Problem 15: The following devices (and possibly more) are not clearing a
link down alarm with a link up trap:
DOCIS Cable Modem; Accelar1200;StrataCom; StrataCom; STS16;
SSR245; DECGigaSwitch; MD110 PBX; ForeASX200; Host Compaq;
LanCity; Motorola MP Router; HubSyn29xx; HubUB700; 9H532-18;
HubSyn5xxx; ESXMIM; Cabletron9A000; Hub3COMSSTR_A; HubUSRMP;
UpsApc29xx; ST1000-Node; AT&T SmartHub; 9H421_12; ELS10-26;
7C04; 9E106_06; Micro-22T; 9E423_24; 9E132_15; 9E138_12; CSX200;
9G426_02; 2M46-04; 9T425_16; 6H133_37; Rtr_Bay_Wflet; HubSyn27xx;
HubCat5000; and LS3300.
Solution: This problem will be corrected in a future release of
SPECTRUM.
Problem 16: When a user is running an application against a server from
another workstation other than the one they were created on, that user will
not receive updated changes to the Preference files. This is a normal
condition. When preferences are modified from the original defaulted
values, the changes get saved to the .*prf file in the user’s home directory.
Since the file is in the user’s home directory, other users in the group are
not able to “share” the modified preference values if they are running
applications from a remote desktop.
Solution: This is a normal result of SPECTRUM security. Aprisma may
investigate a way to change preference setting to distinguish between
preconnect preferences and those preferences that get saved to the Server
in the User Group model.
Problem 17: On Windows NT, the date and time zone does not display
fully on the Performance Graph. Part of the date extends outside of the
view preventing the user from reading the date.
Solution: This problem is specific to Windows NT. To shorten time strings
such as, “Eastern Daylight Time,” set the environment variable to:
“TZ=EDT.”
