LAN Distance LD 1.1 APAR Fixes (LD11PAT.TXT) -------------------------------------------- This text file lists the APARs that are included in this ZIP file. These fixes must be applied after IP07050 or LD 1.11. Disclaimer: This package contains fixes/enhancements that have been tested; however, testing was not as extensive as testing for an official CSD. Make sure that all updated files are backed up as stated in the instructions for installing the fix modules. The following ZIP files are contained in LD11PAT.ZIP: LD11CS.ZIP - LAN Distance Connection Server fixes (8 port and greater than 8 port versions) LD11OS2.ZIP - LAN Distance OS/2 Remote fixes LD11WIN.ZIP - LAN Distance Windows Remote fixes LD11DOCS.ZIP - Additions to LAN Distance documentation LD11PIFS.ZIP - Fixes to LAN Distance Modem PIF files APAR Summary ------------ APAR: IC08043 SYMPTOMS: Unable to initialize Suprafax V32BIS modem with SUPRAFAX.PIF SOLUTION: SUPRAFAX.PIF was modified to correct this problem. This fix module should be applied to the LAN Distance workstation (OS/2 Remote, Windows Remote or Connection Server) configured to use this modem. LD11PIFS.ZIP contains the new PIF file. After copying the PIF file to the WAL directory, bring up the settings notebook, delete any modems assigned the SUPRAFAX modem type, and then reassign the SUPRAFAX modem type for the change to take affect. APAR: IC08102 SYMPTOMS: Link Statistics return codes in the Lan Distance audit file are not documented. SOLUTION: These return codes will be documented in a future release of the LAN Distance publications. In the meantime, CCI_RC.H (which contains these return codes) has been made available. LD11DOCS.ZIP contains this file. APAR: IC08292 SYMPTOMS: Problems communicating to/from a Microcom QX/4232BIS using the MICROCOM.PIF. SOLUTION: Commands in MICROCOM.PIF have been modified to correct this problem. This fix module should be applied to the LAN Distance workstation (OS/2 Remote, Windows Remote or Connection Server) configured to use this modem. LD11PIFS.ZIP contains the new PIF file. After copying the PIF file to the WAL directory, bring up the settings notebook, delete any modems assigned the MICROCOM modem type, and then reassign the MICROCOM modem type for the change to take affect. APAR: IC08386 SYMPTOMS: AMBRA Laptop (LAN Distance Windows Remote) locks up when LAN Distance is shutdown. SOLUTION: WINAMAC.SYS has been modified to correct this problem. Although, this particular problem occurred on an AMBRA Laptop, this problem may occur in different environments and have various symptoms. LD11WIN.ZIP contains this fix. APAR: IC08434 SYMPTOMS: ARTIC 8 port adapter fails to answer call from WAC on synchronous leased line. SOLUTION: SYNCLL.PIF and NODIALOG.DDF have been modified to correct this problem. After copying these files to the WAL directory, bring up the settings notebook, delete the synchronous leased line modems and reassign them. The changes WILL NOT take affect unless these steps are done. These files must be applied to the dial and answer side of the connection. LD11OS2.ZIP and LD11CS.ZIP contain the new PIF and DDF files. APAR: IC08468 SYMPTOMS: WM1008E error received when loading WINAMAC.SYS on LD Windows Remote. SOLUTION: LD11WIN.ZIP contains the fix for this APAR. APAR: IC08555 SYMPTOMS: The readme for IP07050 and LD1.11 describes a new section that can be added to the WCLLOCAL.INI for configuring the Auto LAN Streamer adapter (TOKENRINGMACS). If other token ring NIF files are added to this section, LAN Distance will configure this adapter for promiscuous mode by default. If the adapter supports source routing, then the adapter should be configured for source routing and not promiscuous mode. When an adapter is configured for promiscuous mode on the connection server then NETBEUI and all other protocols are bound to PDFH_NIF. When an adapter is configured for source routing NETBEUI is bound to xxxx_nif, PDFH_NIF and all other protocols are bound to xxxx_nif where xxxx_nif is the name added to the TOKENRINGMACS section. SOLUTION: LD11CS.ZIP contains the fix for this APAR. Steps for configuring a Token Ring driver that supports source routing: 1) Configure the token ring adapter using LAPS 2) Install LD11CS.ZIP 3) Edit the WCLLOCAL.INI file and add the following (note: this "." in xxxx.NIF is not a typo): [TOKENRINGMACS] xxxx.NIF = sourceroute 4) Reboot the machine 5) Start LAN Distance and settings. Go to the LAN/Address tab and wait until LD fills in the LAN Type and adapter fields. LAN Distance should recognize the new adapter. 6) Save settings. 7) Reboot APAR: IC08630 SYMPTOMS: LAN Distance Windows Remote configured for asynchronous leased line fails to establish a connection. "Connecting" remains as the remote's status. SOLUTION: LD11WIN.ZIP and LD11CS.ZIP contain the fixes for this APAR. Both the windows remote and the connection server must be updated. Steps: 1) Install LD11WIN.ZIP on the windows remote. 2) Install LD11CS.ZIP on the connection server. 3) Open the Settings notebook (on remote and connection server) 4) Select the MODEMS tab and delete the async leased line modem assignment (on remote and connection server) 5) Select the ASSIGN button and assign the Asynchronous Leased Line modem to the port (on remote and connection server) 6) The changes WILL NOT take place UNLESS these steps are performed APAR: IC08683 SYMPTOMS: There are 2 problems described and fixed in this apar. First, multiple attempts to logon to the LAN Distance connection server with an incorrect passphrase results in a misleading error message. For example, when maximum logon attempts is equal to 4, the user attempts to logon the 5th time and gets "MSG001: Access Denied" message instead of a message saying the account is inactive. The second problem is to make the inactive account active again, the LAN Distance security administrator must activate the user account twice. SOLUTION: LD11CS.ZIP contains the fix for this APAR. WCBSEC.DLL can be applied to the LAN Distance OS/2 Remote if security is enabled on the remote. APAR: IC08716,IC08717 SYMPTOMS: WCL0321 error message occurs when selecting to Dial from the Phonebook or "Processing Error" occurs when opening and/or making changes in the LAN Distance Settings Notebook. The WCL0321 may also occur when starting LAN Distance. SOLUTION: LD11OS2.ZIP should be applied on LAN Distance OS/2 remote workstations with this problem. LD11CS.ZIP should be applied to LAN Distance connection servers with this problem. APAR: IC08729 SYMPTOMS: Lack of information on return and error codes in LAN Distance documentation. SOLUTION: See LD11DOCS.ZIP for the following files: WCL.OS2 - OS/2 error messages WCLH.OS2 - OS/2 error message help text WCL.WIN - Windows error messages WCLH.WIN - Windows error message help text LDIST.DOC - Return codes from LDIST commands CCI_RC.H - Return codes in the audit log APAR: IC08814 (Note: This fix can only be applied to English versions of LD) SYMPTOMS: The LD Windows Remote fails to display the LD Connection Server ICON it is connected to after IP07050 has been applied and callback is being used. SOLUTION: LD11WIN.ZIP contains the fix for this APAR. This fix can only be applied to English versions of the code. APAR: IC08988 SYMPTOMS: Using auto-filtering with leased lines results in slow response times, failure to logon to the domain controller, and problems when trying to use OS2ping to reach another machine on the ring. SOLUTION: LD11CS.ZIP contains the fix for this APAR. APAR: IC09002 SYMPTOMS: With remotes dialing into the connection server, over time the connection server will start rejecting calls with a WCL0336 error. The modems connect; however, the connection server never sends data back to the remotes. The reason for this is that there are no available buffers for LAN Distance to send data because the OEM driver has not done the right processing to cause the buffers to be freed. Note that these buffers are gradually lost over time; therefore, rebooting the connection server periodically may be a temporary work around. The Stargate and Digiboard drivers must be updated as described above. Please contact Stargate and Digiboard for updated drivers. Note: This problem does not apply to ARTIC or COM ports.
