* VERSION INFORMATION *
***********************
These release notes are for version 1.01 of the WEB management
server.

To determine the version number of the existing software, 
look at the first line that the web server prints after it starts.
Alternatively, highlight the web_mgt.exe filename using the file
manager, and use the file->properties pull down menu to view the
version number.

This release supports the following drivers:
ATMworks 350 NT (v 3.00 only)
ATMworks 351 NT (v 1.03 and higher only)

***************************
* SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS *
***************************

The WEB-based management tool provides local and remote 
users with read/write access to the configuration data 
for Digital ATM NICs. This implies that a local or remote 
station could disable any ATM network connection which is 
using a Digital ATM NIC. If this is an unacceptable risk, 
do not install this tool. Security will be added in a 
subsequent release.

**************
* KNOWN BUGS *

  Later driver versions require WEB management server version 1.02

  running Windows NT v 4.0 with service pack 1 or 2.  This

  management server, no adapter(s) will be managable on the main

***************
* LIMITATIONS *

These limitations will be addressed in future Web 
Management releases.

  the WEB server when the system reboots.

- There are no security provisions for preventing unauthorized 
  remote clients from accessing the WEB server.

- Any changes that you make to the configuration are "volatile".
  When the system reboots, these changes are no longer in effect.
