Release Notes

ETHX-DS3-1-LT-US, ETHX-DS3-1-LT-UK, ETHX-DS3-2-LT-US and ETHX-DS3-2-LT-UK

1- and 2-port Bonded DS3 EtherXtend Access Devices

Firmware Version 1.00.02

New Features and Enhancements

Initial DS3 product offering.

E3 mode is currently not supported.

Known Restrictions and Limitations

This device will run in DS3 mode only. E3 mode is not supported.

If the device is running in Subscriber mode (user configured) vs Provider mode
(default) there maybe some limitations to the QoS rule configuration. Please contact
Zhone support.

Zhone strongly recommends performing ALL VLAN configurations via ONE management
platform. You must use NMS if you wish to take advantage of QoS features; CLI or
SNMP may be used for VLAN configuration if you have no need for the QoS features.
Mixing management platforms (e.g., using NMS for QoS configurations and CLI for
other VLAN configurations) however, is not recommended and will likely cause
inconsistencies in packet handling.

Although OSI Layer 2 port filter configurations for a group of loop bonded ports
APPLIES to all ports in the bonded group, those configuration will only appear in
the NMS Layer 2 port filter fields of the lowest numbered port of the group; the
fields will appear blank for all other (higher numbered) ports belonging to the
group.

Configurations for a group of loop-bonded ports must be completed on the lowest
numbered port of the group. The higher numbered ports in a bonded group
automatically derive their configurations from the lowest numbered port in the
group; any configurations that have been made to the higher numbered ports will be
replaced by those of the lowest numbered port.

Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) age intervals must be longer than your
router's query interval; Zhone recommends configuring IGMP age intervals at twice
the length of your router's query interval.

Telnet playback of a file containing a large number of lines without a pause could
prompt Command Line Interface (CLI) command rejection or device reboot.

Compatibility Issues

The ability to loop bond DS3/E3 exists only to other ETHX-DS3/E3-LT. You currently
can not bond the ETHX-DS3/E3-LT with a DNE4500/ENE3400.
