A.5 DECconcentrator 900TH
The DECconcentrator 900TH is a sixteen port FDDI concentrator (fourteen front
panel ports and two backplane ports). The two backplane ports, see Figure A–4,
attach to a DEChub 900 MultiSwitch backplane or to a DEChub ONE-MX docking
station that supports ModPMDs.
Twelve of the front panel ports are fixed unshielded twisted pair (UTP) connections.
The two remaining ports can be configured for either UTP, multimode fiber (MMF),
or single mode fiber (SMF) by the addition of ModPMD modules.
A.5.1 Port Assignments
ModPMD Port 1 can be configured as either an A or M port and ModPMD Port 2
can be configured as either a B, S, or M port. The two backplane ports are also soft-
ware configurable through MultiChassis Manager or the Setup Port menu. Therefore,
both dual ring and tree connections can be supported.
