Did you take a look at the Maya plugin docs?
You can either:
"Bump connections are also translated. We take the "bump strength" value from the "bump depth" attribute of bump2d nodes and we support normal mapping in the Maya versions where it is implemented (from 7.0 and up)."
OR
"Custom shader node that exposes all the attributes that you can edit in Maxwell's Material Editor."
