4315.0. "IMPM and FCL crash with NetPOD AM T1.0.0 ?" by HERON::PATEL_A (LoLo-AQIC-I82Q-B4IP, - LMF) Thu Dec 24 1992 10:07

    I am unable to get the TEC AM to run properly...
    I have installed the AM and the netprof software I recieved on a tape
    from TEC, the AM is T1.0.0 (the netprof software seems to be a demo
    kit)
    
    Register of a NetPOD works regardless of a valid address being
    supplied.
    
    The IMPM crashes with ACvio, and the FCL also crashes when you do any
    function using the netpod AM, any help appreciated...

I have the same problem. I think the problem is that this version of the POD AM
is not suitable for your DECmcc version.

The version I have from the POD AM is:

-        Image Identification Information
-
-                image name: "MCC_NETPOD"
-                image file identification: "DECMCC T1.2.4"
-                link date/time:  1-MAY-1992 18:11:23.13
-                linker identification: "05-05"

I think you (and me too) need a new version of the POD AM.



Kindest regards,

4315.4POD registration and ACCVIOLARVAE::POETTMon Jan 04 1993 12:2312
    Amrit,
    
    I've had the same problem on our system. I've spoken to Mentec and it 
    appears that the ACCVIO occurs if the POD does not register itself
    correctly. To check registration do a Directory under the Operations
    menu of MCC and you should see the POD's Ethernet address. If not, your
    registration of the POD has failed, and whatever you do causes an ACCVIO.
    
    Regards,

    I don't know if this will help, but the folks that produce Network
    Professor had sent my customer the Netpod AM and it also crashes under
    V1.2 and V1.2.3.  The reason supplied to my customer was that the
    Netpod AM was linked against T1.2.7 and never re-linked against V1.2. 
    That version that then shipped and of course we had gotten the SSB
    release and upgraded.  The situation was identified about three months
    ago and has not yet been resolved.  Be mindful that this info comes
    from my customer and not directly from Technically Elite (which makes
    it heresay from my point of view).

    Amrit,
    
    From the IMPM if you do a directory on a POD that has not registered
    (although when adding from the toolbox all seems to have worked) you
    only see the 'Name =' and no Ethernet address rather like what you are
    seeing from the FCL interface. You should see both for a POD that has
    registered OK.
    
    The contact at Mentec is Mick Hogan, Tel. 353 12 858444 
    
    Regards,

4315.8NetPOD works with MCC V1.2.(.3) but not with MCC T1.3.0COL01::WELZELUwe Welzel, NIS, CologneTue Jan 05 1993 09:5827
Hello Amrit,

the problem can be solved via a correct registration in DECmcc (re.7). This means,
you have to register (and register...) again the Pod until you see the hardware 
address using the Directory command in DECmcc.

This bug is known to Mentec (Mick Hogan) and they will fix this problem in the 
release which becomes available this month (perhaps in the next days).

But in addition there is a problem with the NETPODAM T1.0.0 and DECmcc T1.3.0.
When you try to get a statistic from the Netpod via

MCC> show netpod netpod1 all statistic

DECmcc returns the error message

%MCC-E-INV_IN_ENTITY, software error: invalid in_entity (input entity) parameter

Other functions as 

MCC> show netpod netpod1 all chara 

works without problems.

I've reported this problem to Mentec (Mick Hogan) and they will work on it. 

Best regards Uwe
