Integrated Driver (ID1.1) Release Notes for SX00168-C05.
------------------------------------------------------------------
This release of the driver contains following new features:
1) SONET/SDH
SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) is a North American multiplexing standard that
defines a signal used in optical fiber networks. For ATM over fiber, OC-3c, with a
base rate of 155.520 Mbps, is the most widely-used signal in the US.
SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) is the European equivalen of SONET.
STM-1(Synchronous Transnport Mode, Level 1) is the European equivalen of OC3-3c.
Like OC-3c, STM-1 has base rate of 155 Mbps, but STM-1 has slightly different
framing information than OC-3c signal.
This feature allows the user to configure whether synchronous frame interfaces
support either SONET or SDH framing. This can be configured at either install
time or later via CellView. This configuration is on a per adapter basis.
2) Lec_enhanced.
User can define that the Lan Emulation Client via CellView that lec_enhanced VCs
will not be released if LANE services are lost.
3) ILMI Service Registry for primary LECS.
This feature allows the LEC to query the switch's Service Registry MIB for
a list of LECS addresses as well as Cisco SSRP support by LEC. This will
simplify Network Management.
4) Support of 16 LANE clients and 16 LES.
This feature increases our current client LANE clients and servers to 16. Benefits
include reduced routing for a mixed environment with Ethernet, Token Ring and
FDDI.
5) Default IP addresses.
During installation the IP addresses are all initiailzed to default
values except the first client. These default values for each client
can be seen in TCP/IP Configuration on NT 3.51 (TCP/IP Properties on NT 4.0).
Before installation can be completed you must type in IP address for
the first client. In order to find the first client look for the following
string "Interphase ATM LANE Client 1". In this string, 1 represent
client number or the first LEC. If you are planning to enable more than one
client you will also need to modify the default IP addresses for those client
as well.
NOTE: If you are enabling more than 1 client and have not
modified the IP address for those clients and you have
also installed ATM adapter on another machine and enabled
the same client without modifing his IP address as well.
You will get duplicate IP address message form NT.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
