     PRODUCT NAME:  DECndu (Network Device Upgrade) Utility       SPD
     33.47.00
                    for VMS, Version 1.0

     DESCRIPTION

     The DECndu (Network Device Upgrade) Utility allows users, at a
     host in an "Extended LAN", to upgrade the existing version of
     software within the DECbridge 500 and DECconcentrator 500.

     The DECbridge 500 and DECconcentrator 500 are FDDI products
     which ship from the factory with the software preloaded. The
     software resides in electrically alterable memory within the
     hardware, and is updated via the DECndu Utility.

     DECndu upgrades the existing version of software in the
     DECbridge 500, and DECconcentrator 500 via the "Extended LAN".
     An "Extended LAN" is a collection of LANs (Local Area Networks)
     that are interconnected and logically appear as one large Local
     Area Network.

     General characteristics of the DECndu Utility:

     o  Installs and resides on host in the LAN

     o  Loads the new device software from the host into electrically
        alterable memory within the hardware device where it will
        remain

     o  Verifies that the load was successful
