Version 7.0 will inter-operate with Version 6.x systems. Version 7.0 does not even require you to run CSA on a V7.0 AW/AP. The minimum equipment list to add a single WP to an existing V6.x system is: NCNI (pair for redundancy) RCNI (one per WP) WP The minimum equipment list to add multiple WP/AW/APs to an existing V6.x system is: NCNI (pair for redundancy) Switch (2 for redundancy) RCNI (per WP/AW/AP) WP/AW/AP I hope this helps. The V7.x system is new and getting the information out to everyone takes a little time.

The local Foxboro rep said we need to upgrade entire system to a new version (7?) to have a Solaris 8 based station. We run on version 6.1. If someone gets more information, please share with us here.

I'm seeking input on replacing two dual headed "B" boxes workstations in January when funds are available. Should we go with the new and improved ethernet XP platforms? Should we go with the next generation of Sun platform on ethernet? Should we stay with the nodebus only, and upgrade the "B" boxes to "D"? At the Orlando conference, I understood that after January, Foxboro won't be shipping "D" boxes for new installations. They will supply the new Sun platforms running Solaris 8 that replace the "D" box. We have a small I/A system, municipal water treatment, running V6.1.2 with two "E" hosts, one "D" workstation and 2 "B" dual head workstations. Thanks in advance for any input.
