618.0. "DECagent 90/DECbridge 90 Combo module" by CTOAVX::BEAULIEU () Thu Jan 13 1994 15:31

    Hi,
    
    A couple of quick questions...
    
       I have heard about , but not seen a decbridge/decagent  combination 
    module.DH-DENMA-MA (DECbridge 90) or DH-DENMA-FL (DECbridge90 FL). Is this
    one module? (ie one slot, the agent firmware was just incorporated onto the
    bridge module?) Are there any limitations, ie do the same rules that apply 
    for DECagent 90 modules apply to this combination module? Lastly will
    the DEChub 900 agent that is built into the 900 hub ever be able to manage
    "all"  DEChub 90 modules without an DECagent 90? Any info. would help.

    Slow down...  :-)
    
    The V2.0 DENMA firmware (which is, at this writing, fast approaching
    field test) has the ability to manage all modules _in_its_own_hub_
    without a DECbridge.  It is not able to manage a remote hub without a
    bridge in the remote hub (actually, it can manage remote terminal
    servers, but not repeaters - same as V1.1).  It is also not itself a
    bridge.  There is no 'combination' module in development.
    
    See note 519 for management of 90 modules in a 900 hub.  Follow up here
    with any questions.
