2518.0. "Collision detection Packet Probe New Asics" by PRIVAT::OTTO (...this is the last message You will ever hear...) Fri Jul 14 1995 04:40

Hello,

one of our customers is using DECHUB900 and DECrepeater900TM.
He also has a DECPacketProbe90.

This customer is wondering why he sees collosions on the various meters 
when looking at the Repeaters with HUBWATCH, while at the same time the Probe
does show no collisions or much less then on the Repeaters.

I explained to him that the Probe is only able to detect collisions when itself
is involved. (He didn't like it)  (Notes Entry 838)

In the same Notes entry Jack Forrest stated that by summer we will have new
asics that will be phased into the probe that will enable the probe to detect
collisions.

This customer wants to buy two probes more but would make sure that he get the 
newer hardware.


So what can I tell him ??


Thanks


OTTO

2518.1frustrating, but still not availableNAC::FORRESTFri Jul 14 1995 12:487
    The ECO was put on hold until we get new firmware from Frontier that we
    feel can be released. We hope that we will get the final image next 
    week. 
    
    After the ECO has been processed, availability will depend on the
    ongoing order rate - i.e. how long until the older modules on the shelf
    get consumed. We cannot afford to scrap them.

Hi Jack,

thanks for your honest answer.
I will find a manager for the further discussions with this customer.


Bets regards
