3834.0. "Flex channel mapping" by DECPRG::PRMCS2::csfr::kupka () Wed Sep 04 1996 09:02

I have a question about mapping to 12 DEChub 900 flex channels.

Do the "old" repeater modules - PORTswitches 900, DECrepeaters 900, etc.  - 
map to flex channels 6-12 (2-wire)?
If yes, are there any restrictions? I would expect only FW upgrade, is this 
right?

Thanks,
Tomas

    NO support for the additional 6 Ethernets on any of the original
    DECrepeater or PORTswitch modules. Only the VNswitch and new repeater
    will provide connection. It requires more hardware NOT JUST a firmware
    upgrade.

    however, remember now with the new VNswitch 900 modules, you can
    attach to the thinwire, 6 old flex channels and 5 new flex channels
    from the new switch. So, this lets you put a second VN900 module in and
    connect to the last new flex channel for a total of 13 Ethernets (1
    thinwire, 6 old flex, 6 new flex).
