3483.0. "Left Hitchcock, 90T-16 ... DECbridge 90s" by NCMAIL::SCHEID () Tue Apr 23 1996 09:52

    
    
    Many customers who long ago invested into the multiple DEChub 90s. The 
    typical configuration was a DEChub 90 with and DECagent 90, managing 
    multiple other DEChub 90s equipped with DECbridge 90s, and tons of 
    90T (8 Port) repeaters. My understanding is that the old 90T - 8 Port 
    repeaters spoke via LH -  Left Hitchcock etc...
    
    Today ... These customers are maxed out and cannot add any additonal 
    repeaters. They would like to simply add a new 90T-16 and have the same
    level of management that they had before. But from what i have seen in
    other notes in this conference ... either the 90T-16 does'nt support
    LH Left Hitchcock or the DEcbridge 90s have a hardware limitation in 
    being able to manage these 90T-16s... 
    
    Could someone please comment on this...

3483.2Left Hitchcock, 90T-16 ... DECbridge 90sCSC32::B_LEWISMon May 06 1996 15:2318
The following is from hub engineering and talks about plans for the Decbridge 90 
to be able to manage a DR90T-16 repeater. I asked if this would ever be possible
and this is the response to the IPMT case.

 In order to manage a DETML (DR90-T16), you would need a management agent
 device. The devices which could be used as a management agent for DETML
 are:  DR90TS V2.0, DR90FS V2.0, DECagent 90 V3.0 or DEChub900 Multiswitch.
 There is no plan to add such "management agent" functionality to DB90 to
 manage the DETML.
