>KNOWN ISSUES:
>=============
>
>* In releases prior to 7.2, the format of call logging packets is
>identical to the format of RADIUS Accounting packets. Starting with
>7.2, however, call logging is no longer compatible with RADIUS, although
>Ascend NavisAccess product fully supports call logging. The MAX and
>MAX TNT continue to support RADIUS Accounting, SNMP and SYSLOG
>functionality.
>
>* Before changing the VPI/VCI of an ATM connection on an ATM OC3/STM-1
>card, the ATM connection must be disabled.
>
>* After clearing NVRAM, the following configuration change must be made
>before the MAX TNT can be used for dial-out. In the Device-State
>profiles for the trunk channels, Reqd-State must be set to
>up-reqd-state.
>
>* Use of this release is not recommended with Rev. B or lower of the
>Ethernet-II card (TNT-SL-E10-100, part number 0800-0433-001). If you
>have a Rev. B or lower Ethernet-II card, contact your Ascend
>representative to obtain an upgrade to Rev. C or higher. The Rev. B or
>lower cards continue to work with releases earlier than 7.0.0.
>
>* MP bonding of analog calls is supported, but some client modems and
>software may have compatibility problems.
>
>* Configurable receive and transmit data rate limits are not supported
>on the DS3-ATM card. They are supported on the CAP-RADSL, SDSL, and
>unchannelized DS3 cards.
>
>* If you replace an older Ethernet card with the new Ethernet-II card,
>you must write new Ethernet profiles for the new card. The old Ethernet
>profiles do not carry forward. You must also write new profiles when you
>replace an HA192 card with an HDLC2 card, or a Series56-I modem card
>with either a Series56-II modem card or Series56-III card. For any card
>slot where the card type is being changed, you should perform a slot -r
>command after downing (slot -d) or removing the existing card prior to
>inserting a new card type.
>
>* Connection profiles for ATMP mobile clients ignore the Shared-Profile
>setting. Shared-Profile is implicitly set to Yes for all ATMP mobile
>client Connection profiles.
>
>* LAN-Modem profiles contain entries for 96 devices. For 48-port modem
>cards, only the first 48 entries are used.
