| 1409.1 | No new SM MODPMDs yet! | LEVERS::IANNARONE | | Wed Sep 14 1994 13:41 | 11 |
| Raj,
Unfortunately our vendor for the fiber optics receiver decided to
stop manufacture of the receiver with NO WARNING! As a
result, we've been forced to stop the engineering testing we had
started, and to purchase and test a new receiver from a different vendor.
The new receiver has slightly different specs and will require thorough
testing in the new SM card. This basically means the new SM card will
probably not be available for another couple of months.
Regards,
John Iannarone

| 1409.2 | That's Incredible!!! | JAHMAN::ELLIS | Peter S. Ellis Jr. - MBAd (More & Better Ads!) | Wed Sep 14 1994 23:15 | 9 |
| Let me get this straight: Digital relied on a vendor to produce a
product component WITHOUT securing some minimum order commitment from
the vendor? How did we find ourselves in this position after publishing
(AND SELLING) the capabilities of the concentrator?
I now have a customer ready to order (on exception to their Synoptics
standard) but no product. I'm all ears for suggestions, here folks!

| 1409.3 | Port 1/6 SMFs in DC900mx,possible? | ZPOVC::RAMARAJ | | Thu Sep 15 1994 00:11 | 9 |
| John,
Is it still possible to use the current SMF PMDS for A/B(port 1 and 6)
connections in DC900MX.
I know this will only leave port 3 and 4 left as M ports.

| 1409.4 | Single mode MODPMD blues... | LEVERS::IANNARONE | | Thu Sep 15 1994 14:23 | 27 |
| Raj,
Yes, the current single mode module CAN be put into ports 1 and 6
to provide SM connections to the A and B ports provided ports 2 and 5
are left open to provide a place to put the coiled up fiber pigtails,
as you have correctly alluded to by stating that only ports 3 and 4 are
left to use as M ports.
RE -2:
The receiver we originally planned to use has been used by DEC for
a few years in several other programs, so needless to say, the fact that
the part is not going to be manufactured any longer affects alot more than
just our single mode modpmd. I believe that we have enough parts
in-house to support the existing products for awhile, but all new
designs will start out with new part we're bringing in and existing
designs will phase over to it as needed.
In the meantime you may still be able to use the current single mode
modpmd provided you don't need to put more than 2 in any one
DECconcentrator 900 and you can leave a port adjacent to the single
mode port unoccupied in order to accomodate placement of the fiber
optic pigtails. If you can wait a couple of months, the new SM modpmd
will NOT have these limitations and will be much easier to install
since there won't be any fiber optic pigtails to worry about...
Regards,
John

| 1409.5 | How soon? | CGOS01::DMARLOWE | Have you been HUBbed lately? | Wed Dec 21 1994 20:28 | 5 |
| This note is a few months old and I was wondering if the new SMF
PMD is available?

| 1409.6 | It is on the way | NETCAD::KIRK | tis a gift to be simple | Thu Dec 22 1994 11:25 | 7 |
| Please contact the product manager, Dennis (SCHOOL::) Majikas.
But I will say that it is coming. We have to work some phase-in
plan issues.

| 1409.7 | Thanks | CGOS01::DMARLOWE | Have you been HUBbed lately? | Thu Dec 22 1994 11:30 | 1 |

| 1409.8 | Please answer here | ZUR01::SCHNEIDERR | | Tue Jan 03 1995 09:13 | 8 |
| O.K . now I wrote to Dennis, too. But maybe it would be more easy to write the
answer here, instead everybody has to write to Dennis! We are able to search
for answers in the notes, when they are here. And it would help the
productmanagers and save them from lot of work answering easy questions.
Thanks for the future
Roland
