1380.0. "Customer wants to configure DEChub 900 LANs" by STRWRS::KOCH_P (It never hurts to ask...) Tue Sep 06 1994 19:15

    I realize that things take time, but I have a customer who purchased a
    DB900 specifically to create LANs on their DEChub 900. They have
    HUBwatch V2.0 for MS-Windows. Should I be able to do this with V2 or do
    I need to wait for V3.1 of HUBwatch for Windows?

The answer is yes and no.

HUBwatch v2 can be used to create Ethernet LANs.

But, HUBwatch V3 is needed to create FDDI LANs and to manage the 
DECbridge 900MX.  V3.1 will be available soon for Windows.

    re: .1
    
    I'm confused. Are you saying I can with HUBwatch V2 create Ethernet
    LANs with the DECbridge 900? Or in order attach the DECbridge 900 LANs
    to the Backplane LANs I'll need V3.1?

Sorry for the confusion.

No.  Version 2 does not support the DECbridge 900MX at all.  You need version
3 of HUBwatch to do *anything* with any of the 900-series bridges/switches.
All are fully supported in HUBwatch V3.0/V3.1.
