In order for installation of MINI-LINK Craft and Belcarra USB LAN Driver to succeed on Microsoft Windows XP and Vista, local administrator s rights must be set. 2. Vista Compliance for Basic Node and NPU Versions When connecting a service PC running any Microsoft Windows Vista versions via USB cable in MINI-LINK TN: MINI-LINK TN versions prior to TN 3.1 and TN 2.4.5 will not function with Vista connected to the USB port. If the NPU is un-configured, the Vista PC cannot be used to configure the NPU. In this case the NPU Ethernet interface is also un-configured and thus not an option. Consider using a PC with XP operative system. 3. Configuration Time for MMU units In MINI-LINK TN releases 3.3.1 to 3.3.2, MINI-LINK Craft may freeze when setting up protection on newly inserted MMU units. This operation normally takes a few minutes to complete. Workaround is to re-start MINI-LINK Craft and setup protection once again after 5 minutes. 4. Basic NE Page: Change of IP Address When changing the IP address for the node and pressing reconnect, it may take up to 15 minutes before a new log-in window is displayed. The work around is to close MINI-LINK Craft after the change of IP address. Restart MINI-LINK Craft and perform a new log-in on the node. 5. MINI-LINK Manager launch of MINI-LINK Craft. MINI-LINK Manager 7.1 cannot launch MINI-LINK Craft 2.4 (for MINI-LINK 3.3.9) and newer MINI-LINK Craft versions. The work around is to use MINI-LINK Craft 2.3 instead of newer MINI-LINK Craft versions. 6. Script error when performing SW upgrade When upgrading MINI-LINK node, containing MINI-LINK TN 4.2 SW or older SW, with MINI-LINK TN 4.2FP SW or newer SW, then a script error will occur. The script error is displayed at restart of the NPU unit. The script error does not cause any problem for the SW upgrade.
