Two DECstack config questions:
1.) Can I use ANY Ethernet means to connect to a stacked module? i.e.
could I STAR out from a repeater to the floor above/below to
connect? Some customers have 10-T wiring and may not care about
an in-closet stack but to run thinwire between floors...uugh.
So, can I use a 10-T to connect? (Yes, I understand repeater
rules apply etc..)
2.) What is the distance limit for the management bus? How far
can I go with a point-to-point connection?
Note that NEITHER of these are called out in the product install guide.

| 2741.1 | 185 meters for management bus | NETCAD::FORINO | Wed Sep 13 1995 11:38 | 5 | |
To answer question 2 the management bus limit is 185 meters. I do not
believe that there is an minimum/maximum cable length between two stack
modules within the 185 meters.

From the Digital MultiStack System Stacking Unit Installation and
Configuration manual;
"The total length of the management channel for the stack may not
exceed 420 meters."
