2470.1	ENFIN !!!!!	CLPR01::PEYRACHE	Jean-Yves Peyrache Country Support Group France	`Wed Jul 05 1995 17:23`	7
	aahhhhhhh, i want it, where how much..... JYP
2470.2	Can I see it?	PTOJJD::DANZAK		`Thu Jul 06 1995 12:44`	6
	Can I get a quick review of it? Regards, j ^--who found pages of errors in prior config guides.
2470.3		KAOFS::S_HYNDMAN	Ride life's curves	`Thu Jul 06 1995 13:21`	17
	If it hasn't already been done as a scoping process, a dir/title of this conference would probably reveal items which should be covered. ie. when to use what kind of cable (crossed vs not crossed) the six ethernet lan limit the assignment of ip addresses for mam and ip services module the whole dechub 90/decagent 90 management world how to recover a dead module -- bootp method the how many hops is this config examples traps - who sends what from where and what is important to monitor I will gladly proof read this puppy for you and give it the stupid reader field test.

2470.4	A few more suggestions...	MSDOA::REED	John Reed @CBO = Network Services	`Thu Jul 06 1995 13:24`	17
	I would include a VERY SPECIFIC list of configuration RULES, and perhaps a copy of the OPEN DECconnect Network Designer floppy, in a pocket on the back. Many VARs out there are having a VERY HARD TIME configuring DEChub products, and need their hands held very tightly until they get a few more configurations under their belts. I know it's redundant, but as many places as we can, we need to publish which modules fit in which slots, and which supply what types of services, and how many repeaters can be be in a network, and how many bridges, and why not to put a router in parallel with a bridge or repeater, and what types of fiber connectors can talk with each other, and who to call when you need more help...

2470.5		KAOFS::S_HYNDMAN	Ride life's curves	`Thu Jul 06 1995 13:31`	7
	some more see note 2171.15 - ie. mam config issues scott
2470.6		SLINK::HOOD	Maine State Bird: The black fly	`Thu Jul 06 1995 18:32`	7
	re .3: The writer who's doing this document started out by going through this notesfile, so the most frequently asked q's and most frequently seen sources of confusion should all be addressed in the guide.
2470.7	Power	MXOC00::CSILVA		`Thu Jul 06 1995 19:11`	9
	Delivering the TPT110 I received very good comments about the Power Compsumption Sheet that Ed Buzzell included in the course. Many people told me they already needed that. Info about part number and/or pin assignment of common used cables is very useful
2470.8	> and FDDI too <	BDX64::SYSTEM	Pierre-Jean - Toulouse -France	`Wed Jul 12 1995 17:04`	12
	FDDI configuration guide from Karl Pieper should be included and , from my point of view , is a model of clarity and completude also something like "do and do'nt" is always appreciated to avoid errors thanks for the efforts ;
