RE: Twinax probs

["Leonard Hart" <leonard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

a problem with Twinax is any device on the line can bring down the others
(not necessarily in the order oonnected).  That makes it difficult in
finding the problem.  You have to start from the first device and add them
back on the line one at a time to find the problem.

<One device on a twinax line would not normally "drag down" all the
other devices "unless" it was the first device on the line and it
failed quite badly, it "might" bring down other devices by not
allowing communications.>

A kicker we got here several years back was a device would get some sort of
error and drop off and recreate. And when it recreated it it set Drop line
at signoff and it would kill the others. These devices were remote devices
in a Frame Relay network and I KNOW this should NOT have happened but I also
know it did...
