-
- The following items describe some of FDDIVisualyzer's more
- interesting operational parameters:
-
- +o This release of FDDIVisualyzer supports the SMT 7.2
- ``unknown address'' type (00-f8-00-00-00-00).
-
- +o Service registration for this release is renewed every
- 10 minutes.
-
- 3.2 _A_d_d_i_t_i_o_n_s__a_n_d__C_h_a_n_g_e_s
-
- This section describes additions and changes in this
- release.
-
- +o A problem with registration (generation of NIF frames)
- immediately following clock resets has been fixed.
-
- +o Timestamp displays for the SMT statisitcs have been
- changed so that values over one day old can be
- interpreted correctly.
-
- +o FDDIVisualyzer has been made more robust in its
- response to changes in the system's time (clock).
-
- 3.3 _K_n_o_w_n__P_r_o_b_l_e_m_s__a_n_d__W_o_r_k_a_r_o_u_n_d_s
-
- This section describes limitations and known problems with
- FDDIVisualyzer release 6.4.
-
- +o To quit the Help window in the Display, Capture,
- Tutorial, or Status Mode, you must be in that mode.
-
- +o If the NIF information collected has too many unknown
- or incorrect values, FDDIVisualyzer becomes confused
- and draws an incorrect ring map.
-
- +o If there are cascaded concentrators in a ring,
- FDDIVisualyzer has difficulty determining to which
- concentrator a slave station is attached.
-
- +o If ``token display'' is on, window pop-up menu
- selection is difficult because the pop-up menu is
- overwritten by the overlay plane redraw.
-
- +o FDDIVisualyzer gets confused by ``tree mode'' dual MAC
- concentrators. In the presence of dual MAC
- concentrators, FDDIVisualyzer may report the

- connectivity of the last child of the concentrator as
- unhealthy even if the last child's connectivity is
- healthy.
