I'm pretty sure that there's an issue with the firmware; the size of 
some sort of field has changed with 7.1.3, and that means that the older 
firmware can't fully register because it can't handle the larger field.

Anyway, ensure that you're running the latest firmware for the 186. 
Also, the subtle part of the issue is that if the ATA was running the 
old firmware it wouldn't update or something like that if it was trying 
to upgrade against 7.1, which is why we had to upgrade when our ATAs 
were still on CM 4.1(3).

Check the archives of this list; I think that's where I first got wind 
of the problem.
