Introduction
This publication explains how to upgrade the firmware in a BayStack
100-series hub using the BayStack 100-series Hub Revision C Firmware
Upgrade Kit.
Revision C firmware for the BayStack 100-series hubs was fully implemented
across all BayStack 100-series hubs after November 15, 1996. This firmware
provides the following additional features and support for 100-series hubs:
Compatibility with the BayStack 100-series redundant fiber media adapter
(10BASE-FL RDN Media Adapter)
Bay Networks
BaySecure
LAN Access network security features
More seamless operating environment between hubs in a stack
If these features would be useful to your network, and you have BayStack hubs
that were purchased before November 15, 1996, refer to one of these two
documents to determine if your hub requires an upgrade to revision C
