2947.0. "Hubloader requires 900FP to load "Direct" vs "hub"" by NCMAIL::SCHEID () Fri Nov 03 1995 00:45

    Why does HUBLoader require a Portswitch 900FP to loaded "direct" as
    opposed to "hub Managed", while DECrepeater 900TM and Portswitch 900TPs
    can be loaded via the "hub managed" method. 
    
    
    This happened to a DECrepeater 900FP being upgraded from v1.1.0 to
    v1.2.0.

2947.1You could DIRECT upgrade a DETMM ??MSDOA::REEDJohn Reed @CBO = Network ServicesFri Nov 03 1995 02:1717
    I am surprised that you got the DECrepeater 900TM to upgrade through
    the MAM.  I just upgraded eight sites, from V4.0 DCF to the new v4.1.1,
    and HUBloader (that came with v4.1.1) would NOT allow me to Hub-Manage
    download upgrade any of the DECrepeater 900TM modules.  
    
    This was in a Chlorine factory, so I had to climb into my saftey gear,
    and walk out to all of the sites with Repeaters, assign a temp IP address
    to the individual module, walk back to the HUBloader PC in the network
    administrators office, & perform a DIRECT upgrade.  Then put my gas
    mask back on, and walk to the remote buildings to delete the modules'
    temporary IP address that I had assigned.  
    
    I would like to know how to directly upgrade the 900TM repeaters, for
    future reference.

    I believe there was some discussion on this in note 2379.

    Correction ... i could do hub assisted on the 900TP & 900CP not the 
    900TM and 900FP
