The Firmware for the LCM has been updated to resolve a sync issue that caused the OSCAR to flash on and off or to disappear when the unit was not attached to a target device. 3.0 Known Issues: 3.1 APPLIANCE: 1. COs and cascaded secondary switches occasionally lose communication via the cascade protocol. Typically due to downlevel firmware on the secondary switch. 2. 4th and 5th (mouse) buttons do not operate properly when using UCO 1.1.2. The 4th and 5th mouse buttons do work, it is just that they cannot be configured. They can be used for the default action that the USB mouse driver assigns them (4th button is the same as hitting the back button in MS Explorer; 5th button is the same as hitting the forward button in MS Explorer). 3. LCM & RCM - Losing mouse & keyboard access when hotplug on local USB port. 4. Ballistic mouse when hotplug on local port. 5. Exiting OSCAR screen saver mode returns the user directly to the OS vs. the Oscar main screen. 6. Help screens in LCM 2.0.6.3 refer to RCM instead of LCM. 7. Incorrect instructions in User Status disconnect screen for LCM and RCM. 8. Ballistic mouse occurs after performing PS/2 reset in Windows-NT Server & Workstation (SP3, SP4, SP5, SP6) with Logitech mouse driver on both the Local as well as the Digital. 9. RedHat 8.0 Target connected via UCO displays keyboard errors when the mouse is clicked. Error message: Keyboard. Can't emulate rawmode for keycode 272. 4.0 UPDATE PROCEDURE FOR CLIENT SOFTWARE: 4.1 Select the appropriate Wupdate file for your system to launch the firmware upgrade. 5.0 WEB Sites and Support Phone Number 5.1 IBM Support Web Site: http://www.pc.ibm.com/support 5.2 IBM Marketing eserver Web Site: http://www.ibm.com/eserver/xseries 5.3 If you have any questions about this update, or problems applying the update go to the following Help Center World Telephone Numbers URL: 800-IBM-SERV (800-426-7378) http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/YAST-3P2QYL.html. 5.4 IntelliStation web site: www.pc.ibm.com/intellistation 6.0 Trademarks and Notices 6.1 The following terms are trademarks of the IBM Corporation in the United States or other countries or both: IBM, NetBAY 6.2 Windows is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation. 6.3 Linux is a trademark of Linus Torvalds. 6.4 Other company, product, and service names may be trademarks or service marks of others. 7.0 Disclaimer 7.1 THIS DOCUMENT IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
