>>> ABOUT THIS INFORMATIONAL APAR
 
The IBM Network Station Manager license program you order
for AS/400 systems using Version 4 Release 1 is 5648-B07
(which is the same program you order for AS/400 systems
using Version 3 Release 7).  This product installs &
runs on both Version 3 Release 7 and Version 4 Release 1.
Please note that all references to this product on the
AS/400 system and online information (including the
install command) will refer to the program as 5733-A07.
NOTE: On an R410 AS/400, the product 5733A07 (and/or
the browser products) will display as release level
R370 (when using the DSPSFWRSC command).
 
This informational APAR contains information specific for
the IBM Network Station Manager for AS/400 systems using
Version 4 Release 1. This informational APAR will be
updated on a regular basis and therefore we suggest you
order and read it on a regular basis.
 
----------------------------------------------------------
 
>>> RELATED INFORMATIONAL APARS AVAILABLE
 
For additional information, we strongly suggest you also
order Informational APAR II10405 (and its' continuation
apars: II10676 & II10938).  II10405 is a General
Information apar, reporting tips and known problems
with Network Stations regardless of the AS/400 version.
II10405 also contains an INDEX of the other
AS/400 INFO APARs relating to IBM Network Stations.
 
Note: Info apar II10309 contains Version 3 Release 7
specific information which can be ignored when you
are using OS/400 Version 4 Release 1.
 
-----------------------------------------------------
 
>>> INITIAL PTFS REQUIRED
 
Before using the IBM Network Station Manager on your
AS/400 system at Version 4 Release 1, you must
install the latest OS/400 Cumulative PTF package onto the
AS/400 system.
 
NOTE:  If your AS/400 was previously at Version 3 Release 7
       and you were using the IBM Network Station Manager,
       the special instructions in PTF 5769SS1-SF41493
       pertain to your system setup.
 
--------------------------------------------
 
>>> GROUP PTF FOR NSM (MANAGER)
 
The list of PTFs documented here contains the most current
set of PTFs available for the IBM Network Station Manager
for AS/400 systems at OS/400 Version 4 Release 1.
We strongly suggest you obtain and apply the complete set
of 5733A07 PTFs documented here so your AS/400 system is
at the latest level.
 
For your convenience, we have made a Group PTF for
the IBM Network Station Manager PTFs.  You can
simply order the single PTF 5733A07-SF99081 and
all of the PTFs included in the group (which is the
entire set described in the list below) will be ordered.
 
Note that SF99081 may only be requested through ECS,
and the PTFs in the list will be delivered on media (CD).
If you prefer to obtain the PTFs electronically, you may
order each PTF in the list individually rather than
ordering SF99081.
 
When ordering the Group or individual PTFs, you will
need to specify the product as 5733A07 and the version
as V3R7M0 (because 5733A07 is a Version 3 Release 7
product that can be used on Version 4 Release 1).
 
NOTE:  Applying the latest OS/400 Cumulative
PTF package will not necessarily result
in a complete set of the latest Network Station
PTFs; customers are advised to obtain the most
recent group PTF SF99081 in order to obtain
the latest Network Station code levels.

***NOTES:
 
   1. These PTFs can all be applied IMMEDIATE.

      Station using the AS/400 system as its server must
      be restarted (power off and then power on).
 
   3. The PTF SF43413 contains the 2.9.0 and
      2.9.2 boot monitor images.  The special
      instructions in the PTF cover letter

      order to update IBM Network Stations to
      the desired boot monitor image. Information
      concerning the changes to the boot monitor
      image can also be found in the General Info
      apar: II10405 (and/or its' continuation apars).

the IBM Network Station:
 
IBM Browser 40bit,  product: 5648B08
     SF43058
   * SF43589
 
IBM Browser 128bit,  product: 5648B18

* IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
As of 11/24/97, if the customer applies the Group PTF
SF99081 (R370 and R410 only), and has the IBM Browser
installed, then the customer must also apply the PTFs
shown above with an asterisk.
NOTE:  It is not necessary to apply the PTFs SF43589 and
SF43590 to an AS/400 using OS/400 Version 3 Release 2.
But if these PTFs are applied or removed on an AS/400
running OS/400 R320 then an informational error message,
and a message CPF3569 will display.  These error messages
can be ignored when encountered on a R320 AS/400 for
these PTFs.
 
-------------------------------------------------------
 
>>> SERIES 1000 (Model 8362) NetworkStation
 
As of 11/21/97, the Group PTF SF99081 provides support
for the IBM Network Station Series 1000; this is type

includes all of the enablement support for the Navio
Browser (License Programs 5648-B10 and 5648-B20).
Therefore, be sure to apply these PTFs if you plan on using
the Navio Browser on your IBM Network Stations.
 
To support the Navio Browser, changes to the Network
Station Manager configuration files are performed by
some of these PTFs.  Therefore, once this set of PTFs
is on your system you should not remove them unless
you have a plan to reinstall them (or the most current
set of PTFs at the time.)
