Port Count 

Posted Thursday 24th January 2008 10:37 GMT

Just to be clear here, each DCX will have a maximum of 384 ports available for ISL or device connection - so if you connect the two chassis with the ICL cables then you have 768 ports available. Let’s keep it accurate here and leave the marketingese to the press releases - I would have expected better than a repeat of the marketing blurb from you guys :-)

Actualy I think you'll find that you CLAIM to speak English.

Therefore isn't it OUR language, therefore should be OUR spelling?

Damn Yanks should learn to spell, and speak, correctly, like a propper Englishman. Learn the true dialect. Broad Yorkshire :D

DCX! Where have I heard that before?

Speaking of trademarks, doesn't who ever bought the remains of CASE Communications many years ago own the trademark "DCX"?
