3107.0. "DECstack90 problem" by BBIV02::XFMV01::DIVYESH () Thu Dec 28 1995 08:48

Hi,
  I have one customer who is running hub watch 4.1.1 on Hp 486/@66 pc with 8 mb.
  We are having DECSWITCH 900FE,DECrepeater90ts & DECrepeaters90t-16 (7nos).
  DECrepeater90ts & DECreapters90 t-16 are configured in DECstack 90.We are 
  facing a peculiar problem when we try to connect DECstack 90 through hub
  watch.When DECstack 90 is having one agent 90ts and 5 DECrepeater 90T-16
  it takes 1 minute to display the pictorial view of stack on pc.When all
  7 90T-16 along with agent 90TS are connected it takes 23 minutes to give
  pictorial view on pc.Any suggestion to reduce this time lag are welcomed.

 Pc is having following config.sys and autoexec.bat config files,

config.sys  file


DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /testmem:off

HUBwatch requires more memory for hubs/stack with large number of ports.
16 Meg is a more reasonable requirement.

You might also want to read the READ_ME.TXT file that ships with HUBwatch.
It mentions the fact that your FILES and BUFFERS parameters are probably way
too low.
