463.0. "DECconcentrator features which makes ours unique" by KYOA::KOCH (It never hurts to ask...) Wed Jan 29 1992 09:51

    I want some specific features of a DC500 which will allow a customer to
    buy only our concentrator. They want to submit this list of features to
    purchasing which will leave purchasing with the decision that only our
    concentrator will "fill the bill".

    	Just some ideas which uses all new functions :
    
    . modular
      can be configured as needed
    
    . DECconcentrator management
    	. RS232 port for Out of Band Management (DEFCN-AD)
    	. support for SNMP Set and Get commands : firmware v.3.1
    	. Support for DEC RBMS protocol
    
    . types of media
    	. multi-mode fiber ANSI compliant 
          Ports A & B board as well a Ports M (4), ANSI MIC connectors
    	. multi-mode low power optic : can reduce the cost of the FDDI
    	  connection
    	  Ports M (4), ST connectors
    	. Single-mode fiber
    	  Port A single-mode, Port B multi-mode
    	  Port A multi-mode, Port B single mode
    	  Ports A & B single mode
    	  Ports M : 2 x single mode, 2 x multi-mode
    	  connectors for single mode fiber are FC/PC
    	. Shielded Twisted Pair (150 ohms, IBM type 1)
    	  6 x Ports
    	. Thinwire (50 ohms)
    	  6 x Ports
    
    . Optical Bypass support
    	DEFCN-MB board
    
    . Firmware stored in NVRAM
    	firmware can be updated for new version of FDDI standard (ie: SMT)
    	bug fixes or new functions (ie: SNMP Set command)
    
    . Errorlog
    	last 4 errors are stored in NVRAM
