Patch Name: PHNE_18720 Patch Description: s700_800 10.20 2.40/2.40.01/2.40.02 ACC HDLC NRM Patch Creation Date: 99/06/18 Post Date: 99/09/10 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 s800: 10.20 Products: Z7416AA APZ Filesets: ACC-HDLCNRM.ACC-HDLCNRM-FW Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHNE_18720 Symptoms: PHNE_18720: SR None / DTS TPO0h01967 Some ports on some 8-port cards fail to come up in X.21 mode. SR None / DTS TPO0h02414 A customer would like to be able to configure the frame protocol buffer transmit timer in the same way timers are configured in HDLC-LAPB. A problem exists at baud rates of 1200 and below. A full buffer of data (238 bytes) will be cut short when the 1 second transmit timeout expires. SR None / DTS TPO0h02504 With the baud rate incorrectly configured as 64,000 while the actual line speed is 9600, transmitted frames can be cut short and joined together. SR None / DTS TPO0h02773 Some ports on some cards do not work properly in X.21 mode on the 8-port NIO and EISA cards. Some of these failures occur just after a card reset, and recover after some 10 - 30 seconds. Other ports fail all the time. The failure appears to be the port detecting the CTS and/or DCD signals missing. PHNE_15353: SR 4701391862 / DTS TPO0h01966 No current method to determine hardware revision PHNE_14055: SR None / DTS TPO0h01833 8-channel NIO card crashes, with the use of the frame protocol and hdlcabm protocol together on the same port. SR None / DTS TPO0h01640 2 channel ACC card transmits a bad frame at the beginning of link setup. Defect Description: PHNE_18720: TPO0h01967 Change to ensure that X.21 is disabled for the Z7200A Rev.A card only. Change particularly focused at the Z7400A EISA cards to ensure that Rev.A cards are not disabled from X.21 configuration. This corrects the X.21 configuration problem with all cards. TPO0h02414 The transmit timeout is fixed at 1 second which is not enough to allow the complete transmission of a full buffer (238 bytes) at 1200 baud or less. The frame module now sets the timeout according to the configured baud rate on the port. Baud rate Tx timeout (x100ms) 300 136 600 69 1200 35 2400 18 4800 10 9600 6 >9600 4 These timeouts allow approximately double the necessary time for the maximum of 252 bytes to be transmitted. 252 bytes is the maximum number of bytes to be transmitted because that is the maximum which can be held in one ACC buffer. TPO0h02504 This is due to an enhancement that was made for defect TPO0h02414. The transmit timeout used at level-1 was shortened for baud rates as high as 64000. Because incorrect baud rate configurations can lead to this problem, part of the changes made for TPO0h02414 have now been backed out. The minimum timeout used is now 1 second which will allow for typical incorrect configurations. TPO0h02773 The Sipex chips (line drivers) when placed in RS422 mode (balanced signaling mode used for X.21) leave some unused TTL output pins in an unknown state. These pins are used for the CTS signal when the Sipex chip is in RS232 mode. The firmware was reading the state of the CTS signal - and the ISCC chips were configured to react to this signal. This problem was not detected before because the usual state of these Sipex pins signal that CTS is up. On some Sipex chips, this signal is down, or is down and then comes up after a short period of time after being put into RS422 mode. The firmware has been changed to ignore the CTS signal when in X.21 mode. Also the ISCC chips are configured to also ignore changes in the CTS and DCD signals. The firmware code still checks the DCD signal - which matches the X.21 Indicate signal, so the firmware still can detect a cable disconnect. Note: There is no problem in ignoring the (internal) CTS signal - as it does not map to any signal in X.21. PHNE_15353: SR 4701391862 / DTS TPO0h01966 Enhancement to detect hardware revisions of ACC cards. A standard interface has been defined to identify hardware revisions of all ACC cards. The 'mx' command of zmntr has been enhanced to include the display of the hardware revision. PHNE_14055: SR None / DTS TPO0h01833 Firmware failures with FRAME and HDLCABM concurrently in use.

Back up your system before installing a patch. 2. Login as root. 3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory. 4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch: cd /tmp sh PHNE_18720 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHNE_18720.depot By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/patch/PHNE_18720. If you do not wish to retain a copy of the original software, you can create an empty file named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE. WARNING: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the patch cannot be deinstalled. Please be careful when using this feature. It is recommended that you move the PHNE_18720.text file to /var/adm/sw/patch for future reference. To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the tape drive, use the command: dd if=/tmp/PHNE_18720.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: SUBSYSTEM_SHUT After installing this patch, the ACC subsystem must then be stopped and restarted using zmasterd in order to download the new firmware.
