Conference 7.286::fddi

1500.0. "FDDI Training Material ????" by GIDDAY::STANISLAUS () Thu Nov 17 1994 02:59

	I am planning to give a few courses in our Territory (South Pacific
Region) on DEChub 900 and Hubwatch. What I am looking for is, some materials
on FDDI Overview or FDDI concepts. My knowledge is mostly based on what I learnt
from the FDDI primer and FDDI System Level Description books and working on
a few DECbridge 5xx/6xx and DECconcentrator 5xx and also DECswitch EF and
DECconcentrator 900MX. But I do not have any material or slides to present it to
a class. Before I go ahead and prepare some such material, I wanted to ask in
this note if some such training slides, etc are already available somewhere
on the network as post-script files.


	Basically the material should be coverable in an-hour to introduce to
people who do not know FDDI at all, information such as FDDI dual ring, wrapped
ring, tree config, A port, B port, M port, S port, SAS station, DAS station,
SMF and MMF fibre, ring distance, distance between stations, the ring init, ring
purge and ring clain processes and cover FDDI ring counters - what they mean ?
Eg what does ring inits received mean, what does ring inits sent mean, etc.
This one-hour session should help the students to understand when I go into FDDI
configurations on DECswitchEF and DECconcentrator 900MX in a DEChub 900
backplane.

    Alphonse,
       You can copy the slides I used to use in a 2 day FDDI technical
    seminar from JUMP4::$USERS:[JOY]FDDI_SEMINAR.PS. I don't have the
    source unfortunately. You can also look in JUMP4::$USERS:[JOY.FDDI_DOC]
    for some FDDI presentations I've used at DECUS over the years.
    
    Regards,
    Debbie
