2072.0. "DEChub 90 View" by DPDMAI::DAVIES (Mark, SCA Area Network Consultant) Tue Mar 07 1995 09:20

    The HUBwatch V4.0 Sales Update mentions that with the included
    DECrepeater 90TS and 90FS firmware upgrade, a DECagent 90 is not
    rquired to manage older DECrepeaters.
    
    It is safe to assume that this means that to get the "DEChub 90 view"
    when using HUBwatch V4.0, all that is required in the hub is either a
    DECrepeater 90TS or 90FS?
    
    Thanks,

2072.1That's rightNETCAD::FORINOWed Mar 08 1995 09:1110
    Yes - that is pretty much it.  The DECrepeater 90TS and 90FS can act
    as agents for other repeaters (AND OTHER REPEATERS ONLY).  So you can 
    slap one of these into a DEChub90 instead of a DECagent 90 to manage
    the repeaters.  By not having to dedicate a slot to the DECagent 90 you
    gain an extra slot of repeaters ports on the hub.  
    
    Again note that if you have nonrepeaters in the hub these devices
    cannot be used as agents for them.

    Just as a follow up this support will show up in HUBwatch V4.1 which
    will coincide with the release of the DETMI/DEFMI firmware that
    contains this functionality.
