HUBwatch ver 1.0 Problem with DE-204 card, WINDOWS ver 3.1, PATHWORKS ver 4.2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are planning to Install HUBWATCH on a TCP/IP environment on Pathworks using
a DE-204 card, but have not been successful so far.
Can some HUBWATCH/PATHWORKS/TCP-IP experts out there help us with their suggest-
ions and ideas please?
HERE ARE THE DETAILS:
--------------------
The Site contains 4 nos of DEC 900TM (32 port Twisted Pair Repeater) interconn-
ected on a thickwire backbone. There are 2 DEMPRs (Thinwire Multiport Repeater)
on the Thickwire Backbone. One Thinwire Segment of the DEMPR has been used
EXCLUSIVELY for connecting the below said HUBwatch Station.
1. SYSTEM : DEC 486 system
2. WINDOWS : MS-WINDOWS version 3.1
3. PATHWORKS : DEC Pathworks for Ultrix Version 1.1a
DEC Pathworks for DOS version 4.2
4. DOS : DOS version 6.00
5. ETHERNET CARD : DE-204 (DEC EtherWORKS-III card)
OBSERVATIONS :
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The network runs on TCP/IP protocol. Pathworks for TCP-IP/ULTRIX works and sets
hosts to the servers withount any problems using the DE-204 card and drivers.
When we modify the config.sys and autoexec.bat files to suit the HUBwatch and
reboot the system, we observe the following message being displayed while
booting:
ERROR "PACKET DRIVER IS AT SEGMENT 074B"
we modified the config.sys file to load the packet driver to D000-DFFF and for
this we got the message :
ERROR " PACKET DRIVER IS AT SEGMENT 0933"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
we need to know whether Hubwatch is supported on the above said MS-Windows, DOS
and Pathworks versions?
We need to know whether the above said HUBwatch software supports TCP/IP ?
We need to know whether Pathworks and HUBwatch can co-exist or do they need
seperate Ethernet cards ?
Does HUBwatch support the DE-204 card?
Thanks in advance....

Do you really mean HUBwatch V1.0? If so, that won't support your 32 port repeaters. You need V2.0 at least. Tom Hood HUBwatch | |||||
| 1109.2 | Further clarification on Note 1109.0 | XKOV01::RAJESHPRABHU | Wed Jun 15 1994 01:07 | 24 | |
Hello, Thanks for the information. But let me clarify the situation properly. My DEC 486 system contains only HUBwatch on windows. This is the configuration that I need. ONLY TO TEST THE PHYSICAL AND LOGICAL CONNECTIONS, WE TRIED LOADING PATHWORKS ON THIS SYSTEM AND CONNECTED TO THE ULTRIX/NOVELL SERVERS. So, I will ask the question again in continuation of 1109.0 : Can HUBwatch ver 1.0 work on TCP/IP environment ? Can HUBwatch ver 1.0 work with MS-Windows ver 3.1? Can HUBwatch ver 1.0 manage and control DECrepeater 900TM ? Can HUBwatch ver 1.0 be installed on a DE204 card? With respect to these above questions, please answer the questions raised in the the notes number 1109.0 Thanks in advance and expecting a lot of interaction/views/information!!! Cheers!

Well, I'll answer the one I know - >> Can HUBwatch ver 1.0 manage and control DECrepeater 900TM? No. You would need HUBwatch V2.0 (either Windows or OpenVMS) to manage a DECrepeater 900TM. This module didn't even exist when HUBwatch V1.0 was developed. Karen HUBwatch development | |||||
