This chapter lists known problems in the 3.1 release of IRIS
|
|
Token Ring.
|
|
.BL
|
|
.LI
|
|
The system's programmable read-only memory (PROM) supports only the
|
|
Ethernet network connection.
|
|
Therefore, IRIS Token Ring cannot be used for
|
|
PROM-level network downloading (that is, \f2bootp\fP, also
|
|
called booting over the network).
|
|
For IRIS Indigo and IRIS-4D/30/35/100/200/300/400 workstations and servers,
|
|
use the
|
|
built-in Ethernet adapter.
|
|
For IRIS-4D/60/70/80 workstations and servers, use the ENP-10\(tm
|
|
ethernet board for downloading if it is installed.
|
|
.LI
|
|
Due to a hardware discrepancy, IRIS Token Ring is not supported for
|
|
Personal IRIS-4D/20.
|
|
.LI
|
|
Due to a mandatory power-up diagnostics feature on the VMEbus
|
|
version of the board, board reset takes approximately 35 seconds.
|
|
(This does not apply to the GIObus version of the token ring board.)
|
|
.LI
|
|
When promiscuous mode is enabled, LLC type 2 service is not
|
|
supported. Thus, SNA and NetVisualyzer, for example,
|
|
are not supported concurrently.
|
|
When NetVisualyzer is running, all SNA connections are
|
|
aborted.
|
|
.LI
|
|
Occasionally when you power up or reboot your system, the message
|
|
\f7early interrupt\f1 is displayed in the console window.
|
|
When you see this message, press the reset button to restart
|
|
the system.
