1870.0. "IBM TP FDDI ??" by CGOOA::BARNABE (Guy Barnabe - Digital Canada) Thu Nov 16 1995 22:39

A customer recently told me that they could not hook up an 
IBM RS/6000 using IBM's TP FDDI over to a Gigaswotch with the TP interfaces...
something to do with unmatched frequencies, so they have had to install 
fiber interfaces in the RS/6000 over to Gigaswitch fiber ports.

Soo the question is do we have a standard  / non-standard  TP interface,
or is the IBM card non-standard ??

I don't know what the IBM card is using, but all of our FDDI over Category 5 UTP products comply with the ANSI TP-PMD specification. Perhaps the card is using IBM's "SDDI" standard for running FDDI over STP? /l
