Introduction
This release note documents additions and corrections
to the
ATMLink™ 155 PCI Network Interface Cards
User Guide,
part number 09-1038-000.
Known problems with server hardware and with the
Microsoft Windows NT and Novell NetWare network
operating systems are addressed in separate sections.
The term ELAN (emulated LAN) may be used to denote an
LEC (LAN Emulation Client) in this release note. This is to
maintain consistency with the ATMLink install program
and ATMLink utility for Windows NT.
General Considerations
The following considerations apply to all models of the
3C975 ATMLink NICs.
■
The 3C975.LAN NetWare driver is now officially
Novell-certified.
■
The LAN driver for Microsoft NT is not yet
Microsoft-certified for any version of Windows NT.
Client Considerations
When an end station communicating with an ATMLink NIC
through an ATM switch or edge device physically disconnects
from the network and physically reconnects with a changed
ATM address, the end station can experience a delay of
5 minutes in reestablishing communication with the
ATMLink NIC while the NIC updates its LAN Emulation
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table.
Server Hardware Considerations
Compaq ProLiant 5000 Computer
To use the ATMLink NIC with the Compaq ProLiant 5000
computer, upgrade the system ROM with ROMPaq SP2400,
version 3.07 revision A or later, available from the
Compaq Web site (www.compaq.com). Search on the
string SP2400 to find it quickly.
