- GENERAL
- INFORMATION: The NetWare Link/X.25 product is a multipoint router for
- NetWare v2.1 and above. It runs in a nondedicated bridge.
- It replaced the Novell X.25 Multipoint Bridge.
-
- PROBLEM: Many X.25 customers (including Novell UK) have their line
- configured for 3 kinds of Virtual Circuit (VC) - Incoming
- Only, Outgoing Only, and Two Way. With the old X.25
- software it was possible to configure the starting logical
- channels for each of these VC types. However, with the Link
- software only the starting logical channel for all types is
- configurable.
-
- Now, this is fine if all channels are two way; however, when
- we mix them (for example, we want to guarantee a free
- channel for incoming calls, so our channel 4 is incoming
- only) we find that an incoming call comes in on an outgoing
- channel. It is then rejected.
-
- Since the old software was configurable, it worked fine.
-
- SOLUTION: Reconfigure the line for all two way VCs, or use the old
- software.
-
- (X) This information was verified in the lab.
