EMM-E6 Firmware

SPMA for the EMM-E6 has been tested against firmware versions 3.22.01; if you have an earlier version of firmware and experience problems running SPMA contact the Cabletron Systems Global Call Center for upgrade information.

NOTE

As a general rule, firmware versions for new products are liable to change rapidly; contact the Cabletron Systems Global Call Center for upgrade information for the latest customer release of firmware.

Year 2000 Compliance

Previous users of SPMA will note a few display changes related to Year 2000 compliance. All SPMA applications now have the ability to display a four-digit year value where this information is available. For example, the Stand-alone Launcher window — which uses your workstation’s system time value to display the time and date of the last contact change — will now display these date values with eight digits (05/31/1998) instead of six (05/31/98).

Please keep in mind, however, that SPMA’s ability to display a four-digit year value in device-specific windows — such as the Device Status window available from the Hub View or the Bridge View — is dependent on the firmware’s ability to provide a four-digit value. Not all firmware versions support this ability; contact Cabletron Systems’ Global Call Center for information specific to your device firmware.
