Compatibility
Compatibility Across the
Wide Area Network
(WAN) link
Releases 2.5 and above of the NetRunner system (Communications Control
Module) software are compatible with the current CCM software release.
The Integration Router is WAN compatible with release 3.0 or later of the
NetRunner LAN module software. To operate properly, the LAN modules of
all Integration units, which communicate across a single WAN to the
Integration Router, must be running LAN Module software release 3.0 or
later.
Compatibility On the
LAN Segment
The Integration Router is compatible with all standard bridges, routers,
bridge/routers, and other devices that reside on the same Ethernet segment
as the Integration Router. The Integration Router is compatible with all
previous releases of NetRunner across the Ethernet segment, as well.
Compatibility in
Mixed Networks
In a LAN network containing mixed NetRunner system software releases,
the LAN module with the oldest/least performance module will govern the
overall performance and feature set of the Integration Router.
System Compatibility
For optimum Integration Router performance, MICOM recommends using
release 3.2 revision C or later system (Communications Control Module)
FEATUREPAK or FlashPak cartridge.
The network LAN code download feature of Integration Router release 6.0
requires that the NetRunner contain release 4.2 revision B or later system
(Communications Control Module) software. NetRunner units containing
earlier releases of cartridges do not support this feature.
