KNOWN ANOMALIES/PROBLEMS:
1. The SYNC/570 card cannot exist in the same system with the DataFire Sync 2000,
AccelePort RAS, or DataFire RAS adapters. This will be resolved in a future
version of WanLinks. The SYNC/570 adapter is one of the adapters supported
by WanLinks.
2. The PortAssist viewer shows a Line Speed and Configured Baud Rate of zeros for the
SYNC/570 if the link is externally clocked. If the link is internally clocked both
values show the Configured Baud Rate. The SYNC/570 does not calculate the Line Speed.
Future versions will grey-out the Line Speed, and show the Configured Baud Rate for
internally clocked lines (externally clocked lines will show a Configured Baud Rate
of zero).
3. When configuring ISA boards the configuration program allows the user to press
the Windows Diagnostic button to view the current resources being used. When
exiting the Diagnostic program the configuration program is no longer the active
window. Use the mouse to return to the configuration program.
4. When configuring SNA link services a rebinding process is done. If TCP bound
adapters are part of the system configuration the TCP configuration screen
appears. The mouse is not available in this window. Use the keyboard to
navigate out of the window. This is a Microsoft SNA Server problem which should be
fixed on a future Service Pack.
5.. Before removing adapters make sure that all SNA link services are removed. The
release version will check for this and not allow the removal until the SNA
link services have been removed.
6. If the last protocol (e.g. Frame Relay) is removed from an adapter, another
protocol cannot be added to the adapter. If this is done, the new protocols
will not come active after the reboot. Disable the protocols, reboot, and
add them back. This will be fixed in the release version.
7. PortAssist will show a protocol of SDLC for QLLC SNA links. Use the raw data
for problem diagnosis.
