                                                                      -ii-








          2.1 Operating System Version


          The current release of the TeMIP ASCII Management Toolkit is
          available for any Digital UNIX Alpha AXP machine.
          The pre-requisite software products for the Digital UNIX version
          are:

          · OSF/1 : (OSFBASE350 and OSFX11350 subsets) Version 3.2G
          · DEC C++ Shared Library: (CXXSHRDA3xx subset)

          · Digital UNIX X.25 for Digital UNIX AXP V3.2G  (optional)
          · TeMIP Framework Basic Management System (TFRBASEV310)

          · TeMIP Framework Developer Toolkit (TFRTKV310)



          There are no new enhancements or changes for this version of the
          kit.


                                  3 Problems Fixed





          This chapter describes the problems fixed since the previous
          release of the TeMIP ASCII Management Toolkit product.


          Not Applicable.
          This version of the TeMIP ASCII Management Toolkit is needed
          because of the evolution of other TeMIP components. This version
          must be used with TeMIP V3.1.0


                                  4 Known Problems




          This chapter describes the problems known in the current release
          of the TeMIP ASCII Management Toolkit product.



          4.1  Re-establishment of TCP/IP Connection


          If the TCP/IP connection between the communication module and a
          network element is broken due to network failure or crash of the



                                                                     -iii-








          network element, the TCP protocol layer on the Digital UNIX
          machine may not recognize the connection breakdown, but instead
          believe the connection is still in the   established state; thus
          effectively preventing connection reestablishment. The
          work-around is to kill the communication process (process
          temip_ascii_comms), which is then automatically restarted.



          4.2 Warning Messages During Compilation


          Due to the strict checking performed by the C-compiler, a number
          of warning messages will be eventually produced when compiling
          code generated by lex and yacc.

          Not Applicable.
