All
PPPoE In Session
message not
syncing to AP
(10385)
Under some conditions, occasionally an SM establishes a
PPPoE session successfully and correctly displays PPPoE In
Session on the SM’s Home => General Status page, but the AP
does not show the SM in a PPPoE session on the AP’s Home
=> Session Status page.
Workaround: If in doubt about the status of a PPPoE session to
an SM, check the SM’s Home => General Status page.
All
Anomalous Event
Log messages
associated with
NTP server
(10402)
Starting with Release 9.4, some Event Log messages were
added to aid debug of NTP server issues. If you have configured
an NTP server IP Address on the AP’s Configuration => Time
page, you may get “zero delay no update necessary” messages
in the Event Log. The message can mean either the NTP server
did not respond (in which case the message wording should be
different), or the NTP server did respond but there was no time
difference from the previous NTP message and no display
update was needed (in which case it is an extraneous error
message that can be ignored). Currently there is no way to tell
from the message which case is indicated.
Workaround: Ignore the “zero delay no update necessary”
message and continue to use previous methods for debugging
NTP server issues.
All
ARP table shows
00-00-00-00-00-00
for the NAT WAN
interface (9711)
The SM’s Statistics => ARP page shows a physical address of
00-00-00-00-00-00 in the NAT WAN ARP Table in error. The
correct physical address for the IP address is shown in the
Public RF NAT Table further down on the page.
All
No SNMP support
for Translation
Table (10053)
OIDs do not exist for the data on the SM’s Statistics =>
Translation Table page and therefore the data is not retrievable
using SNMP. (For background, the Translation Table is
associated with Translation Bridging and only displays data
when Translation Bridging is enabled at the AP.)
All
No SNMP support
for counters on
Scheduler page
(10595)
OIDs do not exist for the data on the Statistics => Scheduler
page and therefore the data is not retrievable using SNMP. (The
Scheduler page appears on every module type - AP, SM, and
BH.)
All
Prizm 3.1 cannot
change LED Panel
Mode.
(9764)
Prizm 3.1 cannot set the LED Panel Mode to Revised Mode.
LEDs are in Legacy Mode by default.
Workaround: Set LED Panel Mode using the GUI.
PMP 100
Downlink
broadcast traffic
on FSK radios can
exhibit packet loss
(9492)
Broadcast Repeat Count on the AP’s Configuration => Radio
page should not be set to 0. Use either 1 or 2 repeats.
Workaround: When using applications such as broadcast video
that make significant use of downlink broadcast packets, set the
parameter to 1. Otherwise, in most cases, leave the parameter
set to the default of 2.
This issue has been resolved for OFDM radios, but can still
affect FSK radios running Release 9.4.2.
