34 NETBUILDER SOFTWARE VERSION 11.1 RELEASE NOTES
or
UpgradeLink -NA
Otherwise, an error dialog box is returned with the message “Could not verify
user.”
If you use tftp, the “Verify Upgrade Services” step does not need the user or
password to be verified, so those entries as well as the FTP Client User Name and
Password, should be ignored.
Upgrade Link and
Netscape Browser Scroll
Bars
Netscape version 4.05 with AWT patch 1.1.5 has the Java support required by
NETBuilder software version 11.1 Upgrade Link. Certain problems have been
found with this Netscape patch release, such as sometimes the Netscape browser
fails to add scroll bars with text fields. If you experience this or other problems, you
may want to use a later version of Netscape when it becomes available.
Upgrade Link Window
Resizing
Since NETBuilder software version 11.1 Upgrade Link cannot resize the browser
window, you should maximize the browser window so that all of the Upgrade link
dialog boxes will be fully visible without scrolling.
Notes and Cautions This section describes notes, cautions, and other considerations to be aware of
when using the NETBuilder bridge/router software. The topics are presented in
alphabetical order.
APPN Connections to
3174 through
Token Ring
When you connect to a 3174 on a token ring, you may need to enable transparent
bridging on the bridge/router. The 3174 may send exchange identification (XID) as
a non-source routed frame.
Asynch Tunnelling on
Serial Ports
For best results, set the LineType parameter to Leased and set the SuperStack II
NETBuilder bridge/router model 32x connector type for the universal port to
RS-232. For the path to come up, the bridge/router must see a DTR or DSR control
signal from the device. Or, if the device does not generate a control signal, a
loopback connector should be used to supply the control signal.
ATM LAN Emulation
Clients and Large 802.3
Frames
This release of LAN emulation software does not support large 802.3 frame
encapsulation as specified in the LANE standard 1.0. When IP routing is used from
FDDI to an emulated LAN, packets larger than 1500 are sent fragmented per IP
fragmentation rules.
Automatic Line
Detection
When set to the value of Auto, the -PATH LineType parameter first attempts to
bring up the path as a leased line by raising the data terminal ready (DTR) signal. If
the path comes up but a DTR-base dial modem is attached to the path, the
modem does not hang up until brought down manually with the HangUp
command. To avoid this situation, set the -PATH LineType parameter to Dialup.
Bandwidth-on-
Demand Timer
Precedence
Two PORT Service parameters are used to configure bandwidth-on-demand ports.
The DialIdleTime parameter sets the time in seconds before all dialup lines in a port
are disconnected if the port is not in use. The DialSamplPeriod parameter sets the
time (in seconds) to sample before taking an action to bring additional paths up or
down, based on traffic load for bandwidth-on-demand. The value specified for the
DialIdleTime parameter takes precedence over the value specified for the
DialSamplPeriod parameter.
