Hi,
Is it possible to connect a DECconcentrator 900MX to
an other one using TP-PMD daughter board ?
If yes, is it supported by the current version of DECconcentrator 900MX
firmware (v.2.0) ?
Best regards

Sure, you can do that. But why do you want to? Are the concs in the
same DECHub 900 backplane? If so, connect them via the matrix backplane
(i guess we market this as 'flex-channel', or some damned thing. Or is
that one of our competitors?).
TP-PMD ports are not restricted to their port types. They can be any
kind of port you like. Just remember that the MF connector itself is
not keyed like the MIC connectors are (A,B,M,S). Confusion can rule if
the installer is not CAREFUL about what ports are connected to what.

| 1411.2 | no F.O. but Cat 5 TP already there. | PRSSOS::GROSSETETE | Wed Jul 27 1994 05:00 | 13 | |
Bill,
Thanks for the answer.
Our customer wants to do that because a F.O. Dual Ring is
already installed, going through the satellite equipment room
but not through this small computer room. As there is already cat. 5
T.P. cables installed between the SER and this Computer Room,
he would like to use it, so he won't need to install new F.O.
cables.
Best regards
Patrick
