Issue:
What has to be done to the Perle controllers before upgrading the AS/400
Cause:
Twinax devices will not activate beyond the “Vary On Pending” state.
Solution:
In versions V4R4 and up of OS/400 IBM has made some modifications to their MPTN (AnyNet) TCP/IP implementation. Using the current Perle controller software levels these changes do not affect the functionality or performance of any Perle controller utilizing the MPTN feature. However, using previous controller software twinax devices will not activate beyond the "Vary On Pending" state. To ensure a smooth transition, all customers using the MPTN feature need to upgrade their Perle controllers to the latest software levels before upgrading to OS/400 .
Controller Type Software Version for MPTN under OS/400 V5R 1,V5R2,V5R3 or higher
594e V5.10 or higher
594T V5.10 or higher
494E V3.91 only
