1014.0. "Mix DEFCN-NA and DEFCN-HA ??" by GIDDAY::STANISLAUS () Tue Jul 06 1993 08:38

    
    	Are we allowed to mix DEFCN-NA (4 port card) and DEFCN-HA (6 port
    card) in the same DEcconcentrator 500. I have two DECconcentrators and
    each have one DEFCN-NA. I plan to instal one DECCN-HF in each unit.
    
    	-HA says factory installed and -HF says field installed. What
    really is the difference between factory installed and field installed?
    
    Does the 'dash' number change just for putting the board in, at the
    factory ?

    Yes. This is a perfectly valid configuration, provided firmware version
    3.2 is installed.

    Place of installation is the only difference. Otherwise, they are
    identical.
