262.0. "DECconnect FDDI and STP config." by CGOS01::DMARLOWE (PDP 11: MOV -(PC),-(PC)) Thu May 23 1991 13:11

Is the configuration below correct as to using FDDI STP from an SER to the 
desk top?
                           100M maximum

] == DB 9 connectors

This would mean 4 DB 9 connectors from the concentrator to the controller 
in the 100M span.

Thanks in advance.

    Yes. However, the intermediate connections ([|]) would typically 
    use the IBM Token Ring connector, rather than a DB9. This hybrid cable
    will be part of the product announcement.

    Typically use the IBM connector but sometimes not??  Will we support
    both or just one?  I was wondering, as I understand it now we may
    be seeing DB9 but what do I know. 8^)
    
    Could someone send mail on the product announcement and connector
    specifics?  

    Thanks.
