(ASCEND) 2.1.3 for MAXTNT
2.1.3 for the MAX TNT and DSL TNT has been given to support. This release
contains the following
Enhancements:
* Configurable modem dialout timer
* Immediate modem dialout for E1 loads
* ATM support in RADIUS
* MAX TNT support for DSLPipe Plug & Play
Corrections:
* TR 3207 RIP updates did not include routes for summarized pools.
* TR 258579 Ascend-Authen-Alias was not recognized for added MPP channels.
* RADIUS-based Frame Relay connection using a SWAN card failed.
* MAX TNT did not forward directed broadcast traffic from dialup connections.
* Memory corruption could occur when using Telnet in Local Echo mode.
* Modem calls could fail but the modems were not added to the Suspect list.
* IP address pool leak.
* SNMP: MAX TNT reported wrong D channel number.
* IPX error when routing to non-Ascend units.
* PPP sessions could be mistaken for MP+, causing disconnect code 35.
* OSPF routes could be lost over nailed links.
* ATMP tunnels could disconnect for multilink sessions.
* ATMP tunnels could disconnect for multilink sessions on multiple cards.
Rockwell modem code versions:
* Series56 Digital Modem Modules support Rockwell 2.084 firmware, which
includes support for V.90, K56flex, K56plus, and all slower, standard modem
speeds.
* V.34 Digital Modem Modules support Rockwell 1.610g19.
Known issues:
* For a few minutes after the MAX TNT starts, it may not route incoming
calls. After a few minutes, it begins routing calls properly.
* Release 2.1.3 is not recommended for use with DM48-v.34 cards under heavy
load.
* A data filter applied in a local profile doesn't take effect for
terminal-server calls.
* Frame Relay NNI is not supported on Frameline and SWAN cards.
* NetWare and STAC link compression.
NetWare, by default, relies on the Data Link layer (also called Layer 2) to
validate and guarantee data integrity. When you configure STAC link
compression, it performs an eight-bit checksum, which is inadequate for
NetWare data. This issue has existed in all previous releases of Ascend
software. For NetWare connections, you can configure one of the following
link compression options:
- Configure either STAC-9 or MS-STAC compression, which use a more robust
error-checking method.
- Disable Link Compression by setting Link-Compression to None. When link
compression is disabled, the MAX TNT validates and guarantees data
integrity via PPP.
- Leave the default STAC compression setting and enable IPX-checksums on
your NetWare servers and clients. Both server and client must support
IPX-checksums. If you enable checksums on your servers but your clients do
not support checksums, their logins will fail.
