===Two modes of operation=== In ''normal mode'', the MAU functions as a direct connection between the baseband medium and the [[data terminal equipment]] (DTE), enabling message traffic between stations. Data output from the DTE is output to the coaxial trunk medium and all data on the coaxial trunk medium is input to the DTE. In ''monitor mode'' or ''isolated mode'', the MAU functions as a receive-only connection between the baseband medium and the DTE. Data output from the DTE is suppressed and only data on the coaxial trunk medium is input to the DTE. This mode is for observing message traffic.
