Media Access Unit

Media Access Unit
IBM MAU 8228

In Token-Ring-Computernetzwerken bildet eine Multistation Access Unit (MAU oder MSAU) einen Ringleitungsverteiler, an den die Stationen angeschlossen werden, also die Schnittstelle auf der Seite des Netzmediums (Kabel) zu den Stationen.

Ist im Token-Ring eine Station nicht angeschlossen, überbrückt eine MAU diese Station, da die Ringstruktur nicht unterbrochen werden darf.

Multistation Access Units sind meistens in die Netzwerkkarten integriert.

In der IBM-Terminologie nennt man diese Ringleitungsverteiler auch Wire-Center.
