Issue ID: AS400494E0001
Date: September 26, 2002


The information in this article applies to:
  • 494E Software (3.91G)

SYMPTOMS
  • The 494 Controller will occasionally lock up with software errors 720||17 FF3900 or 720||17 FF40504 on the front panel when the AS/400 subsystems are brought down and back up again, while performing AS/400 backups.
  • OS/2 Client Access file transfer fails when transferring from AS/400 to the PC. DOS Client Access works OK.
  • While printing to an IBM IPDS 4224 printer the 494E will frequently send an outstanding status of signal type (C9 00 03 02 33), to the host which requires the user to respond to a message to continue printing.
  • Clicking mouse button on some EUI applications would cause the 494E to lock up.
  • Screen updates on some AS/400 applications would cause screen flickering on ECB displays.
  • Cursor would not change position when moving from one screen to the next.
  • 494E would occasionally reporte 720|| 16 F6B400 on front panel when configured for MPTN over Frame Relay.
  • 494E locked up when trying to bring up SNA over Frame Relay controller. AS/400 was repeatedly sending NULL XIDs.
