 FIXES:
 ======
  PTF 1:
  -----
   1. The Web management screen JAVA Applet displays VFD panel 
      instead of LED panel and it acts to resemble the managed 
      unit's physical VFD display.
   2. In Web management JAVA Applet, added support of TX/FX module 
      panel if it is plugged into an 8245 hub. While pointing at the 
      module's panel, clicking on the right mouse button, will bring
      up a pop up menu for Bridge Module configuration. Click on 
      "Config" with the left mouse button to go to Bridge Module 
      Control/Status Menu.   
   3. Added mouse support of EIA232 connector in JAVA Applet of the 
      WEB management screen. Point to EIA232 connector on the JAVA 
      Applet screen and click on the mouse right button to bring out
      its configuration pop-up menu (Console Info / OOB SLIP / OOB 
      Baud Rate). Click on the left mouse button to go to the desired
      menu. 
   4. RMON History table will report counts per sampled bucket (i.e. 
      sample 1= count 1, sample 2 = count 2, etc.). Samples previously
      reported accumulated totals. (i.e. sample 1 = count 1, 
      sample 2 = count 1 + count 2, sample 3 = count 2 + count 3,etc.)
   5. Minor terminology changes on console and web screens.


Note: 8245 112/124 management unit control is on the 10M segment.
