1250.0. "Questions for the 900FP" by HITEKS::PEER () Mon Jul 25 1994 12:02

    I would like to know if you can set the different ports of the 900FP 
    to a different IMB in the DEChub900. The 900FP is a six port, redundant
    fiber repeater. I would like to be able to set each port to a different
    channel (IMB) in the DEChub900.

    The 900FP is 12 port concentrator wich can be configured as a 6 port
    with redundant links. The 12 ports of the concentrator can beswitched 
    to individual channels in the backplaine by pair of ports.
    So, you can assign the 12 ports to maximum 6 IMB's in the backplane.
    The default config is all ports pointing out the front the front. You can 
    change the config with HUBwatch V3.0 wish is only available on VMS today. 
    The windows version will become available somewhere in September.

    The DECrepeater 900FP is a 12 10BaseFL port Ethernet repeater. *FIXED*
    *PAIRS* of ports can be individually connected to any of 6 backplane
    flex channels.  
    
    The 12 fiber ports can be configured in *ARBITRARILY* assigned pairs to
    operate as the master end of dual redundant link.

>>  The default config is all ports pointing out the front the front. (sic)
    
    This statement is a bit misleading.  All of the repeater's ports ALWAYS
    point out the front. In contrast, DECbridge 900MX's ports can EITHER
    point out the front OR out the back.
    
    The default configuration is all ports in a single configured in a
    single internal lan/group (acting as a single 12 port repeater) but not
    connected to any backplane flex channels. 
    
    See 1131.11 and 1131.13 for more detailed information.
