150.0. "DEC FTSIE for ULTRIX questions" by COPCLU::GREG (Greg Parker @DMO, DEC Denmark, DTN 857-2454) Mon Nov 02 1992 14:09

        
        Hello,
        
        I have a few FTSIE for ULTRIX questions...
        
        FTSIE will hopefully be used to transfer files between a 
        SIEMENS system running BS2000 v9.5, FT-BS2000 v3.0 (v4.0b 
        is available), DCAM v9.9, and a 9632 Ethernet controller, 
        to a new DEC/ULTRIX system, over the Ethernet. We are 
        replacing the SIEMENS system, but need coexistence for a 
        period.
        
        Question 1:
        
        Is the XTI and OSI Transport for ULTRIX required, or can 
        it be replaced by DECnet/OSI for ULTRIX?
        
        Question 2:
        
        Does the customer need to buy additional SIEMENS products 
        in order to have the required components on the SIEMENS 
        system.
        
        Question 3:
        
        Where can I obtain prices for the FTSIE products (not in 
        danish price book)?
        
        Question 4:
        
        How much time should we allocate for installation?
        
        Question 5:
        
        How should we service the product here in Denmark.
        
        Best regards
        Greg Parker, Network Sales Support/Denmark

	Hi Greg, > Question 1: > Is the XTI and OSI Transport for ULTRIX required, or can > it be replaced by DECnet/OSI for ULTRIX? DEC FTSIE was initially planned to support DECnet/OSI for Ultrix V5.0. However as V5.0 only supported LAN's the decison was made to provide an interim solution based on OSIXTI and X.25 Access for Ultrix product set. A DEC FTSIE for OpenVMS V2.0 is planned for Q2 93 which will replace V1.0 and will make DECnet/OSI for Ultrix V5.1 a pre-requisite. > Question 2: > Does the customer need to buy additional SIEMENS products > in order to have the required components on the SIEMENS > system.

This is basically a local issue, but again something that you should raise with Ulrike Goetz. If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask. regards John

Hi Greg,

>        it be replaced by DECnet/OSI for ULTRIX?

DEC FTSIE was initially planned to support DECnet/OSI for Ultrix V5.0. 
However as V5.0 only supported LAN's the decison was made to provide an 
interim solution based on OSIXTI and X.25 Access for Ultrix product set.

A DEC FTSIE for OpenVMS V2.0 is planned for Q2 93 which will replace V1.0
and will make DECnet/OSI for Ultrix V5.1 a pre-requisite.

No. Basically the DEC FTSIE product set emulate the FT-BS2000/FT-Sinix
protocol stack.

Please ask Ulrike Goetz @UFT (she still is/[used to be] the product manager)

        
>        Question 4:

We always tend to sell 2 days consultancy and installation service when we sell
FTSIE. The answer depends on the configuration.

This is basically a local issue, but again something that you should raise with 
Ulrike Goetz. 

        
If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.
