2001.0. "Hubwatch 3.1.0/900EF problem" by 36927::DJAMES () Fri Feb 10 1995 12:14

    Can a DECswitch 900EF be managed standalone in a dechubone-mx docking
    station.  We have tryed this thru the FDDI ports to another 900EF in a
    900 backplane.  It does have its own IP in-band address the result from
    hubwatch is "no response from agent. I can ping the standalone 900EF
    and it functions correctly in a mini lan. Are we missing something?? We
    are using Hubwatch 3.1.0.

	You are apparently missing something. What you are trying to do is legal, and HUBwatch will manage it. Tom Hood HUBwatch
2001.2	V3.1.0 on what platform?	ROGER::GAUDET	Because the Earth is 2/3 water	`Fri Feb 10 1995 13:13`	6
	Out of curiosity, what platform is HUBwatch running on? This seems to be a somewhat frequent problem on the PC/Windows platform. If it is HUBwatch for Windows, you might want to check some of the other notes in here regarding getting HUBwatch to talk to a device when PING works OK. ...Roger...

	I am amazed that you have anything working with a DECswitch 900EF and a DEChub ONE-MX docking station since the DECswitch 900EF does not have the proper firmware for supporting a docking station with MOD-PMDs! The PEswitch 900TX is the only currently shipping FDDI module that can use the FDDI ports on the DEChub ONE-MX docking station. Are you using the MOD-PMD ports on the DEChub ONE-MX or the front panel FDDI ports on the DECswitch itself. The DECswitch 900EF should be able to draw power OK but accessing the MOD-PMD ports on the DEChub ONE-MX and other mgmt niceties will not be there until Wave 3
