1. You can now open the Conﬁguration view for HubSyn5DNxxx from its OPR icon.

2. Setting a security string for a HubSyn5xxx model now prevents users without permission

from accessing all SPECTRUM views.

Problem 1: SynOptics only counts Good Frames when monitoring Ethernet traffic. As the

number of frames with errors goes up, the number of Good Frames goes down, and

this directly affects the Load value in the Port, Segment, Cluster, and Attachment

Performance Views.

Solution: This is an Agent problem. Users will need to evaluate the %Errors in the

Performance views and know that when the %Errors goes up, the Load displayed

does not reflect the actual load on the Ethernet segment.

Problem 2: In the Configuration view of the HubSyn5xxx models, the Chassis Contact and

Chassis Location MIB objects should be read-write on the device. However, the

device cannot be set through SNMP.

Solution: The objects can be set using local management and the values will appear in the

view. This problem will be fixed in a future release.

Problem 3: Opening certain SPECTRUM views may cause link error messages to appear in the

SpectroGRAPH window. These messages will not affect the operation of

SPECTRUM.

Solution: This problem will be fixed in a future release.
