1366.0. "DR900FP, Thinwire and flexi-channel?" by WARABI::CHIUANDREW () Thu Sep 01 1994 01:40

    Hi,
    
    Customer will put up DR900FP but have following questions on setup:
    
    1) In HUBwatch user manual, DR900FP can support upto 6 flexi-channels
    and one of port groups must to assigned to Thinwire, and we assume
    ports 1-2 assigned to Flexi-chan #1 and Thinwire (i.e. Leg 7 to
    thinwire), in the DH900 we have a DS90TL and a remote LAN is connected
    to port 1 of DR900FP via the front panel. Does it mean user on DS90TL
    can access to systems on LAN connected to port 1 of front panel?
    
    The DR900FP will repeat LAN traffic from Thinwire to ALL flexichannes
    and vice versa?
    
    2) With HUBwatch, we can have different grouping of ports to
    flexi-channels, butt what is the function of the 'MAC' column, why do
    we need it?
    
    3) If we do not need Thinwire connection of DR900FP, then we do not
    have to connect leg 7 of DR900FP to thinwire or by default leg 7 is
    connected to Thinwire?
    
    
    thanks in advance for help!
