487.0. "How to test concentrator with DEMFA module" by SKIVT::INGRAM () Wed Feb 26 1992 15:20

    Hello,
    
    	I am looking for information on how to test the concentrator 500
    with a module and cables.  Basically, we have an order on a VAX 9000
    for a DEMFA option.  We wanted to hook the module to the concentrator
    and use loopbacks to test the set up.  Unfortunately, we are getting an 
    error because VMS does not have the concentrator address.  Do we need
    to build some sort of bridge and hook up another VAX 9000?  Help
    please!

Use NCP to find out the Upstream Neighbor address on the MFA, then use
NCP LOOP CIRCUIT to that address.  That should help.  Alternatively, you
can go to the concentrator, transcribe the address from the label on the
A/B port board, and use that in the LOOP CIRCUIT command.
