165.0. "No alarms !!!" by ZUR01::SCHNEIDERR () Fri Feb 19 1993 07:01

I installed HUBwatch Beta 4 on DOS and T1.1.8 on VMS. 
Now I have two questions.

1.
I pluged out a TS90 module and waited. both HUBwatch versions didn't show me 
the lost module. on the UI. Is this something that isn't implemented in the Beta
or in the T version or have i done something wrong.

2.
Is there any autotopology function, that is able to show me the right module in
the right slot? Or that detect that a wrong module is in the slot?
I configured our HUBwatches mainly. After I swaped a TS90L in slot 1 with a
TS90L+ in slot 5, but HUBwatch didn't reaslyse it.
Any answers?


Thanks a lot

Roland

btw. HUBwatch is, except some unclear things, realy nice!!! Especialy the
MOTIV UI is done realy nice. I think exact what the market wants today (lots of
graphical UI).

165.1	DECserver90L & DECserver90L+ don't autodiscover.	SLINK::HOOD	Just add water	`Fri Feb 19 1993 12:02`	6
	Neither the DS90L nor the DS90L+ terminal servers are autodiscovered by the DECagent. Because the Agent doesn't know, HUBwatch doesn't know. The DS90L++ is autodiscovered, and will (soon) automatically appear and disappear in HUBwatch if status polling is enabled.
165.2	What modules	ZUR01::SCHNEIDERR		`Thu Feb 25 1993 04:35`	4
	What modules do answer to the polls? (Autodiscover) What modules do autotopology? Roland
165.3	manually added vs auto-added modules	SLINK::HOOD	Just add water	`Thu Feb 25 1993 11:31`	13
	The following modules have to be manually added: * bridges * DECserver90L * DECserver90L+ * DECserver90TL w/1 meg of memory. (Have to be manually added thru HUBwatch with Status Polling disabled.) The following modules autodiscover: * all repeaters (assuming you've got a bridge, and it has HUB_MANAGEMENT enabled) * DECserver90TL with 4 meg * DECserver90M (although not fully supported by HUBwatch yet) * DECserver90L++
165.4	Can't talk abut 90L++	EMDS::SEAVER	Bill Seaver, HUBwatch Mktg	`Fri Feb 26 1993 11:28`	6
	90L++ is not an official product. It is the valued engineered 90L+ currently coming out of manufacturing. We are not calling it a new product because there was no economical way to purge the stock rooms and otherwise differentiate between new and old versions. Thus I would prefer to say that the 90L+ will not be auto-discovered and have some customers be pleasantly surprised when it is.
