| -< E3 NOW SUPPORTED BY OpenVMS V6.2-1H3 & higher!!!! >-
VMSclusters has approved E3 for site-site VMScluster communications.
See Nick Carr's announcement in note 5304.
The GIGAswitch/FDDI E3 option number doesn't seem to be readily findable.
Here's the info:
ATM modPHY Cards
Customer Installable Media Interface Modules
The ATM modPHY cards allow the exchange of data between
different ATM systems using particular Physical Layer (PHY)
types. ATM modPHY cards provide the media-specific portion
of an ATM interface to support ATM connectivity across
multiple platforms for different media types at speeds up to
155.52 Mb/s.
The host system provides the power, initialization, and
control for the modPHY card. The modPHY card is used with an
ATM segmentation and reassembly (SAR) or cell-switching line
card.
ATM modPHY cards are optional single-port daughter cards that:
. Provide a customer-installable, field-replaceable module
. Provide front insertion, hotswapping capabilities, and FLOWmaster
flow control if supported by the host system
. Support cabling and connectors for:
- STS-3c (155 Mb/s) multimode fiber (MMF), DAGGM-AA
- STS-3c (155 Mb/s) single-mode fiber (SMF), DAGGS-AA
- STS-3c (155 Mb/s) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or
STS-3c (155 Mb/s) screened twisted-pair (ScTP), DAGGU-AA
- T3 (44 Mb/s) coaxial, DAGGT-AA
- E3 (34 Mb/s) coaxial, DAGGE-AA
BRS should be making a companion T3 support announcement shortly.
Go to it guys!!
