Known anomalies in this release

Use the identification information in parenthesis to track the anomaly in future releases or for reference when receiving assistance from Customer Support with a related issue.

The Compute Module cannot communicate with the controller if there is more than one Backplane in the controller path. For example, the module is unable to communicate with the controller if the path is Backplane\1\A\10.220.173.66\Backplane\3. However, paths resembling either Backplane\3 or Backplane\1\A\10.220.173.66 allow the module to communicate with the controller.

This anomaly first identified in version 1.2.0.
