Application Notes ==================== 1. General ---------- * The ALT-key does not work on HP-UX systems. To navigate the menu system, use the mouse. * On Solaris and HP-UX systems, pressing the ENTER key will always select the default button even if the focus is set to a different button. * On HP-UX systems, closing a dialog box does not reset the input focus of that dialog box's controls. As a result, when the dialog box is re-displayed, the input focus is still set to the button or field that had the input focus when the dialog box was closed. * On multi-core CPUs running Windows OS, it is advisable to set the process affinity of AlliedView-EMS applications to a single CPU. Failing to do so may result in unpredictable behavior occurring within the applications. 2. Device Manager ----------------- * Device Manager is designed to run on JRE 1.4.1 on Windows, Solaris, and HP-UX. Do not use other versions of JRE or JDK. * To set/get MIB variables using SNMP, Device Manager must be configured to use the appropriate SNMP settings. Ask your Network Administrator for the correct SNMP settings set for each device. When accessing the device using SNMPv1/SNMPv2c, only the community settings are needed. When accessing the device using SNMPv3, the values for the following parameters should be provided: - User name - Security level - Authentication protocol - Authentication password - Privacy protocol - Privacy password * Displaying several MIB variables simultaneously may cause delays in screen updates. When this happens, increase the value of the polling interval. The system environment may also cause delays in screen updates. Increasing the value of the polling interval will fix this problem. * Running several instances of Device Manager may lead to deterioration in system performance. If this happens, you may need to terminate other processes or upgrade the system to accommodate multiple instances of Device Manager. * Depending on the system being used, displaying information for several ports concurrently may cause the performance of the application to slow down. As more ports are selected, it takes longer to retrieve all the information. To improve application performance, increase the value of the polling interval. * Device Manager can only manage devices that are included in the list of supported devices (See Supported Devices and Software Versions section.). If an unsupported Allied Telesis product is set as the target device, the main panel window may open but device management cannot be performed. If a device from another vendor is selected, the main panel will not be displayed at all. * The standard Telnet application on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003 cannot be started from within Device Manager. Use the HyperTerminal application instead. To configure the Telnet external command within Device Manager to use Hyperterminal, select Option --> Option to open the Options window. Choose the External Command tab and specify the path where the executable for Hyperterminal is located (e.g. C:\Program Files\Windows NT \hypertrm.exe /t). * When launching Device Manager, it may take a while before the common graphical user interface (GUI) is displayed. This is due to the changes being made by Device Manager to the system environment being used. * There may be instances when the display of the dialog box forms and button texts are different. This is due to the "look and feel" and system environment settings. * You cannot click on the OK button of a message box (e.g. trap message box) displayed on top of a modal dialog box (e.g. Target Host Property). To close the message box, press or on the keyboard or close the dialog box first then click on the OK button of the message box. * After inserting a GBIC into a GBIC slot on a device or expansion module, the image of the GBIC port will not be displayed automatically within the device image. To view the status of the GBIC port within Device Manager, select View --> Refresh. * In UNIX, when the name of the parameter assigned to the x-axis of a line graph or bar chart is displayed as an item number, it may be difficult to view the table items. Drag and resize the column boundaries to view the table items. * Even if you set the SNMPc Read and Read/Write Access Modes to "SNMP V2c", double clicking on an ATI device icon in SNMPc will open the target device in Device Manager in SNMP v1 mode. 3. AMIGO -------- * AMIGO can obtain MIB variable values by group. However, depending on the size of the MIB group, it may take a while for AMIGO to gather all the MIB values. For example, if the mib-2 node is selected, AMIGO will obtain all MIB variable values under the mib-2 subtree, which could take a while. It is therefore advisable to select only the necessary nodes when doing a MIB Get operation. 4. VLAN Manager --------------- * VLAN Manager will not work for AT-8400 devices running on AT-S60 v2.1.0 NE firmware. To be able to use VLAN Manager with the AT-8400, use firmware version AT-S60 v2.0.1 NE or lower. * To be able to use VLAN Manager with the Rapier 16Fi/MT, use firmware release 2.9.1-11h1 or later. * VLAN Manager does not support the AT-8000/8POE in this release. * On HP-UX systems, VLAN Manager requires a minimum of 110MB of available memory when used with an AT-8000S device. 5. QoS Manager --------------- * QoS Manager currently supports the following devices: AT-8000S Series AT-8600 Series AT-8800 Series AT-9000/24 AT-9400 Series AT-x900-24X Series AT-x900-48 Series (new!)
