DSPU and PU Passthrough Available in SNA Workstation Product

• 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. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
