1266.0. "reset A/B ports of 900mx to M port" by AIMHI::LAVERDURE (Ron -What Nodes my Mind On) Mon Mar 07 1994 22:15

    Can you reset the 900 mx fddi concentrator factory default parameters for 
    port 1 and 6 that are set to port 1 = A port and port 6 = B port to
    port 1 and 6 both = M port via the out of band management port of the 
    onehub via command line instructions?
    
    I have read the sales update and installation manual and only find
    reference to HUBwatch being used to reset ports 1 and 6 of the
    deconcentrator 900mx .
    
    I have a customer needing the 900mx to interconnect 5 axp 150 pc's
    using utp fddi and do not have hubwatch as an option for these
    platforms as yet to my knowledge.
    
    Many thanks in advance; 
    
    Ron Laverdure

1266.1	reconfigure a 900mx Connentrator	QUIVER::PARISEAU	Luc Pariseau	`Tue Mar 08 1994 12:42`	7
	You cannot reconfigure using the command line (Setup Port...the out of band port is a SLIP port not a command line interface.) You need HUBwatch (V3.x which is not out yet) to do this. Luc
1266.2	No need to reconfigure...	ANTIK::WESTERBERG	Stefan Westerberg DC SN&O Stockholm	`Tue Mar 08 1994 15:14`	5
	Hi, you don't need to reconfigure port 1 and 6 to M ports, if you want to connect S ports to them. Standard FDDI connection rules, see Networks Buyer's Guide (1992-1993) page 3-15. /Stefan
