Hello,
On a DETMR (repeater 90-T) one can use
when standalone: 8 UTP ports + 1 thinwire
when in hub90/900: 8 UTP ports + backplane to thin/thick
thin tab on DETMR can not be used. (only due to physical
constraint??)
My customer has his DETMR sitting in a DEChub 1, and uses
8 UTP ports + thinwire on DETMR + AUI Through dechub1 backplane.
To my surprise this works fine. When I apply analogy of DEChub90/900, this is
not a supported config.
Can one comment on this please.
thx

Hello, Just found out that DEChub1 in base note is in fact a 1 element multistack. Does this change the picture? | |||||

Funny, from all we have been hearing, the AUI port on the multistack
unit (DETAX) ONLY works with the 16 port repeater (DETML)!
The DETMR, when inside a HUB90/900, gets its thinwire port re-directed
to the backplane, hence becomes un-available, even if you could get at
it physically, like when there is no module next to it.

| 3421.3 | there's always a logical down to earth explanation for "miracles" | BACHUS::KNEUTS | Erwin Kneuts DTN 856-8726 | Thu Apr 04 1996 08:24 | 15 |
Hello, The "miracle" is solved. 2 different problems/configs were mixed up. 1) Working config The DETAX + 16 port repeater : AUI on DETAX + thin + UTP connected. Works fine and this is expected to work fine 2) Bad config DETAX + 8 port repeater.: repeater does not init correctly. Expected behaviour. not supported. cheers Erwin Kneuts | |||||
