1256.0. "problem with concentrator 900 MX backplane ports ??" by GIDDAY::KING (..and then there were two..) Thu Jul 28 1994 12:36

    Hi There
    I have a customer with a decconcentrator 900 MX ( firmware 1.1 )
    attempting to configure a ring using the dechub900 "backplane"
    He is using hubwatch for VMS 3.0.0
    when he selects the configuration option on the concentrator
    he has no building blocks appear ( fddi point <- lan interconnection )
    so he cannot set up ports 7 ( or 8 ).
    Is this a firmware problem ??
    he has a bridge900 mx which he can set o.k. 
    I have not seen hubwatch talking to a 900 hub so am working in the
    dark here !!
    I read note 651 - and assume customer is tryin to configure
    dual ring ...

      Hello tom,
    
       yes ,it,s a firmware problem , upgrade to V2.0 using Decnduplus
       and you could put your fddi ports  anywhere..
