When each MAU is individually connected to the STH hub,
only one MAU must be bypassed
to isolate the hub from a beaconing MAU station.
The 8 stations on that MAU still go down,
but the remaining MAUs and their stations stay operational.

When MAUs are daisy-chained,
they are connected as single collective entity.
The entire chain must be bypassed
to isolate the hub from a single beaconing station.
All stations lose connection if beaconing occurs on any station.
