-< Note to OpenVMS VAX users >-
Devices running the firmware in the DEChub Consolidated Firmware Kit
V4.0-1/V4.1 require HUBwatch V4.0/V4.1 respectively for management.
This means that if you are running the version of HUBwatch for OpenVMS
VAX (V3.1) you cannot upgrade your devices to the firmware in the
DCF V4.0-1/V4.1 kits until HUBwatch for OpenVMS VAX V4.1 is available.

| 2.2 | V4.1 for VMS -----WHEN!!!!! | MADMXX::WOESTEMEYER | Why??...Why not!!! | Sat Oct 07 1995 23:33 | 7 |
A customer has 900 modules that require a minimum of Hubwatch V4.0, ie
a DECconcentrator 900TH and PORTswitch 900TP. He is running hubwatch
for VMS V3.1, since there was not a V4.0 of HUbwatch for VMS, when will
V4.1 for VMS be available??

| 2.4 | V4.1.2 Kit now available | NETCAD::FORINO | Tue Jan 16 1996 12:02 | 31 | |
Note that there is now an upgrade to the DEChub Consolidated
Firmware V4.1.1 Kit. This upgrade is V4.1.2. The only difference
between this kit and V4.1.1 is that the V4.1.2 kit contains a valid
firmware file for the PORTswitch 900CP. The original firmware
file for the PORTswitch 900CP on the V4.1.1 kit was corrupted.
The version number of the PORTswitch 900CP remains at v2.1.0.
