Firmware Version 1.00.04
June 18, 2007
New Features and Enhancements
Bug Fixes:
1 - Fixed memory corruption issue that caused the ETHX-DS3 to reboot.
2 - Fixed an issue that caused the DS3 alarm LED to stay on when it should have been off.
3 - Fixed the CLI slotview/circuit configuration menu's 'portMode' command so that you can turn on/off DS3 ports on the provider unit and not the Subscriber unit
4 - Fixed the CLI slotview/circuit configuration menu's 'view' command to properly display the circuit configuration information for the port.
5 - Added all of the CLI slotview/uplink configuration/ethernet configuration menu's commands.
6 - Disabled the CLI global set command as it does not apply to this product.
7 - Disabled the diag commands. There is no Diag support for the DS3 ports.
8 - The 'Port Mode' setting on the Subscriber unit has been disabled. The speed and timing are determined by the Provider unit.
7 - Fixed incompatibility issue with Microsoft .NET 3.0 which is most often used with Internet Explorer 7.
Known Restrictions and Limitations
This device will run in DS3 mode only. E3 mode is not supported.
The ETHX-22xx must connect the another ETHX-22xx with one unit set to Provider mode (defatult) and the other set to Subscriber mode.
If the device is running in Subscriber mode (user configured) vs Provider mode
(default) there may be some limitations to the MTM (Muli-media Traffic Management)(QoS) rule configurations. Please contact Zhone support for assistance.
Zhone strongly recommends performing ALL VLAN configurations via ONE management
platform. You must use web management if you wish to take advantage of all MTM features. CLI or SNMP may be used for VLAN configuration if you have no need for the MTM features. Mixing management platforms (e.g., using web management for MTM configurations and CLI for other VLAN configurations is not recommended and will likely cause inconsistencies in packet handling.
OSI Layer 2 port filter configurations for a group of loop bonded ports
APPLIES to all ports in the bonded group, but the configuration will only appear in the web management 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 loop bonded 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.
For muticast video applications, 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 plus 5 seconds.
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 ports exists only to other ETHX-DS3-2-LT.
The ETHX-22xx kits will not pass traffic to the DNE4500 kits.
