separate license key file to your Outdoor Router.
2. Tertiary firmware. The firmware has been build in
the new image. Now the firmware on the pc-card is
not used by the Outdoor Router.

between the bridges to detect and logically remove
redundant paths from the network. See IEEE 802.1d
for more information.
4. Radius Authentication and Radius based bandwidth
throttling.

been restored.

NOTE for RADIUS users:
To enable RADIUS Authentication for AP follow the
instructions below:
1. First enable an interface as an Access Point.
2. In Setup > General Setup enable "Enable MAC Auth
Library".
3. In Setup > Advanced Authentication setup. Enable
"Access Control List" and "MAC Address Radius
authentication".
4. In the same window click on setup > Enable X.802.11b
AP. X is the number of the interface. 2 for slot A
and 3 for slot B.
5. Save config.
When you use static routing, make sure that the Default
Router IP address is specified. This can be the RADIUS
server or a router able to reach the RADIUS server.
Without a Default Router IP address RADIUS will not
function properly.
-----------------------------------------------------------
5. TECHNICAL CONSTRAINTS
At the time of release of this software, the following
technical contraints are known:
5.1 IEEE 802.11 MIB
Description: IEEE 802.11 MIB is not provided with the
system release.
Impact: IEEE 802.11 MIB is owned by IEEE 802.11
committee, that does not allow
distribution by third party SNMP based
management systems.
Action: Check our WEB site
(http://www.avaya.com)
on the latest information about this
matter, or obtain a copy of the
International Standard ISO/IEC 8802-11:
1999(E), ANSI/IEEE Std 802.11, 1999
Edition, from either ISO/IEC or IEEE.
Note: The OR supports only part of the
IEEE 802.11 MIB (8 counters).
-----------------------------------------------------------
6. KNOWN ISSUES
At the time of release of this software, the following
issues remain to be solved:
6.1 Version of PC Card embeded software not shown properly
Description: The version of the embedded software of
the PC Cards (also known as the firmware)
is not shown properly in the OR Manager
(shown via Monitor->Interface Monitor).
Impact: It is not possible to determine the
version of the fimrware but as the
firmware is embedded in the image, the
version of the image covers this.
Action: None.
6.2 OR Client in Europe seems to support just 11 channels
Description: An OR Client used in Europe initially
seems to support just 11 channels instead
of the 13 which is possible in Europe.
After connecting to a COR, the OR Client
does support all 13 channels.
Impact: Medium (confusion).
Action: It is required to first connect to a COR
via a channel in the range 1 to 11 to
"enable" channels 12 and 13.
