3. _A_d_d_i_t_i_o_n_a_l__I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n
3.1 _N_o_t_e_s__o_n__O_p_e_r_a_t_i_o_n_a_l__P_a_r_a_m_e_t_e_r_s
The following items describe some of FDDIVisualyzer's more
interesting operational parameters:
+o This release of FDDIVisualyzer supports the SMT 7.2
``unknown address'' type (00-f8-00-00-00-00).
+o Service registration for this release is renewed every
10 minutes.
3.2 _A_d_d_i_t_i_o_n_s__a_n_d__C_h_a_n_g_e_s
This section describes additions and changes in this
release.
+o A problem with registration (generation of NIF frames)
immediately following clock resets has been fixed.
+o Timestamp displays for the SMT statisitcs have been
changed so that values over one day old can be
interpreted correctly.
+o FDDIVisualyzer has been made more robust in its
response to changes in the system's time (clock).
3.3 _K_n_o_w_n__P_r_o_b_l_e_m_s__a_n_d__W_o_r_k_a_r_o_u_n_d_s
This section describes limitations and known problems with
FDDIVisualyzer release 6.5.
+o To quit the Help window in the Display, Capture,
Tutorial, or Status Mode, you must be in that mode.
+o If the NIF information collected has too many unknown
or incorrect values, FDDIVisualyzer becomes confused
and draws an incorrect ring map.
+o If there are cascaded concentrators in a ring,
FDDIVisualyzer has difficulty determining to which
concentrator a slave station is attached.
+o If ``token display'' is on, window pop-up menu
selection is difficult because the pop-up menu is
overwritten by the overlay plane redraw.
+o FDDIVisualyzer gets confused by ``tree mode'' dual MAC
concentrators. In the presence of dual MAC
concentrators, FDDIVisualyzer may report the
- 2 -
connectivity of the last child of the concentrator as
unhealthy even if the last child's connectivity is
healthy.
