All Liaison drivers are preloaded
to the S3 and S5 units. They are simply activated through a
configuration file. It may occasionally be required to upload an
updated version of a driver but this is not a usual circumstance. The
implementation of certain network protocol drivers may not support every
feature that the protocol specification offers. Support for some
legacy equipment or rarely used features may be absent. Please check
the driver specification documents to ascertain that the current driver
version supports the features that you require. In the event that a
feature or support for a specific model of legacy equipment is omitted,
please contact technical support (email is preferred) at support@liaisontech.com
and let us know. The Pronghorn architecture makes it a relative
straightforward proposition to add supplemental functionality in very
little time and Liaison is focused on delivering complete solutions rather
than selling as-is product. The
following table list drivers either currently available or under
development as well as a link to documentation on the drivers support for
specific protocol features. Click the <Features> link to
confirm support for your application or call the technical support line if
you are unsure.
