1.8NWays Campus Manager
The ATM Forum Compliant version of the 8281 requires version
1.0.5or above of the 8281 PSM to provide device management under NWays Campus Manager for Windows, NWays Campus Manager for AIX, and NWays Campus Manager for
1.9Problems with older ATM adapter code.
The first GA code for the IBM Token Ring FC LAN Emulation ATM adapters had a bug that caused RI fields to be incorrectly constructed. This error resulted in token ring connectivity problems across the 8281 bridge. You should obtain the latest GA drivers for the adapters.
1.10Migrating from Release 1 to Release 2 code
If you have an 8281 bridge which has Release 1 code and configuration, perform the following steps to migrate to Release 2 (Forum Compliant) code:
-Download Release 2 operational code.
-Reset the 8281 bridge (to activate Release 2 code).
-Setup Release 2 configuration using Release 2 Configurator.
-Send Release 2 profile using Release 2 Configurator.
-Reset the 8281 bridge (to activate Release 2 configuration).
2.RELEASE NOTES
2.1Prerequisites
2.1.1 8285 Microcode Version
The 8285 boot microcode must be at version 1.2 (or higher) and the 8285 operationalmicrocode must be at version 1.2 (or higher).
Use the SHOW DEVICE command on the CPSW console and contact your IBM service representative if required.
2.1.2ATM server with IBM 100M bits adapter TURBOWAYS 100 OS/2 driver If this adapter is used on the ATM server with the OS/2 device driver, the CSD level of the driver must be 1.22 or higher.
If this is not the case, the MAX FRAME SIZE parameter in the OS/2 device driver PROTOCOL.INI file must be increased from 4096 to 4200 bytes. MAX FRAME SIZE value of 4096 is not compatible with NETBIOS and can create a problem if this protocol is used between the LAN clients and the ATM server.
2.2 Network Management.
The 8285 ATM LAN Bridge Module is now fully supported by the Network Management applications (up to release 1.14 of the Operational code software, the 8285 ATM LAN Bridge was handled by the Network management applications strictly in the same way as the Stand Alone 8281 ATM LAN Bridge).
ATMC PTF NUMBER UR45751 MUST BE INSTALLED AS A PREREQUISITE FOR THE 8285
ATM LAN BRIDGE SUPPORT BY THE NETWORK MANAGEMENT APPLICATIONS WITH THE BRIDGE OPERATIONAL CODE STARTING FROM LEVEL 1.15.
2.3Problems with memory dump on machines with less than 8M RAM.
