The PC must therefore NOT be configured to go into standby mode. 1.2 Multiple FarSync Adapters This version of the FarSync X.25 driver does not support adapters with devices numbered SDCI4 or higher. In addition, it does not support port D on SDCI3 (i.e. SDCI3\3). 1.3 High speed lines with the FarSync Flex Under conditions of high stress with line speeds of 512kbps or more, it is possible that the X.25 link may very occasionally reset, dropping all active calls. The link should continue afterwards without the need for intervention. 1.4 Signal states when cable unplugged If a port is configured for internal clocking, and the cable is unplugged, then the FarSync X.25 Configuration program may not necessarily report the correct modem signal states (CTS, DCD & Carrier). 1.5 RR Poll Timeout configuration The X.25 driver does not support values for the RR Poll Timeout of more than 65 seconds (although the configuration program will allow higher values to be set). 1.6 Incorrect Reporting of line control signals When an X.25 port has been created and is started with the X.25 Port Manager, the state of the line signals may be incorrect. However, if you quit and restart the X.25 port manager application, the state of the line signals will be reported correctly. 2.0 Removing FarSync X.25 To remove FarSync X.25 correctly, perform the following steps.
