3005.0. "A port of 900EF to a system with FDDI" by ATHINA::KARVOUNIS_A (Who knows KWITERBELYAKIN ? ) Fri Nov 24 1995 08:28

    
    
    	Hello everybody I will like to know if the following will work.
          ------------
         |alpha-system|      I have a DEC HUB 900 with verious  DECRepeaters
    	 | with FDDI  |      with a 900EF and a 900PE SWITCH. These are con-
    	 | controller |      nected thru the FDDI backplane channel. And I
         |------------|      will like to connect thru the A connector of
              |              the 900EF SWITCH a ALPHA 2100 system which is 
    	      |	             far away from the DEC HUB 900.
              |                 Thanks,    Angelo

3005.1It will work, but should use a concentrator.MSDOA::REEDJohn Reed @CBO = Network ServicesFri Nov 24 1995 11:5217
    Perfect.  This config will not provide you with redundancy, but it will
    work.  Perhaps you might want to try something besides an "A" port out 
    the front, but without a concentrator to do the ring AB to M
    combinations, you will not have a redundant ring.
    
    But it will work, and the Alpha will be on the 100M ring.  I have six
    spare DECconcentrator 900MX 6-port modules (with ANSI-MIC, and UTP
    ModPMDs) if you need a quick source of a Concentrator to make it really
    work nicely.  My cost center manager would be happy to sell them to
    you !!
