| Kam,
First, by exchanging the DECagent instead of upgrading your existing one you
no longer have the configuration information (modules, communities, etc.) that
you had with the old module. This information is retained in non-volatile
storage on the module and would have been retained if you had upgraded the old
module. Now you have a "fresh" module which means you have to configure those
devices/communities again.
Second, the devices you are talking about, the DECserver 90L/L+, are
undiscoverable modules. Since these had to be manually configured with HUBwatch
(or via the console if you were running V1.x firmware in your old DECagent) they
will not be detected by the new firmware (they were not detected by the old
firmware either). This is all clearly documented in the DECagent manual and
release notes.
V2.1.3 of the DECagent 90 firmware contains many new performance-enhancing
features, a much-improved polling mechanism and support for new devices.
Unfortunately, some of these new features came at the expense of some of the old
convenience features such as the console configuration capabilities.
Would you care to elaborate on why you were unable to upgrade your old
DECagent?

| Note 1736 is the discussion on our attempts to upgrade the flash in our
DECagent 90.
We're trying to move to 'tcpip' on our PCs so that we can run HUBwatch,
which is the preferred choice for management. We haven't been able to
accomplish this because we need connect to systems running DECnet only.
Read the DECagnet 90 but no close enough. Read introduction today. Am
printing the release notes now.
