3878.3Ask for Part numberHGOVC::LAWRENCEWANSun Mar 02 1997 23:1410
    Hi Steven,
    
    	Can the customer only order the rear panel of the 90TS? And what is
    it part number?
    	
    	Since the customer want to move the 90TS from DEChub 900 to
    Standalone, but he still need the AUI port to connect the repeater.
    
    Thanks and Regards,
    Lawrence

    You might want to look at the following URL.

    I am having a problem interpereting this myself. It appears that the
    following are applicable to the 90TS.
    
    DETMI-MA       DECrepeater 90TS Hub Unit
    DETMI-A*       DECrepeater 90TS Standalone Unit(4)
    DETMI-S*       DECrepeater 90TS Stackable Unit (5)
    
    I think if you ordered one of the above you would get a repeater
    module and, if applicable, either the Standalone Unit or
    the Stackable Unit. Not sure if you could order this seperately.
    IE just the Standalone Unit without the module.
    
    I will try and find out from a colleaugue in the NPBU.
    
    Stay tuned.

3878.5here you go. So yes you can.KERNEL::FREKESLike a thief in the nightMon Mar 03 1997 08:1438

    I got the following reply from a colleaugue in Sales. Hope it helps.
    
    Posted without permission.
    
    Once upon a time, you had two options:          
    -MA for the module (Module Alone)
    -AE for the module + external power brick. (E=> UK variant)
    
    Then the MultiStack stackable hub shelf was developed from the -AE, and
    we hada 3rd option -SE (S for stackable, E for UK variant of power)
    
    All repeaters, bridges and DECagent are now available in -MA and -SE
    variants only: the -AE "standalone" variants went EOL.
    
    However, the group which look after the other 90 modules (Terminal
    Servers, RouteAbout, RoamAbout, PktProbe etc) have stayed with -MA or 
    -AE  ie. you can't buy these modules prepackaged with the MultiStack 
    shelf in a -SE variant.  If you want that, buy a -MA, and an empty 
    shelf DETRX-SE.
    
    For your DETMI, you can get the -MA or -SE.  The -AE is EOL.
    
    Another gotcha: the DETML Repeater 90T-16 has 2 sets of backplane
    circuitry, so can drive both the BNC port and the backplane at the 
    same time.  In the stackable format, the "backplane" circuitry can 
    be used to drive a MultiStack shelf with a built-in AUI port.  
    Therefore, the DETML is available in:
            
    -MA: Module alone
    -SE: Module + standard MultiStack shelf no AUI
    -UE: Module + MultiStack shelf with AUI.
    
    For the DETMI,
    
    Regards
    	Steven
