INTRODUCTION:

This software provides the CyberSWITCH modular remote access platforms with maximum flexibility in central

site environments. It supports a wide variety of communication technologies – including ISDN (primary and

basic rate interfaces), Frame Relay, X.25 and Dedicated Services (PPP, ML-PPP). The software supports

bridging as well as IP, IPX, and AppleTalk routing standards. Security features include Device Authentication

(PAP, CHAP, Calling Line ID), User Authentication, and off-node Authentication via Radius, TACACS, ACE, or

Cabletron’s Connection Services Manager (CSM) . (CSM replaces the former SecureFastTM Virtual Remote

Access Manager - or SFVRA - available with previous releases).

It is recommended that one thoroughly review this release note prior to the installation or upgrade

of this product.

INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION NOTES:

In general, the CSX platform will be shipped to you pre-configured with this version of software. If you would like

to upgrade an existing CSX platform please follow these TFTP download instructions:

1. From your PC or workstation, Telnet to the CyberSWITCH and login as

admin

2. If you are upgrading from UAA 7.2 or 7.3 software, skip this step. If you are upgrading from a release prior to

UAA 7.2 software, you must first transfer the following files:

•TFTP the file PKUNZIP.EXE to the \

admin

directory of the CyberSWITCH.

•TFTP the file RUGRADE.BAT to the \(root) directory.

•TFTP the file AUTOEXEC.BAT to the \(root) directory.

3. TFTP the file UPGRADE.OSW to the CyberSWITCH’s \(root) directory.

4. Telnet to the CyberSWITCH and issue the

restart

command.

SOFTWARE CHANGES AND ENHANCEMENTS:

•NET5 D-Channel Callback

•Modem Callback

•V.90 Firmware

•Modem Firmware revision reported on VER command

•DMS500 phone switch support

•CSX-Y2K-SW-UGK support

KNOWN RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS:

Bridging Software:

•Bridge Dial-Out is not provided for IP Host (RFC 1294) devices

IP Routing Software:

•Under very special circumstances, an IP address from the IP address pool could be assigned to

two different devices. If a device calls in with a static address that is within the WAN interface’s

subnet, and then the DHCP proxy client is enabled in manage mode and receives addresses in

the same range as the one in use by the currently connected device, another device could

connect and request an address from the IP address pool and receive the one which is in use by

the first device.

Solution:

This problem can be circumvented by proper static address configuration of remote devices and

can also be corrected by disconnecting remote device connections after enabling the DHCP

client from manage mode.

•When IP Routing is disabled and you try to configure an IP address for a user, a meaningless

warning message may be displayed. Please ignore this message as the IP address will not be

used when IP Routing is disabled.

•IP Dial-Out is not provided for IP broadcast packets.

•Dial-Out on a Direct Host WAN interface is not supported.

•When the CSX is configured to operate with IP Routing enabled and no security options, multiple

connections can be combined into a channel group only if the remote device supports PPP

Endpoint Discriminator Option.

IPX Routing Software:

•Triggered RIP/SAP devices are not always learning Routes/Service.

Solution:

Configure the remote device for periodic RIP/SAP.

•NetWare Link Services Protocol (NLSP) is not supported.

AppleTalk Routing Software:

•Intermittently, AppleTalk routing may fail to remote devices.

Solution:

Validate that duplicate addresses do not exist in the CSX system.

•AppleTalk support does not yet exist for CSM.

Frame Relay Software: (no notes)

X.25 Software: (no notes)

H0 Calls:

•H0 Calls are not supported on NET5 switches.

Solution:

The initial configuration to enable H0 calls for users must be done in CFGEDIT. Subsequent

changes may be made in either Manage Mode or CFGEDIT.

Any other problems than those listed above should be reported to our Technical Support Staff. See section titled

Global Call Support

for contact information.

MEMORY USAGE:

Memory Requirements for UAA Release 7.4:

The UAA 7.4 software release requires a minimum 8 Mbytes of DRAM in the NE2000-II/4000/5000, and

32 Mbytes of DRAM in the NE7000 and CSX5500/6000/7000 platforms.

Notes:

1. The NE2000-II/4000/5000 platforms come equipped with 8 Mbytes of DRAM from the factory but

accept up to 12 Mbytes.

2. New CSX5500/6000/7000 platforms come equipped with 32 Mbytes of DRAM from the factory.

3. Older CSX6000/7000 platforms come equipped with either 8 or 32 Mbytes from the factory

depending on the date of shipment. Owing to the increased feature content, enhanced multi-protocol

support and increased connection capacity of UAA 7.4, customers planning to upgrade their existing

8 Mbyte platforms to UAA 7.4 may require a memory upgrade. Contact your Cabletron

representative for more information about 32 MByte upgrade kits.

4. The SmartSwitch 9W006 and 9W007 Remote Access Modules for the SmartSwitch 9000 come

equipped with 32 Mbytes of DRAM from the factory.
