Operating Systems Supported

The following table details the supported Operating Systems.

Operating System Notes

Windows XP Pro (SP1) Refer to Eclipse User Manual for XP support information

Windows 2000 Pro (SP3) -

Windows NT 4.0 -

Windows 98 -

Computer Hardware Supported The following table details the minimum hardware specifications required to operate Portal.

Attributes Minimum Specifications

Processor P3, 500 MHz

RAM 256 MB

HD space (install and operate) 80 MB

Monitor adaptor SVGA

Monitor display resolution 800 x 600

Monitor colours 256

Mouse Yes 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.



Regional Settings Supported Portal supports the following locales and there are no known limitations: Albanian, Belorussian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Serbo-Croatian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Ukrainien. The following table details known regional settings limitations.

Locales Known Limitations

Arabic The calendar does not display the day of the week correctly

Chinese The date format is not consistent in event browser, the calendar does not display the day of the week correctly, and the alarms page is larger than 800 x 600 resolution

Hindi The alarms page is larger than 800 x 600 resolution

Swedish Commas are displayed instead of decimal points when entering the TR/RX spacing and TX/RX frequency. Portal will accept commas when the user enters TX/RX frequency, however it will not accept commas for the TX/RX spacing.

The workaround is to use decimal points.

Thai Alarms page is larger than 800 x 600 resolution

Turkish Some event log entries in the event browser and link history pages may not be displayed

Closed Field Issues

The following table lists field issues that have been fixed by this release.

Trouble Ticket # Issue Description

C-00093901 A RAC 40 would not reliably lock all demodulators following a power cycle or following a software download.

C-00092767 Programming a default route into the static routing did not appear to work correctly.

C-00090704 Portal allowed the user to change the TX Power outside of the actual ODU 100 power range.

C-00089917 Offline ODU 300 faults were not being displayed in Portal.



Closed Significant Issues

The following table lists significant issues that were discovered during development/testing and have been fixed by this release.

Software Type Issue Description

Embedded Portal was unable to detect hardware changes when a ODU300, ODU300 SP, or ODU 300 HP was interchanged between a single IDU or INU. The workaround was to refresh Portal.

Portal Portal notes fields in the event log displayed misleading text. An example was “Ring0 SECONDARY path wrapped because of TX path failure”, where the ‘Ring0’ displayed radio context information and not user defined information.

Portal and Embedded Compatibility History

Embedded Software Version Matching Portal Software Version

2.1.18 and later (Portal auto-version supported) 2.1.1, Build 2112 and later

2.0.44 2.0.1, Build 2018

1.0.29 1.0.1, Build 1923

0.10.31 0.10.1, Build 1660

0.10.20 0.10.1, Build 1660 or 1722

0.9.32 0.9.2, Build 1358

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.



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. Lock all units to TX/RX on the Primary and load only to the high band Secondary IDU/ODU pair

b. Keeping all units TX/RX locked on the Primary, load only to the low band Secondary IDU/ODU pair

c. Switch all units to TX/RX on the Secondary and lock them there. d. Keeping all units TX/RX locked on the Secondary, load only to the high band Primary IDU/ODU pair. e. Keeping all units TX/RX locked on the Secondary, load only to the low band Primary IDU/ODU pair f. 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.
