MAUs are passive, and dont provide anything except electrical resistance and
some relays.
it doesnt signal anything you cant replicate by shorting out contacts with a
paperclip!!

To connect token ring device you have to use a mau. It provides electrical
and signalling functions that cannot be replicated with a cable.

I am using a CAT5 cable to connect my 2502 to my TR MAU without any
problems.
As for doing it without a MAU, I do not know the answer, but would be
interested in it if someone has a good tip.
Hth,
Ole

Hi,
Does anyone know what kind of cable do I need to use to connect my 2 2502
routers to an Andrew mau that has RJ-45 ports? Is there a special pin-out
for building TR cables or will a regular cat-5(straight-thru) cable work?
Also, if I do NOT want to use a MAU, is there a way to fake the TR int. in a
UP/UP state similiar to the # no keepalive command used for E0 interfaces?
Please advise.
Thank you.
