2558.0. "DEChub V4.0 firmware loses hub settings" by STRWRS::KOCH_P (It never hurts to ask...) Wed Jul 26 1995 00:59

    
    I'm having a peculiar problem with V4.0 of the hub firmware. I'm a
    System Engineer who carries a hub around for customer demos. I've
    noticed since I've upgraded to V4.0 of the firmware that the settings
    on my DEChub go away when the hub is powered down for a while. This did
    NOT happen with V3.1. Can someone explain why this happenning?
    
    I've lost my IP addresses and most recently my defined LANs were gone
    when I powered it back up after about a week.

    It would be easier to tell if you showed us your errorlog entries
    for the hub. 
    
    Since you said it didn't happen with v3.1 I assume you do all the right
    things such as power the hub down after waiting 15 seconds after the
    last change to the hub, power down before removing modules, make sure
    the exact same modules go in the exact same slots when you set up
    before the next powerup, etc. (that's for lan connections not IP
    addresses, they should always be there).

    Ok, I'll try that sequence and see what happens. When I was running
    V3.1, no matter what I did, the IP address stayed set and the LANs were
    there, although the connections went away because I didn't always put
    them in the same slots.
