Is hubwatch necessary when using only one repeater such as the 90TS
and/or the 90T-16?.
Thanks very much for help.

No, not really. The repeaters will repeat correctly out-of-the-box. But sell lots and lots of HUBwatch's anyway. ;-) | |||||

Hubwatch won't work with a 90T-16 alone. It needs IP services like the
90TS or 900 series stuff. (so don't sell hubwatch to a single 90T-16
customer, unless you want it back 8-)

Good point, Mark. HUBwatch requires an IP agent of some sort. So, if
all you have is a dumb repeater or a 90L+ DECserver, HUBwatch will be
absolutely no help to you. (Except as a justification to buy more hard
disks.)
The point I was making was that for simple vanilla operations of
switches, repeaters, or terminal servers, where you just want to switch
or repeat or connect, these products do those things when you plug them
in.
Do not, under any circumstances, give a customer a 900 hub without
HUBwatch, however. To do even simple backplane LAN management, it's
required.

Of course - we still NEVER tell this to anybody in the documentation!
(i.e. needing HUBwatch for the 900....)
Sigh....it's the little things..
