1.6.0 Release Notes for Remote Gateway 9100 Series and RLC 5
Standard 1.0
What’s new in release 1.6.0?
This is a Remote Gateway 9100 Series minor release that includes the following:
Hardware upgrade
The Remote Gateway 9115 and Digital Telephone External IP Adapter
units are receiving a component hardware upgrade. All Remote Gateway
9115 releases prior to and including NTDR77BC-04 and all Digital
Telephone External IP Adapter releases prior to and including
NTDE02BC-04 include a NetSilicon Net5 and Net10 (nicknamed “Five
and Dime”) processor. This Five and Dime processor is no longer being
manufactured. Therefore, Nortel is replacing this processor with a new
NetSilicon Net40 processor. This hardware upgrade is effective with
Remote Gateway 9115 release NTDR77BC-05 and above as well as Digital
Telephone External IP Adapter release NTDE02BC-05 and above.
Performance and functionality remain the same across the all units.
Note: Only the Remote Gateway 9115 and Digital Telephone External IP
Adapter units are impacted by this hardware upgrade. No other Remote
Gateway 9100 Series products are receiving a hardware upgrade at this
time. This hardware upgrade is not due to any known defects with the Five
and Dime processor. Nortel is undertaking this hardware upgrade to extend
the life of the Remote Gateway 9115 and Digital Telephone External IP
Adapter units.
New Users
: Once Nortel exhausts the inventory of Remote Gateway 9115
and Digital Telephone External IP Adapter units that contain the Five and
Dime processor, all subsequent shipments will contain the Net40 processor.
When performing a firmware upgrade, review the release number on the
bar code on the back of the Remote Gateway 9115 and Digital Telephone
External IP Adapter unit(s) you receive. Upgrade your unit using the
appropriate firmware upgrade file. Refer to “Upgrade file names for this
release” on page 12 to determine the appropriate file to use.

performing a firmware upgrade, review the release number on the bar code
on the back of the existing Remote Gateway 9115 and Digital Telephone
External IP Adapter unit(s). Upgrade your unit using the appropriate
firmware upgrade file. Refer to “Upgrade file names for this release” on
page 12 to determine the appropriate file to use.

32-port (double-slot) RLC NTDR71xx supported in slot 1 or 2 in the main chassis
