2871.0. "PortSwitch Window 1-32 vs. a1-a8, B1-b8 ...etc." by NCMAIL::SCHEID () Tue Oct 17 1995 00:30

    
    One of my larger customers has Portswitch 900TP repeaters and thinks
    they are terrific... but they asked a why did'nt we do it this way 
    question ... On the Portswitch grouping window ... why are the ports
    numbered 1-32 ... and not A1-A8, B1- B8, C1-C8 etc... The customer's 
    reasoning behind this is that the Network manager creates the groups
    ... and then sends a technican to the closet to place the appropriate
    cables to the ports ... and has to translate the groupings to what they 
    see on the front bezel of the 900TP ... i.e. group one ports 4,23,14 
    = A4, C7, B6 ...

I can add another tick to the list, my customer just purchased the 900TP
and we ran into the same problem configuring the module with HUBwatch,
the customer had to develope a mapping diagram for his techs so they 
didn't have to use there fingers to count out the ports.
