778.0. "FDDI analyzer, L.P.O. ANSI compatibility" by ATHINA::MOUZAKIS_D () Mon Nov 09 1992 03:42

Hello

I am currently working on the delivery of a campus FDDI network in Greece and I
have two problems to solve:

1. We use DEC concentrator 500 with DEFCN-LA cards. Are these cards ANSI
 compatible? Are we going to have interoperability problems with other vendors
 FDDI communication equipement?

2.I want to test and troubleshoot the network down to the fiber. I believe I
 need a data & protocol analyzer, I already know Sniffer from Network General. 
 Are there other products-except HP's- that can help me in this job? do we have
 a DEC product for these purpose (a DECmcc module propably)?

Any help will be valuable.
Thanks in advance

    1. Yes, they're ANSI-compatible.
    
    2. Some development groups have purchased Tekelec's ChameLAN. The
    Digital Services organization has standardized on Wandel & Goltermann's
    DA-30.
