should be selected before installation procedures
begin. The device must be within reach of the AUI cables that will be
attached to it.
3.3.1
Attaching the MT-800 to a Network
The MT-800 is attached to a network through the Network port on the
rear of the Multiport transceiver. If the MT-800 will be used exclusively
in the stand alone mode, and will not be attached to a larger network,
skip these steps and go to Section 3.3.2, Connecting Devices to the
MT-800.
Attach the MT-800 to a network as follows:
1.
Attach an AUI cable to the AUI port on the network transceiver.
2.
Attach the other end of the AUI cable to the Network Port on the
back of the MT-800.
3.
Check that the LBK switch is in the off (0) position.
