476.0. "Auto-discovery of modules by DA90/DB90?" by WARABI::CHIUANDREW () Tue Nov 09 1993 01:44

    Hi,
    
    Could DECagent90 (v1.1), DECbridge 90 (V3.1) and HUBwatch for VMS V2.0
    'auto-discover' modules mounted in the HUB?
    
    It seems to me that only DECrepeaters (90C/90T) can be discovered when
    after adding DECbridge90 module (via either CCI or HUBwatch) ,but
    not neither DS90L+, DS90L nor DS90TL, is it a limitation or I miss out
    anything?
    
    
    
    Thanks in advance for help!

476.1	Newer modules are autodiscovered	SLINK::HOOD	I'd rather be surfing	`Tue Nov 09 1993 10:30`	17
	The newer modules are autodiscovered. You have to add: DECbridge 90/90FL DECserver 90L/90L+. You do not need to add: DECbrouter 90T1/90T2/90T2a DECserver 90L+ (new version, also called L++ or L+2) DECserver 90M. DECrepeater 90xx You sometimes need to add: DECserver90TL (if 1 meg not running Network Access Server software) Tom Hood HUBwatcher
476.2	Version of newer modules/	WARABI::CHIUANDREW		`Tue Nov 09 1993 17:01`	10
	re .1, Thanks for your quick response, but do you have the version of those newer modules (e.g. DS90L+) that can be auto-discovered? How are I upgrade the DS90L+ (to newew L++ or L+2), is it the same procedure as DECagent90/DECbridge 90 via MOP? Thanks again. Andrew
476.3	Revision B02	NPSS::MULA		`Wed Nov 10 1993 10:59`	11
	The DS90L+(+) autodiscover is included in the DSRVG Revision B02. This functionality requires a hardware change as well as new firmware V5.2. This upgrade cannot be done in the field. Manufacturing currently builds only the B02 revision. In order to guarantee getting the B02 revision you should specify B02 when ordering. The only way to verify that you have the autodiscover version is via the revision B02 and V5.2 firmware.
