2968.0. "90FS/90FA ports active?" by KAOFS::R_YURKIW (reward those who bring bad news!!) Fri Nov 10 1995 08:27

    This may be a very basic question but I can't find it documented. 
    
    Simply put.. on repeaters such as the decrepeater 90FS or 90FA, are
    both the fibre and AUI ports active simultaneouly or can you use only
    one of them in a network. 
    
    
    
    regards

2968.1	One answer anyway...	NETCAD::HERTZBERG	History: Love it or Leave it!	`Fri Nov 10 1995 12:38`	2
	I can tell you for sure that all ports are active simultaneously on the 90FS.
2968.2	and here's the second answer:	VAXRIO::ROLF	Vaporware Design Specialist	`Mon Nov 13 1995 08:48`	3
	same for the 90FA; all 3 ports active at once.
2968.3	thanks for the replies	KAOFS::R_YURKIW	reward those who bring bad news!!	`Mon Nov 13 1995 13:01`	1

2968.4	Are we DOCUMENTING it?	PTOJJD::DANZAK	Pittsburgher �	`Thu Nov 16 1995 07:50`	3
	ANy plans to document this? Folks get it confused with the DECbridge 90 and, as a result, don't sell that capability! j
2968.5	good point	KAOFS::R_YURKIW	reward those who bring bad news!!	`Thu Nov 16 1995 09:23`	9
	re: .4 This is a good point and exactly why I asked the question in the first place. I looked in several manuals referencing the dechub products and it did NOT mention this capability anywhere. I may be intuitively obvious however I did not want to make a wrong assumption without asking first. Roger
