2141.0. "90TS AUI Port" by BEJVC::TYRONELIN () Sat Mar 25 1995 06:00

    Hi,
    
    Does DEC repeater 90TS support AUI port?? Urgently!
    
    I see it in Networked Computing Catalog. One(page 15) say no
    for AUI port, one (Page 16a) say yes for AUI port.
    
    It's confused!
    
    Any comment on this are appreciated!

2141.1AUI 90TS - YES if stand alone NO if hubPTOJJD::DANZAKSun Mar 26 1995 15:3214
    The answer is no and yes.
    
    YES - if it is in a standalone configuration.  The funky plastic back
    cover has an AUI port on it!
    
    NO - if you use it in a hub - because it has no back cover and, hence,
    no AUI.
    
    I think (but may be wrong) that because of the AUI it needs extra power
    when stand-alone (i.e. the (mumble-AA) power supply doesn't work...
    
    Hope that helps,

2141.2Noted - catalogues are wrong/confusingPTOJJD::DANZAKSun Mar 26 1995 15:388
    one other note - I did a quick 'audit' of the catalog because it
    confused our distributors - different products count ports differently
    - I passed the info on to Greg Dwyer and - I hope - he gets it
    corrected in the printing after next.....

    ... and when it is standalone and using the AUI, it does NOT support
    the thinwire.  The thinwire and AUI share an internal port, switched by
    relays.  You can only use one at a time.
    
    The power supply is any 5/12 volt supply.  The 12V is needed to power
    the MAU.

    The power supply for the standalone DECrepeater 90 TS (DETMI-AA) is a
    H7827-BA. Don't confuse it with any of the other power supplies.
