2134.0. "An Easy Question About DECcocentrator900MX/DEFPA wiring" by 50239::VSEMUSCHIN (Seva@COO, the Recycled Employee) Mon Sep 09 1996 11:20

    Sorry, I'm not the network specialist, 
    this question can be too trivial, but I have no other possibility
    to get the answer ...

    More valuable help would be pointer to Ps copies of EC-K0750-42 (A
    Primer to FDDI) and EK-A0597-MI (FDDI Media Connection Information)

	Leave the "A" and "B" ports on the concentrator un-connected. Cable the DEFPA's to the concentrator with a single cable (Your references to ABAB is not correct on DEFPA. They actually have dual Rx/Tx pairs-- not Dual A/B pairs.) DEFPA has SC connectors, 900MX has MIC. That means BN34D is the correct cable to use between DEFPA and any port on the 900MX. Mark
