TXT File Release Notes for MINI-LINK Network Manager Demo, MNM DEMO, Version R4B (c) Copyright Ericsson Microwave Systems AB 1997. All Rights Reserved. This file contains the latest information about this version of MINI-LINK Network Manager Demo for Windows and other relevant information that may not be contained in the documentation. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * DEMO VERSION NOTE This demo version of MINI-LINK Network Manager has all the functionality as the MINI-LINK Network Manager and operates in the same way. The only difference between the demo and the real version is that the demo version can not be connected to a real network, instead it simulates a network by reading prerecorded data from a database. Some commands will result in a dialog saying 'No answer from XXXX' where 'XXXX' is the terminals ID. This is because sent command was not recorded and the data in the database can not be changed. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * NEW FEATURES COMPARED TO PREVIOUS VERSION, R3A 1) Back-plane Traffic routing introduced. 2) Support for new compact magazine, AMM 2U-3. 3) Preset function for factory setting of ML-E units introduced. 4) Possibility to define severity for User Input 1 and 2 introduced for MINI-LINK MkII and C equipment (Radio Modules and SMMs). 5) Search filter added in the Alarm-, Performance- and AGC log. 6) The new Alarm Log function, "Include Start and Stop", makes it possible to indicate when supervision of a terminal begins and ends. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * KNOWN LIMITATIONS 1) Graphical problem, White squares in terminal windows SYMPTOMS: Parts of the terminal window appears as white squares. CAUSE: Your Windows installation is probably using an old version of the Windows system file CTL3DV2.DLL. SOLUTION: Rename file CTL3DV2.DLL located in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ directory to CTL3DV2.OLD. Copy CTL3DV2.DLL version 2.31 on MNM DEMO installation disk 1 to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ directory. 2) Graphical problem, Terminal windows larger than screen SYMPTOMS: The terminal windows do not fit into the screen. CAUSE: Your Windows installation is probably using a 640x480 display driver in combination with large fonts. MNM DEMO is optimized for small fonts.

SOLUTION: Install another display driver using small fonts or Windows standard VGA driver. Use installation program INSTALL.EXE, located in the WINDOWS directory, to change display driver. 3) General Protection Fault in module MGAX64.DRV SYMPTOMS: MNM DEMO causes General Protection Fault when the terminal list is opened with New, Open, Scan or Scan Local. CAUSE: Your computer is probably equiped with a Matrox Millenium video adapter that has the Bitmap acceleration feature enabled. SOLUTION: Disable the Bitmap acceleration feature in the MGA Control panel, Advanced setup dialog. 4) Log function not working SYMPTOMS: No Alarm-, Performance- or AGC logs stored in the database. CAUSE: An old version of the database system file WBTRCALL.DLL is probably stored in the WINDOWS directory. MNM DEMO installs corresponding file in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ directory. SOLUTION: Rename the file WBTRCALL.DLL located in the WINDOWS directory to WBTRCALL.OLD. Warning, this might effect the application which originally installed WBTRCALL.DLL in the WINDOWS directory. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PROBLEM REPORT If you have any problems with this program please fill in the MINI-LINK Failure Report in the MINI-LINK MNM, MSM, MIM Operation Manual and send it to the address written on the report, or contact your Ericsson representative. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 1997-11-27
