>>Were can we find the PRIVATE MIB description for this card ??

	Have you tried out the chipcom private mib which is shipped with
	SNMP AM V1.1 kit ?

    With regard to the software update problem, I spoke to the Regional
    Sales Manager for Northern Europe yesterdy about this very subject.
    
    They understand that this could well be a problem and are working with
    DIGITAL very closely to resolve this issue. His gut feel was that an
    update license would be offered to our customers (by us) on purchase of
    the equipment. CHIPCOM would furnish us with the updates and based on
    these licenses distribute it to our customers.
    
    Sounded good to me, but the details have still to be worked.

	V2.0 of *what* ?

    	Chipcom Management firmware for the online concentrator.

    
    Why would you need v2.0, the latest version is v2.1 ?
    If you need it you'll have to order it from Chipcom or via our
    logistics organisation. The firmware is licensed.
    The p/n's are:
    
    	- 5000-FDK which contains the Procomm software to download
    	  the microcode
    	- 5100M-UDK-2.10 which contains the actual firmware for the flash
    	  eeprom's on the EMM module.

Hello happy SMART_HUB fanatics,
 

Please read carefully my very first question, I am asking about the 

	BRIDGE MODULE  5102B-EE (firmware version v2.0)

The SNMP_AM v1.1 contains only the Private MIB for the 
Management Card 5100M-MGT (firmware version v2.1 also called EMM v2.1).
There is no description file for the Bridge Card in the SNMP_AM kit.

The previous answers are mismatch between the 2 cards and 2 problems....

Best regards

Jean-Marc MOSER

    Jean-Marc,
    
    The Current Online agent is 2.1 as mentioned above, Chipcom has
    a Betta release available now, that requires their new MIB as well.
    So when it's released product it will 3.0, so Please note:
    the current Mib works with agent 2.1 or below, the new MIB I will
    post later on it works only with the 3.0 release. The 3.0 Betta
    release will be available in one week, so if anyone is interested
    in being a field test site please let me know, I will make the
    software available to you. for the 1.2 kit I think we will have both
    mibs I will keep you posted. I have to double check with the product
    manager and Engineering.

Elias,

We don't understand really your answer...

For the moment, on our CHIPcom Hub we have TWO (2) SNMP AGENTS (or more)
- the first one for the Management Card		5100M-MGT
  (with the PRIVATE MIB from SNMP_AM V1.1)
- the second one for the Bridge Card		5102B-EE
  (without Private MIB.)

Your answer is speaking about a new firmware (v3).
- Does'it mean that with the firmware (V3), the Chipcom Hub will
represent only ONE SNMP AGENT ??
This is very interesting and much more understandable from
customer point of view.

- Does'it also mean that our new Bridge Card firmware is only a
transient solution ??
In this case we have to explain to our customer not
to invest in DECmcc Rules, Procedures, etc on this card.

- What are our intention for V3 firmware delivery ??
* What are our intentions for the customer update procedure ??
* Will the customer have to pay for the update or is the update procedure 
like a FCO ?? 

Many thanks for your answers

Best Regards

The V3 software is in alpha release right now it will be shipping around
june time frame. The V3 release is only for the Online Conecentrator not
for the bridge.

The Bridge latest release is 2.0, the previous release was 1.3. The major 
differences between 1.3 and 2.0 are the followings:
  o mgmt lockup function prevention during heavy loads.
  o Spanning trees protocol by filter based on valid 16 bit protocol type.
  o Fix all identied bugs.

    I need to know if there is any plan from CHIPcom to implement any AM OR
    FM into DECmcc. It will be nice to have the name of the Interface (UTP
    or FIB) instead of interface 1 to 272 for the ONline concentrator.
    
    Any help will be appreciate
    
    Thank you in advance
