822.0. "VN PMD for backplan?" by NETRIX::"eric gan@bejvc" (eric gan) Mon Mar 31 1997 22:44

Hi there,

When I only need the ATM port of VN EA connected to backplane, do I need to 
order the ATM PMD? Same with VN EF?

Thanks,
eric

822.1PMD needed with V1.5 firmwareNPSS::SCOTTWed Apr 02 1997 09:297
    When backplane ATM connections are supported, you will not need the
    PMD.  However, the backplane ATM connections are not supported in the
    current release of the firmware (V1.5).  Backplane ATM connections have
    some restrictions: 1) Early motherboards for seeds and early ships (pre
    rev-F motherboards) will not support backplane connections at all and
    2) backplane connections only work to ATMswitch 900, they can not be
    used to connect two EA modules.
