2837.0. "Mgmt Bus pin-out" by SNOFS1::KHOOJEANNIE (Humpty Dumpty was pushed) Fri Oct 06 1995 04:56

    A customer of ours is going to run the MultiStack management cable
    around parts of his building.
    
    Does anyone know what the pin-out is for the management bus?
    
                                           
    Regards

    Just use straight through 10Base-T cables, such as BN25G or BN26M.

2837.2But do we need all 8 wires?SNOFS1::KHOOJEANNIEHumpty Dumpty was pushedTue Oct 17 1995 00:047
    The reason why I want to know the exact pin-out is that we have a
    customer who is going to run the MultiStack management bus up a riser,
    piggybacking on the existing telephone cabling, and wants to minimise
    the number of pairs needed.
    
    Thanks

2837.3Four wires will doNETCAD::HERTZBERGHistory: Love it or Leave it!Tue Oct 17 1995 12:182
    No, you don't need all eight wires.  We only use the same two twisted
    pairs as 10Base-T cabling.
