Note: ATI video cards installed with a Catalyst driver set earlier than 4.9 will cause the Portal performance page to stop working if the screen-saver activates. The workaround is to install the latest video drivers from the video card manufacturer.

Important Notes
1. Traffic may be affected when upgrading software between two specific versions of software. Contact a Stratex Networks Technical Help desk for details, contact details are on page ii of these release notes. 2. Static routes should not be entered when using OSPF. 3. When upgrading from version 2.5.63 or earlier to version 3.0.73 or later, an interim version of software must be loaded first. The interim versions that can be used are 2.6.58, 2.8.5, 2.8.6, 2.9.51, 2.9.66, or 2.9.69. 4. Portal Help integration requires Stratex Help revision 014 or higher. Stratex Help is a standalone help program that is installed separately to Portal, it can be found on the Eclipse Setup installation CD. 5. A license upgrade requires a power cycle if the backplane type changes.
Page 8
6. A power cycle or a RAC reinsertion is required if a capacity change exceeds the license capacity size. 7. To reduce the traffic outage time during a software load of a IDU 100 1+1 protected radio the following steps should be observed:
a. b. c. d. e. f. Lock all units to TX/RX on the Primary and load only to the high band Secondary IDU/ODU pair Keeping all units TX/RX locked on the Primary, load only to the low band Secondary IDU/ODU pair Switch all units to TX/RX on the Secondary and lock them there. Keeping all units TX/RX locked on the Secondary, load only to the high band Primary IDU/ODU pair. Keeping all units TX/RX locked on the Secondary, load only to the low band Primary IDU/ODU pair Switch all units back to TX/RX auto
Stratex Networks encourages its customers to report problems so we can resolve them as quickly as possible. If you encounter a technical issue please contact us using the information on page ii of these Release Notes
