table and re-enable BootP on the port waiting for the IP address. BootP must be

 

re-enabled before route update are received.

Remote Access

To increase network security, the default value for the NetAccess parameter in the

Default Change

SYS Service is set to NoRemote. This means that by default, no remote connection

 

attempts will be accepted by the bridge/router. If you are accustomed to or want

 

to use remote access, you must specifically set the value of the NetAccess

 

parameter to Remote.

Scheduler

When RunOnBootFail is specified, event-based macro execution (EBME) is enabled

RunOnBootFail

when the primary connections fail to establish within 5 minutes after the switch

Completion

boots. After the initial 5 minutes, PortDown event processing happens at the rate

 

of approximately one port per second. When the PathBuilder S5xx series switch is

 

configured for 2048 virtual ports it takes about 45 minutes after the system

 

initializes for the RunOnBootFail processing to be completed on all ports.

V.25bis Modem Setup

If you are using a V.25bis modem with a NETBuilder boundary routing leaf node,

 

and you configure the line type explicitly as dial rather than auto, be certain to also

 

set the DialMode to V.25bis rather than use the default of DTR.

Web Link

When you set the DocumentPath parameter in the WebLink service to a local file,

Documentation Path

drive C for example (“file:///c:”), the Web Link assumes that access to the

 

NETBuilder bridge/router takes place only from the computer to which the file is

 

local. If Web Link is used from any other computer, the browser looks on its local

 

“C” drive for the help pages. If the computer is a UNIX machine and these files are

 

not present as expected, unpredictable browser behavior will result.

Web Link Login Support

When you access the Web Link application for the first time, you are prompted to

 

enter a username and password. This username and password remains valid on

 

the NETBuilder bridge/router for two hours. Because most browsers cache user

 

login information, it is recommended that you log out of Web Link by selecting

 

the “Logout” icon on the home page.

Zmodem Time Out

A Zmodem file transfer from a PC to a SuperStack II or OfficeConnect

 

bridge/router can take a long time. To minimize the possibility that the PC

 

Zmodem software will time out during the download, run the DEFRag command

 

on the SuperStack II bridge/router before beginning the file transfer. The DEFRag

 

command reclaims dirty space in flash memory. Dirty space is memory that has

 

been written on and cannot be used again until it has been erased.

When interoperating with the ACE Security Server for Token-based login support,

 

you may need to change the RAS Retransmit Timer value to a higher value (for

 

example, 7) to prevent access-request time-outs.
