LAN Network Manager
with NETBuilder II
Systems
If you have previously configured your LAN Network Manager to use the
NETBuilder II system as a virtual ring, and you want to use it as a physical ring, you
must set your virtual ring number back to None.
LLC2 Frames and PPP LLC2 frames are not sent or received over PPP unless global bridging is enabled
using the SETDefault -BRidge CONTrol = Enabled command. You must enable
LLC2 on the port using:
SETDefault !<port> -LLC2 CONTrol = Enabled.
If bridging is enabled and you do not want bridging, either set the -BRidge
CONTrol parameter to NoForward, or disable bridging on individual ports by
setting the following command:
SETDefault -BRidge TransparentBridge = NoTransparentBridge
Remote Access
Default Change
To increase network security, the default value for the NetAccess parameter in the
SYS Service is set to NoRemote. This means that by default, no remote connection
attempts will be accepted by the bridge/router. If you are accustomed to or want
to use remote access, you must specifically set the value of the NetAccess
parameter to Remote.
SuperStack II and
OfficeConnect Boot Path
For SuperStack II and OfficeConnect NETBuilder bridge/routers, flash memory is
the only storage media, which is not designated with a drive letter. When entering
the boot path, do not specify a drive letter. Specifying a drive letter causes the
boot load to fail.
V.25bis Modem Setup If you are using a V.25bis modem with a NETBuilder boundary routing leaf node,
and you configure the line type explicitly as dial rather than auto, be certain to also
set the DialMode to V.25bis rather than use the default of DTR.
Web Link
Documentation Path
When you set the DocumentPath parameter in the WebLink service to a local file,
drive C for example (“
file:///c:”), the Web Link assumes that access to the
NETBuilder bridge/router takes place only from the computer to which the file is
local. If Web Link is used from any other computer, the browser looks on its local
“C” drive for the help pages. If the computer is a UNIX machine and these files are
not present as expected, unpredictable browser behavior will result.
Zmodem Time Out A Zmodem file transfer from a PC to a SuperStack II or OfficeConnect
bridge/router can take a long time. To minimize the possibility that the PC
Zmodem software will time out during the download, run the DEFRag command
on the SuperStack II bridge/router before beginning the file transfer. The DEFRag
command reclaims dirty space in flash memory. Dirty space is memory that has
been written on and cannot be used again until it has been erased.

APPN CP-CP Sessions
and SNA Boundary
Routing
If you set up APPN routing in an SNA Boundary Routing configuration from a
NETBuilder II bridge/router to a leaf node bridge/router, CP-CP sessions between
the remote site PC and the NETBuilder II bridge/router are established before you
can configure the Boundary Routing configuration on the NETBuilder II
bridge/router. However, after you set the -BCN CONTrol parameter for IBM traffic
and enable the -BCN Service, the NETBuilder II bridge/router no longer receives the
CP-CP sessions. To work around this problem, first turn off BOOTP on the
