Annex Communications Server R7.1B and Annex Host Tools R14.2 Release Notes
TCP keepalive Timers
Three new tcp_keepalive parameters have been added for the Annex,
ports and printer. The Annex parameter is the default for all TCP
connections to or from the Annex. The default setting is 120 minutes
(per RFC specifications). It is settable from 1 to 255 minutes. This
parameter is read only on boot-up, so you need to reboot the Annex
if you want to change it. The port parameter is the default for TCP
connections to or from a given port. If it is set to zero, it defaults to
the value of the annex tcp_keepalive parameter.
The printer parameter is the default for TCP connections to a given
printer port. If it is set to zero, it defaults to the value of the annex
tcp_keepalive parameter.
The Annex also does 10 retries at 75 second intervals. So this time
must be added to the tcp_keepalive setting. For example, if the timer
is set to 5 (5 seconds), the maximum time would be approximately
17.5 minutes.
Year 2000 Compliance
The R7.1B release of software is Year 2000 Compliant for Micro Annex
ELS. The R7.1 embedded image is compliant on a self boot only model
(no host tools) or in conjunction with the R14.2.24 host tools. For more
information, refer to SPR 11150 in the
Problems Resolved with this
Release
section.
Supported Platforms
The Distribution media contains binary files for most of the supported
platforms. When the script detects that there are binary files for the
host operating system, it gives you the option of installing the binary
files or loading the source code and compiling the software at a later
time. If there are no binary files available, the script loads the source
code and uses an available compiler on the host system to build the
image. If the script does not identify a compiler on your system, it
ends the installation session.
