8 on W104 on the MCP printed circuit board (see Ap-
pendix E). If the last unit on the network is an RHU,
short the same pins on W104 on that RHU. However, if
the last unit is an RDU, short pins 1 to 2 and 3 to 4 on
W1 of that RDU (see Appendix E). Refer to Figures 7-
2 and 7-3 for the location of shorting links W104 on the
MCP and RHU respectively and Figure 7-4 for the lo-
