This section describes the new features for the following releases:
There are no new features in this release. This release consists of resolving open caveats. For more information on these caveats, see the "Resolved Caveats" section.
|
Note For a description of Cisco 6100/6130 with NI-1 system features, refer to the Release Notes for the Cisco 6100/6130 with NI-1 System Release 3.1.0. |
The following items are new features for Release 3.0.0. For feature details, refer to the Release Notes for ViewRunner for Windows Release 3.0.0, which are located on the World Wide Web at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/dsl_prod/vrmgtsw/vr4w/rel30/vr4wrn30.htm
The following items are enhancements in ViewRunner for Windows Release 3.1.0:
The following information pertains to ViewRunner for Windows, Release 3.1.0 and Release 3.0.0:
ViewRunner for Windows now uses a default values file, the viewrunner.ini file. This file resides in the system software folder after installation. When upgrading from Release 3.0.0 to a later release, you must merge the values from the previous viewrunner.ini file into the new viewrunner.ini file. You can find this procedure in the ViewRunner for Windows Installation and Administration Guide and in the Quick Start for ViewRunner for Windows Release 3.0.0.
The minimum color depth for system monitors is now 16 bit. This number may vary on some machines. If you set your monitor color setting to 16 bit, this will ensure an accurate color display in ViewRunner.
ViewRunner for Windows Release 3.0.0 still displays clearly at a color depth of 256, but some modules appear magenta instead of the standard bright green.
You may need to download some system DLL files before installing ViewRunner for Windows Release 3.0.0 onto a Windows 95 operating system. Additional information concerning Windows NT dual-homed systems and remote TFTP servers is also listed in this section.
"Unable to Load OCX:MSCOMCT2.OCX. See DDTS CSCdm19617."
When you click OK the program fails to load.
If the TFTP daemon is not configured with the "s" on the VR4W remote TFTP path, enter the absolute path that points to the location of the image files, such as, "/TFTPboot."
The caveats listed in Table 2 are open as of Release 3.1.0.
| Caveat Number | Description |
|---|---|
CSCdk71996 | On the Subtend Host Module Properties dialog box and the Subtend Host Servicing dialog box, the OK and Apply buttons should be in the same state, ghosted or active. They are not. Impact: You can click Apply when no change has occurred. Workaround: Do not click Apply until you make a change. This is a cosmetic problem, and does not impede functionality. |
CSCdm05113 | There is no indication that CPE Sign detection is disabled if the CPE sign equals zero. Impact: User cannot determine that CPE detection is disabled other than zero. Workaround: Use the value of 0 to indicate that the CPE is disabled. |
CSCdr31977 | When adding a route entry that was deleted, a duplicate entry error is displayed. Impact: Delete a route entry from the routing table dialog box. Add the same entry back to the routing table. The duplicate entry error is displayed. Workaround: After deleting the route entry, close the routing table dialog box. Open it again to add the same route entry. |
CSCdr32685 | Unnecessary error window appears after locking network interface board and port. Similar for SHM board and port. Impact: When locking the NI-1 or the STM module, the confirmation dialog box is displayed. Workaround: Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box. |
CSCdr32755 | Circuit ID of the Subscriber is not displayed correctly in the LIM Port configuration dialog box. Impact: In DOH mode, the Circuit ID field in the LIM port configuration dialog box displays as unsupported even when the circuit ID for the subscriber has been assigned. Workaround: The circuit ID can be known from the Subscriber Properties dialog box or the View All Subscribers dialog box. |
CSCdr33692 | PVC value or sub ID are not updated in All PVCs window in the Performance Management dialog box. Impact: Go to PVC tab in the Performance Management dialog box. Click on the LSON support given for the subscribers. Edit the subscriber ID in the Subscriber Properties dialog box. Close the Subscriber Properties dialog box by clicking OK. The old subscriber ID still is displayed in the Performance Management dialog box. Workaround: If subscriber ID or PVC parameters are changed, close and reopen the Performance Management dialog box. |
CSCdr34769 | An error message is displayed while adding a deleted Subscriber ID in the Subtend Host Module Configuration dialog box. Impact: Delete a Locked Subscriber from the Subtend Host Module Configuration dialog box, add a subscriber with the same ID, Error message is displayed. Workaround: After deleting the subscriber, close and reopen the Subtend Host Module Configuration dialog box to add the same subscriber. |
CSCdr35280 | Reed-Solomon coding defaults to Short Interleave instead of Long Interleave (CAP) in the CAP Subscriber Configuration dialog box. Impact: When a new subscriber is added to the CAP module, Reed-Solomon coding defaults to short interleave. Workaround: Before adding the subscriber, check Reed-Solomon coding. |
CSCdr35282 | The Usage state of the Ports for Flex cards are unknown for the first time; the Port status dialog box is opened. Impact: When the port status tab of the flex module properties dialog box is opened, usage status is not displayed. Subsequently when the user comes back to the same tab in the properties dialog box, usage state is displayed as enabled. Workaround: Same dialog has the training status of the port. If the port is trained or if the port is training, the usage state of the port is "Busy". If the port is not trained, the usage state of the port is "Idle". |
CSCdr35290 | Changing the line code from DMT-2 to CAP and clicking Apply does not change the Max Upstream and Downstream rates to that of CAP rates in the Module Configuration dialog box. This is true for both the preprovisioned card as well as the physical card present in the slot. Impact: Even after the line code of the flexi module is changed from DMT-2 to CAP, maximum allowed line rates of DMT2 is displayed. Workaround: After changing the linecode, close and reopen the module properties dialogbox and the correct line rates are displayed. |
CSCdr35292 | The View All Subscribers dialog box shows Margin Config for SDSL subscribers. Impact: When there are SDSL subscribers and view all subscribers dialog box is opened, the margin configuration for SDSL subscribers is also displayed. Workaround: None, ignore the margin configuration for SDSL subscribers. |
CSCdr38880 | Fast Train is not applicable for Flexi DMT subscribers. Impact: This error will be reported when the training mode for a subscriber is configured as Fast Train and the configuration is stored and restored using ViewRunner for HP OpenView. Workaround: Always configure training mode for DMT2 subscribers as Standard. |
CSCdr38885 | Software download does not end on timeout during TFTP of images. Impact: During TFTP of images to the node in software download, if TFTP timeout occurs, Software Download is not ended. Workaround: From the task manager window, end the ViewRunner process. Check the network connection between the PC and the node, restart ViewRunner, and continue the software download. |
CSCdr40471 | Minor alarm asserted for network interface module when a configuration that is saved using ViewRunner for Windows Release 2.4.0 is restored using ViewRunner for Windows Release 3.1.0 Impact: If the node has a DS3 NI-1 module, ViewRunner for Windows Release 2.4.0 is used to save the configuration. If this configuration is restored on the node using ViewRunner for Windows Release 3.1.0, a minor alarm is asserted. Workaround: Save configurations using View Runner for Windows Release 3.1.0 or Release 3.0.0. |
CSCdr41408 | The circuit ID field is not getting updated in the Port Configuration dialog box for the LIM module in a DOH machine alone after adding a value in the circuit ID field in a sub dialog box and closing it. Impact: When adding a subscriber to the LIM port and assigning a circuit ID for the subscriber, circuit ID field still displays "Unsupported". Workaround: The subscriber property dialog box has the circuit ID field which displays the correct value. From the LIM port configuration dialog subscriber property dialog can be invoked by left clicking the edit subscribers button. |
CSCdr42236 | Maintenance state is still enabled after port state changed from locked state to unlocked state for the active connection. Impact: Minimal. The display is misleading Workaround: None. |
CSCdr43033 | Selection of any one of the system-wide ATU-C settings fields in the 6100 properties dialog box is not disappearing after selecting the checkbox, clicking Apply and clicking Cancel for the confirmation dialog box. Impact: Selection of any one of the system-wide ATU-C settings fields in the 6100 properties dialog box is not disappearing after selecting the checkbox, clicking Apply, and clicking Cancel for the confirmation dialog Workaround: Close and reopen the dialog box. |
CSCdr43061 | While giving a wrong value in the Connection Timeout field in the Subscriber Properties dialog box, SNMP error HostSubscriberSetTimerData is displayed in the ViewRunner Log window. Impact: Gives the wrong value in Connection Timeout field in subscriber properties dialog box. Workaround: Enter values in the range 1 to 240. |
CSCne02120 | An SC timeout (similar to the TFTP timeout) is needed to handle situations where ViewRunner Software Download or Restore is waiting for the SC to return from reset. Impact: If the SC never comes back after the SC reset or after Clear NVRAM, the Software Download or Restore wizard waits forever. Workaround: Quit ViewRunner and restart. |
CSCne02330 | This procedure recreates the pool property modem port assignment problem: 1. Open the Pool Properties dialog box. 2. Assign a modem port to a pool. 3. Click Apply. 4. Remove the same modem port that you just assigned. 5. Assign a modem port to a pool. 6. Click Apply. 7. Remove the same modem port that you just assigned from the pool. 8. Click Apply. 9. Assign the same modem port back to the same pool. 10. Click Apply. After clicking Apply the second time, the modem port is not assigned to the pool. Line port assignments appear to work properly. Impact: Clicking Apply on the Pool Properties dialog box in a sequence fails to assign the modem port to a specified pool. Workaround: Exit the Pool Properties dialog box and open it again. |
CSCne02378 | The View Subscriber PVC dialog box does not display the in-band management channel (IMC) PVC. Impact: You may not realize that the reason you cannot configure a network side VCC is because it is being used by the IMC. Workaround: Note that you cannot use the IMC VPI/VCI combination on network side VCCs. |
The caveats listed in Table 3 are resolved in Release 3.1.0.
| Caveat Number | Description |
|---|---|
CSCdk90128 | The software download process fails during the restore phase. The node does not answer pings. The node and ViewRunner do not communicate. |
