I have a question about the DECconcentrator 500 and hope someone has a
quick answer. Can you place both the fiber module (4 port module) and
the copper module (6 port BNC) both together in the same concentrator
at the same time with no ill effects?

| 845.1 | yes, mix those "m" port cards | ABACUS::FUBAR2::LAVERDURE | RON LAVERDURE | Tue Feb 02 1993 09:44 | 18 |
yes you can mix the different "m" port cards in the same concentrator box. if you have a standalone concentrator box without management card, you can mix 3 different mediums in the decconcentrator box such as multimode fiber card in slot 1 twisted pair copper card in slot 2 thinwire coax copper card in slot 3 If you have a interconnected concentrator box you lose the first slot to the management card and you can still mix mediums in the two remaining slots such as twisted pair copper in slot 2 low power optics in slot 3 The above medium selections were random , no significance in the choices.

just make sure your microcode is at 3.0 or later. 2.x will not work
with the copper modules.
