DSPU and PU Passthrough Available in SNA Workstation Product

 Last reviewed: March 13, 1998
Article ID: Q182140
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft SNA Server, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

SNA Workstation allows the configuration of DSPU (DownStream Physical Units) and PU Passthrough connections. These features should only be available in the SNA Server product.

Microsoft SNA Workstation is a single-user version of SNA Server that supports access to SNA networks from a single Windows NT computer. SNA Workstation supports SNA connectivity from the SNA Workstation computer but does not support gateway access from a client computer.

CAUSE

The SNA Server/Workstation management functions did not include a check that would disable the Downstream and PU Passthrough "Remote End" options on the connection properties dialog box on an SNA Workstation installation.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 4.0. A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Product Support Services for more information.
