2224.0. "DS900EF, PEswitch, DEChub ONE and SMF" by DPDMAI::DAVIES (Mark, SCA Area Network Consultant) Thu Apr 27 1995 12:13

    When or will the DECswitch 900EF and PEswitch 900TX be able to use 
    the DEF1H DEChub ONE in standalone mode to make a connection to FDDI 
    via SMF?

As I know PEswitch should be able to do it now DECswitch will need new 
firmware.

2224.2Need a precise answer for a sale...DPDMAI::DAVIESMark, SCA Area Network ConsultantThu Apr 27 1995 18:4820
    Tahnks for the response, but if possible, I need a answer that I know
    is factual.  Re: .1, the statement made included the word "should work
    for the PEswitch".
    
    I am about to make a ssales of about 5-10 PEswitches and DECswitch
    900EFs.  They are at remode sites (within 5 miles) and are connected
    only by SMF fiber.
    
    I will restate my questions:
    
    1. Does the PEswitch currently support SMF connection via the DEChub
       ONE?  If not, will it and when.
    
    2. Does the DECswitch 900EF currently support SMF connection via the 
       DEChub ONE?  If not, will it and when.
    
    Thanks,

    The NEW (no twisted coil of fiber) SMF PMDs are available for the 
    DEF1H and the DESBF (1.0.2) can take advantage of these NOW.
    
    The DEFBA will have to wait for the next release of its fw to take
    advantage of the DEF1H FDDI connections.  As for when; contact the PM, 
    Jack Forrest.

2224.5DEFXS=BA is the new ST module (no loops)NPSS::KIRKFri Apr 28 1995 12:5010
    The NEW SMF PMD product code is DEFXS-BA.  We are still selling the
    DEFXS-AAs, which have the coiled fiber loops.  You will want to be
    sure to order the DEFXS-BA module, not the -AA module.
    
    We are continuing to sell the -AA (which work fine in cards that are not
    limited by space  -  such as the Gigaswitch/FDDI) in order to avoid
    having to scrap modules already in finished goods inventory.
