2791.0. "HubWatch doesn't reload/reset DEChub900" by SSSAXP::LEMONS (And we thank you for your support.) Mon Sep 25 1995 23:14

    Hi
    
    Just a sanity check:  am I correct that HubWatch does not provide the
    functionality to reload/reset a DEChub900, and that the OBM port must
    be used to do this?

    Before anything else:
    
    	Do you agree that the same functionality you have managing the 
    	900 in-band is what you have for remote management via the out-of-band
        port (the DB9 connector) using HubWatch in both cases?.
    
    	And also when you have to reset a DEChub900 you normally do it via
        the Setup Port (the MJ8 or RJ45 connector, whatever you call it)?
    
    	The Setup Port also can be used to initiate a load of the firmware 
        image instead of HubLoader. You initiate the load via the OBM port 
        when the image gets corrupted via a BOOTP request made by 
        the 900 through that port.

    Yep, I agree.  It just hadn't occurred to me until tonight that I want
    remote access to the Setup port functionality.  Said another way,
    walking to the next building to type in a reset command is not my idea
    of fun.  I wish HUBwatch had something that would allow this . . . .

    Are you using Hubwatch v4.1 ? It has the function you need...
