3536.0. "default operation of Portswitch 900TP ?" by CHEFS::BARKER_E (Ummm...) Fri May 17 1996 08:01

    Hi,
    
    	When a Portswitch 900TP is first located in a DEChub, will all
    ports be available on the thinwire channel by default ?  I have a
    customer who isn't running Hubwatch (yet) with a hub 900 plus
    DECrepeater 900TM's and DECbrouters.  We are recommending he moves to
    Portswitches but he needs extra ports before the planned implementation
    of hubwatch/clearvisn, so he will need to plug in the portswitch and
    have it with all ports assigned to the thinwire channel in the
    backplane to operate as he wants.  Is this the default ?
    
    		Thanks,

    Euan,
    
    	All front panel ports of the PORTswitch 900TP will be able to 
        talk over the backplane thinwire by default.
    
    Regards,
    Bob
