506.0. "DEChub 900: what is the flexible interconnect?" by TENNIS::KAM (Kam USDS (714)261-4133 (DTN 535) IVO) Thu Nov 18 1993 00:09

    The sales literature indicated that the DEChub 900 has:
    	2 ethernet,
    	2 token ring and 
    	14 user-defineable
    
    A Distributor that has one indicated that  the documentation that
    accompanied the product indicated that there are:
    	1 ethernet
    	2 token ring
    	1 flexible interconnect
    	14 user-defineable.
    
    can anyone shed some light on this.  I don't have access to the manuals
    to check this out.
    
    	Regards,

         The doc has the right description. The confusion is created by the
    fact that at first customer ship only Ethernet modules can use the
    flexible channel on the upper connector.
    
         Just to clarify ther is 1 dedicated ThinWire Ethernet, 2 dedicated
    Token Rings, and 1 technology independent channel on the upper 48 pin
    connector. There are 14 technology independent channels on the 160 pin
    lower connector.
    
         And to try and clear up one more point the initial Ethernet
    modules will ONLY be able to connect to SIX of the potentially 15
    Ethernets that can theoretically be created. In addition the modules
    can be connected to the dedicated ThinWire.
