Thinwire for stringing all the units in the string.
In fact when order as stackable units they come with a
short piece of thinwire coax for the intermodule
connection.
If you wish, AUI through the DETAX to a backbone connection.

| -.1 is correct... the thinwire is _always_ used to connect the modules
in the stack together.
The AUI on the DETAX can be used for a backbone connection or any other
purpose you like, but remember that it works ONLY with the DECrepeater
90T-16.

| Sorry for my ignorance, as you have mentioned that DETAX works ONLY with
DECrepeater 90T-16, then if I were to connect the AUI of the DETAX to my
network backbone, what heppen if I need to stack two or more DECrepeater
90T-16 ? Do I link them by using thinwire but I have heard from Digital
that you can't simultaneously using both thinwire and AUI cable.
Please advise.
Thanks

The information on not using the ThinWire and AUI simultaneously
is applicable to the DECrepeater 90TS not the 90T-16. The 90T-16 was
designed to support the AUI to the backbone and ThinWire to the stack
at the same time.

| 3035.5 | 90T16 *AND* 90TS do it don't they? | PTOJJD::DANZAK | Pittsburgher � | Sun Dec 10 1995 08:44 | 22 |
| I thought that the 90-T16 *AND* the 90TS both supported AUI from the
back connections? The 90TS has a current shipping stand-alone variant
that has the AUI on the plastic cover.
So, is it a fair statement to say both the 90TS and 90-T16 support the
AUI stacking unit?
One other thought - the only connects that matter are the MANAGEMENT
BUS connects. As far as Ethernet connectivity - as long as you are on
the LAN, it doesn't matter if it's via the 10-2 or AUI or front etc.
i.e.
-----Fiber-----AUI/Fiber/convert>90T16--
90TS--|<---connect via front
.x
.x<--other modules daisy chained
via thinwire
(the above would do a cheaper fiber connect at the expense of two
repeater ports...)

No, this is incorrect. It really is true that the DETAX AUI stacking
rear cover is only supported with the 90T-16.
While it is true that the 90TS has an available AUI rear cover, this
rear cover is not part of the Multistack system. And no, the 90TS' AUI
rear cover is not supported on the 90T-16.
In summary, both the 90TS and the 90T-16 has its own AUI rear cover
supported only for that module.

| 3035.7 | More on the DETAX ... | SNOFS1::KHOOJEANNIE | Humpty Dumpty was pushed | Mon Dec 11 1995 23:49 | 9 |
|
Given that the AUI only works for the T-16, is it OK to use a DETAX with
any other 90 module for power & management?
(e.g. like any 900 module can use a DEChub ONE-MX)
What happens with the AUI port in HUBwatch?

| 3035.8 | OK Fine | NETCAD::HERTZBERG | History: Love it or Leave it! | Tue Dec 12 1995 09:38 | 2 |
| Yes, it's OK to use the DETAX with any other 90 module for power and
management.
|
| 3035.9 | No 90TS/AUI in DETAX? | PTOJJD::DANZAK | Pittsburgher � | Mon Dec 18 1995 21:32 | 6 |
| You mean that if I use a 90TS in the DETAX with an AUI that the aui
will not work????
R u sure?

| 3035.10 | Haven't we discussed this before in here?? | NETCAD::HERTZBERG | History: Love it or Leave it! | Tue Dec 19 1995 09:36 | 4 |
| I'm sure it's not designed to work that way and is not supported.
I am not sure whether or not it will appear to "work."

| 3035.11 | Not crazy! | NETCAD::HERTZBERG | History: Love it or Leave it! | Tue Dec 19 1995 09:57 | 1 |
| Yes, Marc, this has been discussed before in note 2691.

| 3035.12 | Take some vacation time Marc! :-) | NETCAD::BATTERSBY | | Tue Dec 19 1995 10:59 | 4 |
| Talking to oneself in a notes file is a sure sign of needing
some vacation time.
