Technical Notice

ARN Diagnostic Image File

This notice applies onl y to ARN router s that cont ain the Eth ernet 10/1 00 Mb base module.
If your ARN router contains an Ethernet 10BASE-T or token ring base module, you can
disregard this not ice.

Upgrading the Diagnostic Image File

The ARN Ethernet 10/100 Mb base module contains the latest version (2.02) of the
arndiag.exe image file. BayRS Version 12.10 software cont ains an earlier version (2.00) of
this same image. If you install BayRS Version 12.10 on this base module, make sure that
you do not overwrite Version 2.02 of the arndiag.exe image file.

For information about how to upgrade an ARN to BayRS Version 12.10 without affecting
the existing arndiag.exe image file, see BayRS Version 12.10 Document Change Notice
and Upgrading Routers from Version 7-11.xx to Version 12.00.

Running Diagnostics

Part No. 302154-A Rev. 00

Issuing the Technician Interface diag command for a base module (using arndiag.exe
Version 2.02) may cause collisions on the Ethernet segment to which the Ethernet 10/100
interface con nects. If you ha ve already con fi gured th e interf ace, th ese colli sions stop when
the device completes its diagnostic tests. If you have not configured the interface, these
collisions continue until you do.

Bay Networks recommends that you issue the Technician Interface
when troubleshooting a problem and that, before issuing this command, you take steps to
minimize the affect these collisions may have on your Ethernet segment.
