Chapter 10: Installing Management Applications
136
Note
Long startup times for BACS 3 may be caused by a limitation of
.NET Framework 2.0, as described in Microsoft knowledge base
article KB936707. To improve the startup time of BACS 3, apply
.NET Framework 2.0 SP1 (or appropriate version for your OS as
shown in the Recommended column of Table 14), and reboot your
system.

The driver software is available for download from the Allied Telesis web
site at www.alliedtelesis.com/support. After you have accessed this
website, enter the model number in the Search by Product Name box
and then click Find to view the current list of available software drivers.
