Patch Installation Instructions: 
-------------------------------- 
Refer to the Install.info file for instructions on using the
generic 'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts provided with
each patch.  Any other special or non-generic installation
instructions should be described below as special instructions.

Special Install Instructions: 
----------------------------- 
 
      Note, you may see the following error generated:
        e.g.,   syntax error at line 11 : `(' unexpected
                mv: cannot access /tmp/resolvedfiles.5020
 
This is a known problem and is in fact caused by a problem in the OSI
installation. The error does not actually cause any problems and the
patch will install correctly.
 

   Note : A new field has been added to ositool. This is the 
   Inactivity timer. The new value of the inactivity timer follows this rule : 

   When the value of this field in ositool is 0, the stack 
   automatically computes a value for this timer, equal to (retransmission Limit) * 4 * (Window Timer)
   In all other case the value of the inactivity timer is equal to the
   value of the field multiplied by the Window Timer.

	Example :

	Retransmission Limit : 5
	Window Timer (*1)    : 10
	Inac Timer           : 0

====> The Inactivity Timer is 5*4*10 = 200 seconds

	Change Inac. Timer to 40

====> The Inactivity Timer is  40 * 10 = 400 seconds



	To do some Heavy load on the Stack on LAN we advise the following 
configuration in ositool: 

	Retransmission Limit 	5
	Retransmission Timer	10
	Window Timer 		9
	Inactivity Timer	60
	+ On additional option : 
	Send BURST of TPDU
