3603.0. "ClearVisn Questions" by NSDP01::RV () Mon Jun 10 1996 04:46

	Hi,

	I have just installed the X1017_16 version of ClearVisn, and I have 
	some open issues.

	1. The purpose of the excercise I'made is to be able to configure Token 
	Ring modules, but still with this new version and the latest version of 
	the Hub Manager (4.1.1) I can't see or define T.R. Flex Channels.
	Is this normal ?

	2. Trying to upgrade the Hub Manager with the New Flash Loader, TFTP 	
	transfer failed due to no respons from a TFTP server.
	So I had to start the old NetRider TFTP server in backgroung in order to
	acheive the transfer.
	Is this normal, is the a bootp/tftp server not included with the 	
	hubflash loader ?

	3. ClearVisn is installing old DLL on the PC. After the 		
	installation, some application are claiming that the CTL3D.DLL  is too 	
	old. In the \clearvis\routerdb, there is a verion of CTL3D.DLL dated of 
	the 08/02/93 which seems to be copied under \windows\system.
	I have at least a newer version dated of the 13/01/95 which is not 	
	causing conflicts with other applications.

	Voila, this is all for the moment.

	Robert Vandenberghe

Flex Channels. > Is this normal ? There are no Token Ring flex channels. There are two fixed token rings on the DEChub 900 backplane. If you have at least one token ring module in your hub, MultiChassis Manager (just like HUBwatch before it) will display the two token rings in the LAN Interconnect Window. If you have no token ring modules, the Token Ring LANs are not displayed. Tom Hood clearVISN eng

Starting Router Manager makes TFTP server active. But I don't know how can the customer who didn't buy Router Manager solve this problem.
