Hi,
help needed.
My customer need to connect an IBM Station (FDDI Type1 D-Sub 9 connection
available) to our DECconcentrator 500. He has installed an FDDI Copper-Based
Station Card (DEFCN-Sx) in his Concentrator. The Concentrator an the Station
are physicaly located in the same Cabinet. This means there is no IBM Cabling
System between. He likes to build up an one to one cable between the
Concentator and the Station.
So here my question:
Does somebody has the pinout and pin description of the DEFCN-Sx Port Card.
In my documentation are only some Anixter and IBM Cables mentioned, but no
Info about: male, female, connector type, pinout...
Also Anixter isn't able to help me. And I dont like to ask IBM.
Regards

Below is what I already used to connect a DECstation 5000-200
on a DEFCN-SF.
Are you sure the IBM FDDI module is compatible
with our FDDI STP implementation, called "green book" (AMD, Chipcom,
DEC, Motorola and Synoptics specs) ?
I thought they have their own implementation called CDDI
and I've never seen any paper about compatibility between CDDI
and "green book" implementations.
Extract from "Green Book"
. M port (ie: DEFCN-SF module) is a plug (male connector on board)
. S port (ie: DEFZA-CA module) shall be a receptacle (female connector
on board)
