B)multistation access units
C)station access units
D)access units

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Token-ring networks are connected using Multistation Access Units (MAUs). MAUs are used to amplify and transmit signals between the stations on the ring. Although the logical topology of a token-ring network is a ring, physically it is commonly implemented as a star topology with each station connecting to a MAU. Media Access Units (MAUs) are also called concentrators or hubs. Station Access Units (SAUs) and Access Units (AUs) are not used in token-ring networks.
