550.0. "Future DECrepeater 90's manageability" by PRSSOS::GROSSETETE () Thu Dec 09 1993 12:47

    	Could we get some informations about unnanounced product ?
    
    	According to some documents, we'll announce some new DECrepeater's 
    which are "half-size" (90's style) but with an integrated SNMP agent
    on them. 
    
    	So, they will be manageable in a DEChub 900 as well as
    they could be used as an IP services agent.
    
    	Now, if you use them as a standalone device, they won't have
    an OBM port since they will use the same DEChub One chassis as the
    current DECrepeater 90's.
    
    	Does it mean they will be completly unmanageable in this 
    configuration ? or, will they request an IP address using BootP
    and become manageable through SNMP if a BootP server handles
    their request ?
    
    	Best regards
    	Patrick

	The new half-height repeaters will have a front bezel RJ45 (MJ8) connector for a serial line; it will function as both a setup port and an OBM port (SLIP). You can assign an IP address using the SLIP port (I believe that they will also request one periodically via BootP if they don't have one). Once they get an address, it is stored in non-volatile configuration so they won't ask again. They will be completely managable through the hub or thier own resident agent in a hub, and through thier own agent when standalone. They will be capable of providing IP services for the DEChub 900 MAM.

	Many thanks Patrick

	In a standalone configuration , what kind of backbone connection is available AUI , 10bT, Fo or Thin wire like 90's old style . Thanks
550.4		NACAD::HERTZBERG	History: Love it or Leave it!	`Thu Dec 09 1993 16:31`	1
	Both products will have both thinwire like the 90 and also an AUI port.
550.5	AUI & old standalone module	PRSSUD::CARRAYROU		`Fri Dec 10 1993 10:07`	34
	I resume all informations Could you confirm these informations DECrepeter 90TS DETMI 8 10BT , RJ45 ,SNMP manageable , OBM via SLIP port set IP address via setup port or network BootP assignable to thinwire and/or IRB (1 Flexible channel) , backbone connection Thin and AUI in standalone configuration only , announced 17 feb 94 in europe availability march DECrepeter 90FS DEFMI 2 10B FL (1 redondant or 2 simple) , 1 AUI or thin , SNMP manageable , OBM via SLIP port set IP address via setup port or network BootP assignable to thinwire and/or IRB (1 Flexible channel) , backbone connection Thin and AUI in standalone configuration only , announced 17 feb 94 in europe availability march AUI backbone connection is important in a standalone configuration Did you planed this functionnality on other 90's old module Thanks D.Carrayrou NIS France
550.6	Clarification, hopefully	NACAD::HERTZBERG	History: Love it or Leave it!	`Fri Dec 10 1993 18:02`	11
	re: DETMI When installed in a hub, the thinwire will be available to connect to the hub's thinwire strip on the 48-pin connector. When standalone, there is a rear cover with an AUI port on it. Only in the standalone configuration is the AUI available. In this configuration, there is also a thinwire BNC available. The customer must configure the DETMI to select whether the thinwire or the AUI port is active. The DETMI will support one or the other but not both at the same time.
