a group of anti-British insurgents in Kenya, who were noted in Europe for their (alleged) extreme violence and brutality
clandestine organization prominent in the uprising against British rule in Kenya
a secret political organization which was started in Kenya in 1952 by the Kikuyu people, and which wanted Kenya to become independent from the UK. It used violence against Europeans whom it wanted to leave Kenya and against Africans who supported the British. Militant Kikuyu-led nationalist movement of the 1950s in Kenya. The Mau Mau (the name's origin is uncertain) advocated violent resistance to British domination in Kenya. In response to actions by Mau Mau rebels, the British Kenya government banned the movement in 1950 and launched a series of military operations between 1952 and 1956. Some 11,000 Kikuyu, 100 Europeans, and 2,000 African loyalists were killed in the fighting; another 20,000 Kikuyu were put into detention camps. Despite their losses, Kikuyu resistance spearheaded the independence movement, and Jomo Kenyatta, jailed as a Mau Mau leader in 1953, became prime minister of independent Kenya in 1963. In 2003 the ban on the Mau Mau was lifted
Medium Attachment Unit The MAU provides the physical and electrical interface between an Ethernet device and the medium system to which it is connected Also referred to as a transceiver
Medium Attachment Unit This is a small device used as a transceiver between a Thinwire network cable and an AUI cable or a Thickwire cable and an AUI cable It consists of the physical adapter as well as the circuitry needed to convert signals from one medium to the other
Device used in Ethernet and IEEE 802 3 networks that provides the interface between the AUI port of a station and the common medium of the Ethernet The MAU, which can be built into a station or can be a separate device, performs physical layer functions including conversion of the digital data from the Ethernet interface, collision detection, and injection of bits onto the network
1) Multi-station Access Unit in reference to Token Ring 2) Medium Attachment Unit in reference to Ethernet A wiring concentrator used in Local Area Networks A device that allows terminals, PCs, printers, and other devices to be connected in a star-based configuration to Token Ring or Ethernet LANs MAU hardware can be either active or passive and is not considered to be part of the cabling infrastructure
In token ring, a hub which interconnects the devices connected to the ring, and in turn connects to other MAUs through Ring-In / Ring-Out connections Generally, a MAU is not managed via software
Medium Attachment Unit That part of an Ethernet interface which provides the actual connection to the Ethernet cable With 10Base5 Ethernet the MAU is connected to the Ethernet cable and linked by an AUI cable to the computer's interface In all other cases the Ethernet cable is brought right up to the computer, and the MAU is usually incorporated into the computer's Ethernet card
Media Adaptor Unit - an IEEE 802 3 or Ethernet device which attaches a station to the cable Popularly called a "transceiver" Can be attached by cable to the station or built into the station (2)
A transceiver (transmitter/receiver) comprising hardware circuitry that provides the correct electrical or optical connection between the computer and IEEE 802 3 LAN media Since MAUs typically support only one type of network medium, a choice of MAUs is available to support different media It detects carrier and collision activity, passing the information to the Computer It can be a standalone unit or incorporated in a circuit board inside the computer
The Medium Attachment Unit adapts the AUI port on a station to the LAN Medium, such as 10Base2, 10Base5 or Ethernet fiber optic cable MAU adapters are commercially available
