|  | Between OSF/1 systems it will work.  It should work with VMS but only
if they have fixed their bug which prevented it from working.

|  |     I did the same thing with OpenVMS AXP and 2 DEFTA's about six months
    and it worked just great.  Just don't try to add a third station.
    It just doesn't work.

    Unless all three are connected directly to a Digital GIGAswitch which
    supports FDDI FDX mode on a per port basis.

| 1520.4 | point to point with DEFEA ? | LYOISA::GAUDIEZ |  | Mon Dec 12 1994 09:56 | 12 | 
|  |     
    I need to connect two AlphaServer 2100 4/275 within a FDDI link (Fiber
    Optical).
    
    I have the same questions that 1520.0.
    
    Does DEFEA-AA interface support point to point connection, with OpenVMS
    and with OSF/1.
    
    What is the PMD for this interface.

    Yes.

    The DEFEA-AA uses an ANSI MIC multi-mode fiber transceiver.  You'll
    need a MIC-to-MIC cable that does the appropriate crossover.

| 1520.6 | BN24B not available | LYOISA::GAUDIEZ |  | Tue Dec 13 1994 11:07 | 6 | 
|  |     Thanks for your help.
    But I have another question about cable.
    In my catalogue, the FO cable MIC to MIC is BN24b-xx but it is now not
    available, it is in maintenance statut. Can you give me the new
    reference for this cable.

| 1520.7 | What cable for point to point UTP FDDI ? | 12368::"[email protected]" | Jeff Dickens | Thu May 30 1996 10:10 | 9 | 
|  | A third party testing firm has two systems we leased for them to
test some software for us.
They have DEFPA-UA's in both, and are running Digital Unix.
What cable should they use for a point-to-point connection?
Thanks...

|  | >>What cable should they use for a point-to-point connection?
    
    The same cable they use for any other connection (cross-over Category 5
    UTP).
    
    If you need a Digital part #, try BN25H.
