(usr-tc) PCSDL, is there some sort of trick to this?
by das 22 Dec '99

22 Dec '99

I've read all of the documentation. I've now got some remote NMCs that have become unreachable via TCM. I figure that I need to go there and reflash them via PCSDL. I've never had to do this before, so I did my homework. This is what I'm typing: pcsdl -p1 -r9600 -vsd5.4.1 -vna5.2.2 -nsdnm -nnanm This should be all you need correct? It keeps giving me the following error message: Error: No such file or directory. So, I tried using the -d flag to specify C:\usr_sdl . But, that didn't seem to have any affect. Any ideas? I don't want to have to go all the way out there tomorrow without any way to bring these cards up.

Does anyone know of a source for DSPs? 3com nailed us in the quad trade-up and never shipped us DSPs because of this whole rev 55 problem. They say we will get them in January but we need some now.

(usr-tc) Recommended ip pool size.
by Jason P. 21 Dec '99

21 Dec '99

We have a HiperARC chassis with PRI service. Can anyone give me a suggestion on what the recommended ip pool size would be for one PRI span (23 modems)? I haven't been able to find this info anywhere in any documentation.

Re: (usr-tc) PCSDL, is there some sort of trick to this?

Close, I think you've got the wrong SDL file version though- Try this: pcsdl -p1 -r9600 -vsd3.2.0 -vna5.2.2 -nsdnm -nnanm I recommend you bump the speed up to 57600 instead of 9600 though (flip dipswitches 1&2 up on the card & use -r57600). You're trying to flash it with the 5.2.2 code, right? Sometimes it helps if you reseat the NMC after starting the PCSDL if it doesn't take off right away.

(usr-tc) DSP hang ups & code
by Greg owens 21 Dec '99

21 Dec '99

We are having some problems with all, but mainly one DSP card continually having a pair of modems hanging up. (Resetting the card about 3 to 4 times a week. All DSP cards are running the same code 2.0.81) I spoke with our vendor about sending this card back for repairs as the others do not hang up nearly as often. Thir solution was to tell me I need to put the 2.6.0 code in there that it had all the fixes for this. I thought that 2.0.6 was the revision that had a fix for this. I spoke with them about this and they said no the 2.6.0 code is newer than the 2.0.6 Am I nutts (insert your private joke here) but I thought the lower the revision number the newer the code. Has anyone seen any major improvements with any of these codes? And what would you suggest? Many Thanks and HAPPY HOLIDAYS Greg Owens Magnolia Internet Services http://www.magnolia-net.com

(usr-tc) ARC reboot removes static route
by Blake Fithen 21 Dec '99

21 Dec '99

Can anyone clue me in on why the ARC removes a static route definition after "save all" and a "reboot"? IOW, add ip route x.x.x.x/32 gateway x.x.x.x save all reboot *poof* - no more route. After adding the route it works fine and shows up in "li ip routes". Checked the docs, didn't say anything about it not being persistent after a reboot. thanks, blake - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
