v4.50 (Current Version)
1. Known Issues:
- 3500 rack config needs administrative permissions to browse the network. The user can still
connect to a rack via Ethernet if they know the IP address without running as an administrator,
but to browse the network the user needs to run rack config as an administrator. To do this,
right click on the rack config shortcut and click Run As Administrator.
- When installing 3500 rack config onto a 64-bit operating system, the Comm. Gateway Port Test
Utility and RIM Host Port Test Utility will not be installed, and are unavailable for use.
- 3500 Rack config has a requirement to use the 2.0 .NET framework; When installing onto windows XP
32-bit or Windows Server 2003, rack config will check for this pre-requisite and ask to install it
before continuing with the 3500 rack config installation. On the Windows server 2008, Windows Vista,
and Windows 7 operating systems, the pre-requisite of 2.0 .NET framework comes pre-installed. If the
user manually removes this from their operating systems, we have noticed that the rack config
installation tool will not ask to install the pre-reqs. The 2.0 .NET framework is only needed for
the TDI crash file feature.
- 3500 Rack config does not install the pre-req 2.0 .NET framework on windows XP 64-bit correctly.
The 2.0 .NET framework is only needed for the TDI crash file feature.
- The 3500 rack configuration program is subject to the KB 2396756 issue that Microsoft has in their
Windows 7 operating system. The issue is caused by incorrectly set DPI setting files (MS Sans Serif
specifically) that causes the text on the screen in rack configuration to become unreadable in
places. Microsoft has outlined a workaround for the issue on their support site. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2396756 for more details and information.
- The 3500 Rack Configuration software is only designed for English operating system using the English
display component. We recommend that you only use the 3500 rack configuration software on this computer
setup and have not tested the software on other configurations.
