3232.0. "DEChub V4.1.1??" by SCCAT::MILLER () Fri Feb 02 1996 14:49

    I just received 2 DEChub 900's with firmware V4.1.1, but can't
    find any mention of it in this conference.  Are my search methods
    really that bad (cock gun, advance finger toward trigger....),
    or is 4.1.1 something that hasn't been brought up yet?

3232.1DEChub V4.1.1NETCAD::MILLBRANDTanswer mamMon Feb 05 1996 10:1123
This release is primarily for manufacturing - in their procedures,
diagnostics were failing.  It contains two bug fixes to the V4.1.0 release. 

        - Power source failover.  When a hub is operating from AC line
          voltage and also has battery backup present, the hub will
          automatically switch to the DC backup if AC power is removed.
          When AC power is restored, the hub will switch back to using
          the AC input.  These events can be monitored with the Event
          Log, available on the Setup Console.  As these events are
          not product errors, they are not recorded in the Error Log.
          In a future version, these events will be passed to Hubwatch.

        - Manufacturing mode diagnostics.  A fix was made to reinitialize
          the time processing unit between diagnostic test passes.

I checked the network sites.  Under the Network Product Business web page
(http://npbwww.hpn.lkg.dec.com) there is a dmhub411 kit and release notes.
The gatekeeper firmware directory, however, still has dmhub410.  I'll
find out why and have it updated.

    Thanks - I had checked this notes file and gatekeeper, but I hadn't
    checked the NPB web page.
