4310.0. "Downgrade the DECrepeater900TM" by NETRIX::"vandenbergL@mail.dec.com" (Lodewijk van den Berg) Wed Mar 26 1997 12:39

Gents,

I received a DECrepeater 900TM loaded with the firmware of a PORTswitch 900TP.
So the repeater900TM "thinks" it is a PORTswitch900TP. I tried to "downgrade"
it with DETMM200.bin image but it refuses to flash.
What else can I do than "label" it as a PORTswitch 900TP and sell it!!

Did this identity-confused module come straight from manufacturing?

No, don't worry...

This unit is used for demonstration and training.
So it is not student proof.

4310.3Wrong textNNTPD::"VANDENBERGl@MAIL.DEC.COM"Lodewijk van den Berg`Thu May 01 1997 11:118
Hi,

I found out the module was a PORTswitch 900TP but with a front of the
DECrepeater 900TP (includes six little holes for the LAN engin LED's, but on
the front the text "DECrepeater 900TM" was written?!?
