KNOWN LIMITATIONS When configuring an adapter using the configuration wizard, if invalid input is entered and the back button is pressed, an error message might appear indicating that the input is invalid. Enter valid input before pressing the back button to suppress this warning and to back up the wizard. For PPP links, both sides of a connection must disconnect before they can be reconnected. When using the SDLC interface, the maximum BTU (Basic Transmission Unit) is limited to 521 bytes. This is a known limitation of the IBM SDLC link service provided in SNA Server. See the Microsoft SNA article, "Maximum BTU Limit for Dumb SDLC Interface," for more information. 4. ADDITIONAL NOTES On-line help is available when you install the product.
