Please contact Aviat Technical Support if validation is required for direct upgrade from earlier
software versions to this release.
ProVision Support - This release is supported by ProVision Element Manager System software
version 7.2.2. Note earlier versions will also function, but if any new features are added such as new
alarms these will not show.
Eclipse Hardware Supported
The following table details the hardware that is supported by this software and corresponding part
numbers. It is still possible to software load to a terminal with a non-supported INU or ODU
attached, but the software in the module will not be updated. For example modules such as RAC10
will function without problem after loading this release, even though no new code exists in this
software version for these old modules.

Known Issues
The following table lists known issues that have not been fixed in this release.
* added in this release
Ref # Issue Description
IRU 600: No Power Supply Input Failure alarm on the IRU 600 high power RFU. A TX
Power Failure alarm will occur if a valid DC input is not present on the RFU front panel DC
ES-13267 input connector, when the correct description should be a input power failure. This may
result in an incorrect diagnosis of the real problem. If a TX Power Failure alarm is present,
first check the RFU power supply voltage.
RAC 60/6X: Protection, Offline RAC removal is not errorless with several capacities. TDM
ES13994 traffic is hit when removing the off-line RAC with the following ETSI profiles: 7MHz,
13.75MHz and 27.5MHz.
RAC 60/6X: IRU600 30MHz/128QAM/OC3 : Protection switching times may exceed 200mS
ES-14546 approximately 2% of switching occurrences. This is caused by the specific timing of an RFU
Alarm during switch cycles. Note that the total average switching time is 25ms.
ODU 300 SP: Tx Fail alarm comes up and RAC front panel LEDs go red when placed in IF
ES-15029
Loopback with SP ODUs EQS-XX-XXXX-XXX identified by the serial number starting
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA
ES-25295
Strong Security users please note. The following four OpenSSL ciphers are now seen as
less secure than when first released and are therefore recommended not to be used:
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA
DAC GE3 Protected: After sw upgrade from 07.03.56 to 08.01.19/.20, Portal shows "Error
Merging values, Primary & Secondary do not match" in OAM tab.
Sometimes after a software upgrade, Portal may show the message "Error merging values,
ES-24201
Primary and Secondary do not match" in the OAM tab of the DAC plugin.
Workaround: To eliminate this phantom error, untick and tick the Ports in the OAM tab
without clicking the 'Send' button.
DAC GE3 : Switching times can exceed 1 second when testing protection switching using a
ES-25625*
Y Cable and pulling the on-line feed. Single feed gives superior results
DAC GE3 : Increased on-line traffic switching times when DAC GE3 port speed is set to
ES-25576*
Auto, use fixed rates if possible as they are faster
IRU600V3 :Possible to experience more than 1 second switching time on first Protection
Switch after reboot (RIPS, ODU Failure, Tx Manual Switch, Tx Mute). For subsequent
switches, it switches less than 200mS. Note only seen after a reboot or power up.
ES-25493*
Workaround is to force an initial switch if possible after a reboot or power cycle. Possible fix
planned.

SNTP client: Added support for authentication, Implemented symmetric key authentication

Strong Security users please note. The following four OpenSSL ciphers are now seen
as less secure than when first released and are therefore recommended not to be used:
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA
They are still listed in Eclipse SW and normal operation is supported when any of these
The Compact Flash (CF) card for Eclipse holds configuration, software load, and license data. It
inserts into the side of the NCC plug-in used with the INU/INUe.
New plug-in modules, such as the RAC 60, RAC 6X,DAC GE3 and NCM, CF cards with increased
memory capacity are required and in some case new NCC cards.
Prior to July 2009, 32 Mbyte was the available capacity for Eclipse use (this is the internal partition
size programmed into the CF), and all CF cards were partitioned 32 Mb regardless of the labelled
total capacity of the CF.
Since July 2009 INUs have been shipped with CF cards with a 128 Mbyte capacity (or higher),
where the labelled capacity is the available capacity for Eclipse use.
NCC cards manufactured before January 2008 do not support access to CF cards partitioned larger
than 32Mbyte.
Before installing RAC 60, RAC 6X or DAC GE3 in an existing INU you must first check to see if
a higher capacity CF card is needed, and if so, that the NCC will also support the higher
capacity CF.
When upgrading software ensure the remote end of a link is upgraded before the local end.
If Portal loses communication with an IDU 300 SP radio when changing the IP address, restart
Portal to restore communication.
Eclipse Portal Software version 5.0 includes an upgrade to Java version 6.0. This later version
of Java provides improved memory management and operational performance. It provides a fix
for occasional low memory issues that have been reported on heavily loaded systems. It is
recommended that users install Eclipse Portal 5.0 or later from the Eclipse SW Setup CD or
from the Aviat Networks Customer Online Support site at www.support.aviatnetworks.com.
The note below, seen on Portal screens, relates to this issue.
Note that this software includes open source items and as such users have a right to access
source code. Contact tony.wood@aviatnet.com for details.
Note: ATI video cards installed with a Catalyst driver set earlier than 4.9 will cause the Portal
performance page to stop working if the screen-saver activates. The workaround is to install the
latest video drivers from the video card manufacturer.
Aviat Networks encourages its customers to report problems so we can resolve them
as quickly as possible. If you encounter a technical issue, please contact us using
the information on page 2 of these Release Notes.
