1463.0. "SMT V6.1 & V7.2 compatible?" by GOYA::JOSEF (Jose Fernandez. ACT Spain) Wed Oct 05 1994 13:53

Hi,

I'm trying to sell two FDDI products (DECconcentrator 900MX & DECFDDIcontroller
/QBUS) which have SMT V7.2. My customer's network has FDDI boxes from Fibronics
with SMT V6.1.

My customer needs to know if both versions of SMT will interoperate without
problems before installing our products. 

I've read one previous note saying that SMT V6.2 and V7.2 are full compatible,
but I haven't seen anything about V6.1.

Can anyone confirm if V6.1 & V7.2 are full compatible as well, please?

Thanks in advance,

Jose

    I can't confirm if SMT v6.1 and v7.2 are compatible, but I would
    suspect that they are.  Interoperability between the two SMT revisions
    was one of the goals of the SMT update.  If no one here can answer, you
    may want to send mail to Ron Pashby ([email protected]).  Ron run's the
    FDDI Interoperability Lab at Univ. of NH where a lot of the SMT
    compatibility testing took place.  I'd also suggest that your customer
    contact Fibronics regarding an SMT code update, they may already have
    one.
