Re: (usr-tc) Analog Quad Disconnects
by Ray Whelan 23 Feb '00

Hi Christopher, pbReceivedLsWhileLinkUp(55) 'PACKET BUS - Received LS while Link Up' An error occurred in the packet bus link layer. The modem received a request to start a new link, when it was already in a link. So, the current link is dropped and a new link is attempted. Possible problem with modem in one of your slots. Hope it helps Regards Ray Whelan "Christopher Berry" <berryc(a)rof.net> on 22/02/2000 20:52:55 Please respond to usr-tc(a)lists.xmission.com Sent by: "Christopher Berry" <berryc(a)rof.net> To: usr-tc(a)lists.xmission.com cc: (Ray Whelan/IE/3Com) Subject: (usr-tc) Analog Quad Disconnects We have one rack of POTS lines hooked into Quad Analog/Digital cards. At what seems to be random intervals, the rack disconnects everyone or resets. I was watching once while it happened, and managed to get to modem events in TCM before someone dialed in and saw an error message: "pbReceivedLsWhileLinkUp" I can't find an explanation of this in any documentation. Can anyone explain this error, or tell me where to look for an explanation? Thanks in advance, Christopher Berry rof.net Web Design and Technical Support (970) 945-4920 x17

(usr-tc) MRTG and TCH
by Steve Cobb 23 Feb '00

23 Feb '00

Thanks for the help guys but I still need some more. I'm running all HiperDSP cards and can run the command line "perl hiperdsp.pl public(a)xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" and I get a list of two numbers, which is the number of users online and the total number of modems. That's great but how do I incorporate this into MRTG? When I make a mrtg.cfg file and use the OID that is in the hiperdsp.pl file, 1.3.6.1.4.1.429.1.27.2.1.26, and then run mrtg, i get an SNMP error: no response received. How can I get this to work so that I can graph out modem usage?? I have included the mrtg.cfg file: workdir: f:\inetpub\wwwroot\mrtgnew Unscaled[_]:ymwd #.....................................................................

Instead of trying to hit the SNMP OID, the Target line in our MRTG.cfg file looks like this: Target[tch1]: `perl c:\mrtg-2.8.8\run\dualpri.pl public(a)xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx` so I suggest changing your's to something like: Target[tch1]: `perl c:\mrtg\hiperdsp.pl public(a)xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx` Note those ` are the apostrophe marks near the 1 key. It's been working like a charm.

(usr-tc) Authentication on HiPers
by Christopher Berry 22 Feb '00

22 Feb '00

We've noticed a strange phenomenon on our HiPers used for dial-in: It seems (this may not be true, though) that suddenly the hipers will not authenticate older Macs (using MacPPP/ConfigPPP), older Windows (Winsock), or even HyperTerminal logins. The log (We use Cistron Radius on a RHLinux 6.1 box for authentication and accounting) shows the username fine, but the password is garbled (garbage characters), and thus can not authenticate. The Hipers are all running 2.0.51 (Which, BTW, really helped the problems with losing modems), and they have been hardware reset. >From telnet, the SHOW PPP gives a Dial-in Users Authenticate set to "ANY". I have used SET to change this to the other settings and back again. Our Quads which authenticate on the same box are unaffected. The only recent change unique to the hiper chassis is it was switched to a new backbone provider and now has all new IP's. There are no other problems-everyone else can connect fine Other PPP (Mac and PC) are fine, only older PPP programs have problems.

(usr-tc) OT: Survey - Backhauling traffic from POP's
by Scot Desort 22 Feb '00

22 Feb '00

Off-topic survey: I am investigating some POP alternatives for our network. These POPs will be dialup only. They will be co-located within the CLEC switch or remote central office. I am looking for information on how most of you backhaul the dialup traffic to your networks. I find it curiously strange that more CLECs do not have fiber in their facilities that connect them to IP backbones like UUNET, Sprint or CW (at least that's the way it is here in NJ). My first inclination was not to backhaul, but obtain a separate feed to one of the backbones right in the colo/switch, but this is not an option. So, I am left to backhaul. What is the most cost-effective way to do this? Assuming that these POPs will be relatively small, not requiring A DS3 to backhaul, how many PRI dialup trunks can be supported for each T1 backhaul to my network? Or, is there a more efficient way to do it? The CLEC's use a 3 to 1 rule -- 3 PRI's with relatively moderate traffic can be supported by 1 T1 backhaul. I have my doubts here as well. Thoughts, comments, suggestions are welcomed, off-list if you prefer. -- Scot Desort Network Operations Manager NJ Internet Access scot(a)njaccess.net - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

(usr-tc) Motorola SM56 modems
by Mike Andrews 22 Feb '00

22 Feb '00

Anyone had any problems with Motorola SM56 modems? I ran into one person a while back that had a hell of a lot of problems with one, which went away when he got a Sportster... apparently Motorola didn't have any newer drivers (and yes it's a Winmodem). But in the last 4 days -- 3 of which we've been running 2.0.51 code on a mix of hardware revs 49, 53, and 54 -- we've had a sharp increase in the number of people having disconnects with these things. One of them was in a brand new Gateway computer, so I fear that they may have switched modem vendors yet again, and with Christmas having just come, that might be the source of lots of them. (ugh) So at this point I can't tell if it's that or if it's the 2.0.51 code causing the problem. I would rather be running 2.0.51 because I've got five DSP's on order and they're likely to be a newer hardware rev, and I'd rather run the same code across the board...
