>> - What is the part number for DEChub 900 power supplies ?
The power supply part number is H7890-MA. The hub ships with 1
supply, and additional ones can be ordered as needed. I understand
that the description that comes up on the system does not make it
clear that the hub includes the power supply, and as soon as I
figure out what is showing up, I'll send in a change to the
description.

The new repeaters will make use of the IRB so that going in a new
module and out another one will only count as 1 hop. However, if
you have older 90 modules in the hub, they do not make use of the
IRB so you would get 2 hops. I.e. if you come in a DETMM and go
out a DETMM, you count 1 hop. If you come in a DETMM and go out a
DETMR, you count 2 hops.

| 442.2 | Hop count depends on connection type | CHUNK::SLAWRENCE | | Tue Oct 19 1993 15:44 | 11 |
| Note that it only counts as one hop if you are using a flexible channel
connection between the two repeaters; if you are using the Thinwire
backplane segment (which is the default), then it counts as two - just
as in the DEChub 90.
On hubwatch, the Ethernet segments you can create and delete are the
flexible channel connections; the one that exists by default (always
the top one, segment 1) is the Thinwire.
As the previous reply noted, the existing 90 repeaters only use the
Thinwire.

| 442.3 | DEChub 900: Detailed Config docs, please; Where ? When ? | HGOVC::GUPTA | | Wed Oct 20 1993 03:16 | 18 |
| Ref .1, .2:
Where do I find the detailed documents which can help me in
configuring DEChub 900 modules ? When will these docs be available ?
The directory TNPUBS::$1$DUA25:[PUBLIC.ONEHUB] have very brief
documents and that too for only a few of the DEChub 900 modules.
The DEChub 900 and its modules are more complicated products designed
to solve more complicated problems. And hence, we will need much more
detailed configuration documents (much more than, say DEChub 90
manuals).

Surender
.PS: Is there a place where I can find the list of DEChub 900 modules
(available and planned) ?

| The installation section of the HUBwatch doc set describes in detail how
to configure the DEChub 900 modules.

| 442.5 | current products are listed in the catalog | DELNI::GIUNTA | | Wed Oct 20 1993 14:24 | 14 |
| There is a nice catalog of Networking Products (EC-M6176-42) which lists all
the current products for the 90 and 900 plus their prices. I have a couple of
lists of the products from when we did the pricing and announcement submission,
but that's a fairly extensive document. I haven't done a list of all the
planned stuff as I only keep track of my own repeaters, and I wouldn't really
want to publish something listing futures given that those sorts of plans are
always changing, and it's tough to keep the information accurate and useful.
I think you'll get most of what you need by using the PID which I understand
is going in for a major revision sometime in November. Otherwise, ask here or
send me some mail, and I'll try to point you in the right direction.

Cathy
