AST 5250 GATEWAY COMPATIBILITY ISSUES
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Data Comm Product Marketing has considered all aspects of the following
|
|||
|
|
compatibility issues relating to the AST 5250 Gateway product (part number
|
|||
|
|
500399-001). They have made the determination that these issues will not be
|
|||
|
|
resolved for this product.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
These issues are as follows:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- The Gateway software will not function correctly when used on a DCA 10
|
|||
|
|
Net LAN. The master and one slave will operate as a Gateway master and
|
|||
|
|
slave. However, when a third node on the LAN tries to access one of
|
|||
|
|
these two (e.g., a workstation accessing a server), then all three
|
|||
|
|
systems lock up, requiring a cold boot of all the systems. (PR#A41040)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Under Novell Netware version 2.12 software, IBM Token Ring boards
|
|||
|
|
exhibit failures while running Gateway emulation. Any of the slaves on
|
|||
|
|
the gateway will intermittently lock up or lose communication to the
|
|||
|
|
master PC. (PR#A41044)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- When running under Gateway emulation, a print job sent to a printer
|
|||
|
|
attached to a server using the Novell "CAPTURE" command does not print
|
|||
|
|
correctly. Print data is shifted 3 or 4 columns in from the left
|
|||
|
|
margin. (PR#A41051)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Under a configuration where the slaves are communicating with the
|
|||
|
|
master remotely via G-Remote Bridge (from Gateway Communications), the
|
|||
|
|
response time for communication between slaves and master is very slow.
|
|||
|
|
(PR#A41052)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- The 5250 Gateway does not support an environment which uses IBM Token
|
|||
|
|
Ring cards running with Novell Netware 286 (all versions). When
|
|||
|
|
operating under this type of environment, the slaves will lose
|
|||
|
|
communication with the Gateway master, and require a reset to continue
|
|||
|
|
the session. (PR#A41023)
