ASYNC ROUTER AR-P, ASYNC ROUTER AR-5, SYNC ROUTER RELEASE NOTES

[20215] - When modifying your Router configuration (using config modify), if you respond “n” to the prompt:

Do you want to configure and use modemX now?

the Router will take the interface down. Use ifconfig iface up to bring the interface back up, or answer “y” to the prompt and accept all of the defaults (if you desire).

[20396] - When no ethernet media is connected to the unit and the command ifconfig eth0 is entered it indicates that the interface is up and connected.

[20420] - The update periodic +2 command only works the first time; after that, it never calls back. However, if you specify specific times to call, the update periodic command will work.

[20504] - When entering any phone numbers, do not use parentheses () or spaces to separate digits; use hyphens instead.

[20521] - When using config modify to reconfigure the Router, sometimes the Router doesn’t prompt you for the authentication method desired (for an interface). Use the ppp command to select the authentication method desired for the interface.

[20531] - After you set the syslog address, there is no easy way to set the address back to null. To work around this, you must manually edit the config.net file. Contact Technical Support for further instructions.

[20532] - When taking down one type of Ethernet frame, the other Ethernet frame types become “deaf.” To recover, execute config save and then restart the Router.

[20538] - If you are having problems with a dialer operation on your Router, enable syslog on your console, and look at the error messages.

[20541] - When starting the Router, ignore the following messages:

spawn dk86965 returned -1, errno=2 Packet driver not loaded at INT125

[20557] - When using telnet or routervu across a link, sometimes telnet and RouterVu appear to have stopped. Wait at least 5 minutes before re-establishing the connection, because often telnet and RouterVu will recover in that time.

[20565] - When using the ppp command, use the full name of the subcommand, because ppp doesn’t always accept partial names for subcommands.

[20595] - The who command displays telnet servers, ftp servers and ppp sessions, but not console logins.

[20660] - Although it is possible to use root as the name of your Router, don’t use it. If you use root as the name of your Router, your will have problems changing the name in the future.

TCP/IP Mode Issues

[2762] - If a non-existent or downed syslog server is configured for the Router, the Router may continually try to reach the syslog server over the interface.

[20227] - The Router’s telnet expects a carriage return plus a line feed for each line, and some emulators (Microsoft TCP/IP Telnet) can’t do this.

workaround—Use another telnet application instead.
