ComOS 3.7.1AP.5 Release NoteIntroductionThe Lucent Technologies ComOS(R) 3.7.1AP.5 software release is now available for the PortMaster(R) ISDN Office Router AP models OR-U-AP and OR-ST-AP. This release is provided at no charge to all PortMaster customers. This release note documents commands and features added to the OR-U-AP and OR-ST-AP since the most recent printing of the PortMaster Office Router Hardware Installation Guide. Note - You must use PMconsole(TM) 3.5.3 when upgrading to ComOS 3.7.1AP.5; see "Upgrade Instructions" below. If you are running Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0, you must use PMconsole for Windows 3.5.1.4. If you prefer, you can use the Amber 1.1b2 Open Beta to upgrade. Read "Upgrade Instructions" thoroughly before upgrading. ContentsNew Features in ComOS 3.7.1AP.5OSPF is now supported. The set u-law and set a-law commands are no longer available. The hardware now detects whether the unit has a U or an ST interface and sets the appropriate encoding method for a-law or u-law. "Additional call offering" is now supported if provided by the Telco. If both B channels are in use when an inbound call comes in, the Office Router will terminate one of the data channels and allow the voice call to go through and ring the phone plugged into the POTS port. Bugs Fixed in ComOS 3.7.1AP.5The following problems have been fixed in 3.7.1AP.5 The tone amplitude for u-law and a-law is now lower. A call that specifies an invalid Multiple Subscriber Network (MSN) is now rejected. In the previous version, when an incorrect MSN was specified, the call still got connected. As a result, subsequent calls with the correct MSN did not establish. This problem has been fixed. In the previous version, occasional out-of-sequence packets caused sessions to be disconnected. This problem has been fixed. Upgrade InstructionsWARNING! YOU MUST USE PMINSTALL VERSION 3.5.3 OR LATER TO PERFORM THIS UPGRADE! If you are upgrading using PMconsole for Windows, you must use PMconsole for Windows version 3.5.1.4 or later. If you prefer, you can use Amber 1.1b2 Open Beta to upgrade. NOTE! If the upgrade fails, do NOT reboot! Contact Lucent InterNetworking Systems Technical Support without rebooting. The upgrade does not affect your stored configuration in the PortMaster. If you want to back up your PortMaster configuration before upgrading, choose the Backup PortMaster button in PMconsole for Windows, or run pmreadconf on UNIX. The pmreadconf utility takes three arguments: the hostname or IP address of the PortMaster, the administrative password for the PortMaster, and the name of the file to place the configuration in. If you ever need to reload the configuration, move the backup file into the /usr/portmaster/data directory and run pminstall to reload it. Here is an example:
cd /usr/portmaster pmreadconf Pmname Pmpassword data/Pmname.conf chmod 600 data/Pmname.conf The installation software can be retrieved by FTP from ftp://ftp.livingston.com/pub/le/software/System/Tarfile.tar.Z. Replace System and Tarfile.tar.Z with the names of the files. You can retrieve the upgrade image at the same time. The following example shows an administrator retrieving the SunOS pminstall and ComOS 3.7.1AP.5 upgrade image: umask 22 mkdir /usr/portmaster cd /usr/portmaster ftp ftp.livingston.com (Enter anonymous) (Enter your email address; it will not echo.) binary cd /pub/le/software/sun4 get pm_3.5.3_sun4.tar.Z pm.tar.Z cd /pub/le/upgrades get or_3.7.1AP.5 quit uncompress pm.tar.Z tar xvf pm.tar rm pm.tar mv or_3.7.1AP.5 data pminstall PMconsole 3.5.1.4 for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 is available on ftp://ftp.livingston.com/pub/le/software/pc/pmw3514.exe in a self-extracting file. Transfer that file via FTP, run the file to install PMconsole for Windows, move the upgrade file into the data directory, run PMconsole for Windows, and click on the Upgrade icon. PMconsole for the following operating systems can be found under ftp://ftp.livingston.com/pub/le/software/ bsdi/pm_3.5.3_BSDOS_2.0.tar.Z BSD/OS 2.0 and 2.1 sgi/pm_3.5.3_IRIX_5.2.tar.Z SGI Irix 5.2 linux/pm_3.5.3_Linux.tar.Z Linux 1.2.13 ELF rs6000/pm_3.5.3_RS6000_4.1.tar.Z RS6000 AIX 4.1 alpha/pm_3.5.3_alpha_T3.0.tar.Z Digital Alpha OSF/1 T3.0 hp/pm_3.5.3_hp9000_10.01.tar.Z HP 9000 HP/UX 10.01 sun4/pm_3.5.3_sun4.tar.Z SunOS 4.1.4, 5.5.1 on Sparc sun86/pm_3.5.3_sun86_5.5.tar.Z Solaris x86 2.5.1 pc/pmw3514.exe Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0
