606.0. "900TM: Port switchable to OUT position ?" by HGOVC::GUPTA () Tue Jan 11 1994 21:28

    A big government tender I am responding to asks for "..a minimum of one
    10BaseT port SWITCHABLE TO OUT POSITION for cascading to an upstream
    hub...."
    
    Now what is this SWITCHING TO OUT POSITION ?
    
    With some other customer, I have connected two 10BaseT ports (i.e. two
    90T repeaters) together by using CROSS UTP cable. Is that all this
    SWITCHING TO OUT POSITION all about ?
    
    I will appreciate some techical inputs on this issue to justify 900TM.
    As the above mentioned feature is a mandatory one, I want to be sure.
    
    Thanks for your help.
    
    Regards,
    Gupta.

	Ask the customer. Any of the UTP ports can be used for a repeater-repeater connection if you use a crossover cable. It may be that they are asking for the ability to use an uncrossed cable and do the cross in the port then we don't do that...
