SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
Remote LANVIEW/Windows 2.06 requires DOS Ver. 3.3 or greater and Microsoft
Windows Ver. 3.1 to operate.  Microsoft Windows is not included with the 
Remote LANVIEW/Windows package.   Remote LANVIEW/Windows 2.06 is not 
compatible with Microsoft Windows version 3.0.  Cabletron Ethernet Packet 
Driver Ver. 4.00.03 or higher.  Cabletron Token Ring Packet Driver Ver. 
4.00.07 or higher.

Note:	Remote LANVIEW/Windows requires a Network Interface Card that 
supports the FTP Packet Driver specification Ver. 1.09 (Cabletron Systems 
only supports their own DNI card Packet Driver and does not assume 
responsibility nor provide support for any other Packet Drivers.) If you 
have not already done so, you need to install the FTP Packet Driver in 
either the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file. 


INSTALLATION
All maps (*.OV*) and routing tables (*.TBL) that you were using with prior 
versions of RL/W should be saved before you delete the old version of RL/W 
and all its associated directories.

NEW FEATURES
To install Remote LANVIEW/Windows 2.06, you must use the Microsoft Window's
3.1 File Run procedure on the setup.exe executable file on RL/W Disk 1. 
You can not install version 2.06 without running Microsoft Windows. 
Be sure to review Chapter 2 of the Remote LANVIEW/Windows for the 
Cabletron Systems' Station Software User's Manual for complete 
installation procedures.

Remote LANVIEW/Windows now incorporates the MIB Importer. You must exit 
Remote LANVIEW/Windows to compile a MIB into the database.  It is important
to note than both applications will not run simultaneously and one must be 
closed in order to launch the other.
RMON support exists for the EMME, MRXI-22/24 and TRXI-22/24/42/44.  Ethernet
RMON groups supported include Statistics, History, Alarm, Event, Host, 
HostTopN and Matrix.  Token Ring RMON groups supported include Statistics, 
Alarm, Event, Ring Station and Ring Station statistic groups.
The Cabletron Enterprise Dot5 MIB has been added to support the TRMM, 
TRMMIM, and TRXI devices.  Token Ring devices which do not support the 
Cabletron Enterprise Dot5 MIB will also be supported.
New devices that are supported include Cabletron's SEHI, TRXI, and ETWMIM.

KNOWN ANOMALIES
1.	The TRMM and TRMMIM (V. 2.00.00 firmware) will only manage 1 ring.  
Management support for additional rings is not available.
2.	If you add an icon from the Templates window, but cancel out of the
Describe dialog box that appears, the MMAC, IRBM, and TRMM icons will remain
in the map in a blue condition (unknown - because of no description).
3.	If a TRBMIM exists in a chassis with a TRMM, MIM's to the left of 
the TRBMIM cannot be managed remotely.
4.	Alarm threshold traps for Token Ring Management modules are not 
decoded.  Trap code documentation will be made available via Cabletrons 
BBS and on Compuserve.
5.	Non-Vendor enterprise specific traps are not supported.
6.	The Telnet option under the Utilities menu will pop into a Windows 
Telnet application.  Non-Windows Telnet applications are not supported.
7.	The EMME Status Window will display all 4 power supplies as green 
in an MMAC5 with two power supplies installed.  The MMAC5 only supports 2 
power supplies and treats the PS-X icons as pairs.  If the PSM is pulled, 
two PS-X icons will turn red.
8.	When discovering FDMMIM (V. 3.00.00) it will return an IRM board 
type, and will not be added to the map correctly which is firmware related.
9.	Traps received from devices which use the Repeater rev4 MIB will 
return the OID not the type code.
10.	When discovering IP devices across a router which has Proxy ARP 
enabled and a default gateway has been assigned, the list displayed will 
indicate that every device in the specified range has been discovered.  
The router is making the assumption that it can contact any valid IP address
in the range using the default gateway.
11.	The Generic SNMP icon will receive a reception failure for PC's 
with multiple interfaces if the monitored interface of the device has an 
instance ID greater than 1 and a request is made to that device for 
statistics.  This can be corrected if the ID is equal to 1 (i.e. slot 1).
12.	There is no UPS Support for the MRXI-24.  This will be available 
in future versions of firmware.
13.	The RMON Event Log "Description" field is truncated.
14.	Applications which are spawned from Remote LANVIEW/Windows such as 
RMON and MIB Tree will not be terminated when exiting from Remote 
LANVIEW/Windows.  All auxiliary applications must be closed before starting
another Remote LANVIEW/Windows session.
15.	New matrix tables created in the RMON Utility show the owner as 
"unknown owner", instead of "ctron-lanview<ip address>".
