Eicon WAN Services V3R2 Problems with SNA Server

 Last reviewed: November 1, 1995
Article ID: Q127740
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft SNA Server for Windows NT, versions 2.0 and 2.1

SYMPTOMS

The following problems have been observed using SNA Server 2.0 and 2.1 with an X.25 connection supported by Eicon WAN Services V3R2 (over an Eicon adapter):

  • When SNA Server is configured to autostart, it stop responding (hangs) at Windows NT start up. SNA Admin may hang indefinitely with an hourglass or clients may receive an XCLOCK status in their 3270 emulator when opening a session.
  • Problems activating PUs, or random 3270 LUs configured off an X.25 connection supported by the Eicon adapter may stop responding (hang) or fail to work when opened by an SNA Server 3270 client.
  • Problems with SNA Server error recovery when an X.25 call fails.

CAUSE

These problems occur with Eicon WAN Services V3R2 and V3R2a.

RESOLUTION

To correct these problems, update to Eicon WAN Services V3R2a, and obtain other updates to the X.25 link service (ECX25.DLL) and X.25 and HDLC protocols (HDLC.ELM, HDLCBIOS.ELM, X25.ELM, X25BIOS.ELM) from Eicon Corporation.
