36.0. "Transport Class pitfalls" by HADRES::DITE (OSI ...just seven steps to heaven...) Thu Oct 05 1989 12:25

    
Please be aware of the following pitfalls when trying to interwork with 
Siemens:                                                              

1. Digital initiator - Siemens responder

   We have transport Class 4 enabled and send out CR (Connect Request)

   Result: the BS2000 system crashes

   There is a "known" bug in the Siemens Transport implementation.
   (Tell the customer - Siemens have a patch available)

   Workaround: set in FTSIE Protocol Class = 2
	       set CONS Classes (V2.0) = 2 in VOTS
	       or  NS-Provider Class-4 to OFF.

2. Siemens initator - Digital responder

   We receive a CR (Connect Request) and send a DR (Disconnect Request)
   with reason code "82" Connection negotiation failed.

   Result: Siemens request Class 0 and we have Class 0 disabled (default).

   Workaround: Enable Class 0     	

Hope this helps.
