EPICenter Release Note
26
Distributed Server Mode
Cannot launch distributed server, incorrect password sent
Distributed Server mode: when you attempt to launch a remote distributed server, the incorrect
password is sent, so the auto login fails. (PD3-63873601)
General—Client
Auto-save is on by default when the EPICenter server starts up
When the EPICenter server starts up it syncs all devices, and the auto-save feature is enabled by default.
To avoid having auto-save function on your devices, you can disable it through the server properties in
EPICenter Administration. If you do not want auto-save to take effect at all, you should disable it before
you add your devices to the EPICenter. You can do this through the server properties in EPICenter
Administration. (PD2-204103816)
Message about EPICenter’s digital signature appears twice
When logging in to the EPICenter server, a dialog box indicating that the EPICenter application’s digital
signature could not be verified may appear twice. (PD3-139718617)
Multibyte-encoded characters display incorrectly in EPICenter Client
If you create a device group that includes multibyte-encoded characters (such as Japanese characters) in
its name, the device group name may not display correctly in EPICenter. The EPICenter Client does not
support character sets that use multibyte encoding. (PD4-314415318)
General—Server
Traps may be dropped if the trap rate becomes excessive
In order to be able to reliably handle trap storms from a single or multiple devices, EPICenter limits its
trap processing to 20 traps every 28 seconds from an individual device, and a total of 275 traps every 55
seconds system-wide. Any traps that occur beyond these limits are discarded, but will be noted in the
log.txt file. If a sufficiently long burst of traps occurs, some of them may be dropped.
Exceeding the first limit (>20 traps in 28 seconds for a single device) is rare. However, if you are
managing a large number of devices, it is possible to exceed the total (275) limit. (PD3-103525231)
MAC FDB polling error occurs if port has a port string configured
The EPICenter FDB Poller cannot retrieve FDB data for a port that has been configured with a port
string. The poller will report an invalid port error. To enable the FDB poller to retrieve data on the port,
you must remove the port string. (PD3-38906968, PD3-36743184)
