(usr-tc) telnet access
by Michael DeMan 27 Mar '00

27 Mar '00

Hi, Pardon me for asking such a simple question, but I've completely forgotten how to enable telnet access to a HiperARC card. I spent quite some time fiddling around with the HiperMgr application but still cannot seem to get telnet enabled. I'm now worried that I've enabled telnet somehow for dialup clients too. Does anybody out there know what I need to do to turn telnet on for management via the ethernet port? Also, how can I look at the settings to make sure I don't accidentally have it enabled for dialups?

(usr-tc) explanation of options needed please
by Greg Owens 27 Mar '00

27 Mar '00

Would someone be so kind as to explain what the difference is between "connect attempt failure" and "incoming connection failed" statistics that are found under modem events in the TCM. I show 0 connect attempt failures on any of my cards but about a 3 to 5% incoming connection failed ration when compared to calls taken. Is this normal or should I be alarmed. I see about the same ratio on all 13 of my cards. And lastly under the "management bus failure" option I will see 1 or 2 on about 10 of my cards but the error is always on modem 1 of that span. Is this normal? Thanks for any help in explaining these options.

(usr-tc) Webramp not dropping line
by System Administrator 27 Mar '00

Hi all, Have a problem with a customer's webramp not disconnecting anymore. Here's the response from webramp: > I've taken a look at your tracedump and it looks like what is happening is > that the ISP is sending an ICMP packet to the webramp and the webramp is > responding to that. The source address is 208.47.232.2 and the > destination > address is 208.47.232.213. > Your ISP should be able to disable and/or block this packet from reaching > you. > > > Dennis Hemken > Ramp Networks > Customer Support Engineer > 888-RampNet > Well, the 208.47.232.213 is an IP from the pool, and 208.47.232.2 is one of the HiperArc's. Why would my HiperArc's be pinging my dialup clients? __________________________________ Justin Ellison System Administrator InternetUSA sysadmin(a)nebi.com http://nebi.com 800-603-3502 - 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) V.42 selective reject
by Antonio Querubin 26 Mar '00

26 Mar '00

I've just loaded the Hi-Per DSP firmware version 2.0.51 into one of our TCS hubs for testing. In older versions of the firmware (I think 3 or so versions prior to this one), the default setting for V.42 Selective Reject was disabled. However, newer versions of the firmware including this most recent one have it enabled by default. The docs indicate it benefits modems and phone lines experiencing some packet loss. However, up till now, we disabled V.42 Selective Reject explicitly just to ensure the same behaviour on our TCS with previous versions of the firmware. We even disabled it on the quad-modem cards for the same reason. This time we're leaving the default setting alone (enabled) but I'm wondering if this might be opening us up to increased problems with customers running older modems. I haven't yet noticed any mention of this feature on the lists or in the archives so I thought I'd ask directly. Has anyone run into problems with using V.42 Selective Reject on the quad-modem cards (version 6.1.6) and/or the HiPer DSP modem cards (version 2.0.81 or 2.0.51)? If so, what percentage of users were affected? What kinds of modems were most susceptible to problems, if any at all?

(usr-tc) more netserver questions
by Brian 23 Mar '00

23 Mar '00

If you have a netserver net0 configured as say: 12.1.2.1 255.255.255.0 and in net0 routing is set for "broadcast"......is it going to try and broadcast 12.1.2.1 as the default for 12.1.2.0? The routing table shows something like: Destination Gateway Flag Met Interface VPN -------------------- ---------------- ---- --- --------- --- 12.1.2.0 /24 12.1.2.55 NLC 1 net0 0 so would it try to announce that via RIP if "broadcast" was enabled under net0? ----------------------------------------------------- Brian Feeny (BF304) signal(a)shreve.net 318-222-2638 x 109 http://www.shreve.net/~signal Network Administrator ShreveNet Inc.

Form the sound of the article, they are drop-kicking teh dial-up modem business, but they are holding on to the ISP hardware. Another article mentioned they were selling the ISP hardware part to Motorola.

Some corrections: Analog modems and modem PC cards go the new company with Accton and NatSteel. NICs and combo PC cards stay with 3Com. Switch 4000, not 2000 (who cares about the number anyway?)new product (?). 3Com will OEM Copper Mountain DSLAM as Total Control 500.

(usr-tc) Need help with ISDN Channel Bonding
by Clint R. Sparks 20 Mar '00

20 Mar '00

I need some help with an ISDN BRI setup we are trying to do. We are trying to hookup a Cisco 1604R ISDN BRI Router to the Hiper DSP Total Control, Ameritech filled the order for BRI two B channels and 1 D Channel and we can manage to hook one B channel no problem but when we try to bond or multilink the two B channels together it will hookup the second channel for approximately two or three seconds and then it dies and about one second later the first B channel that had been hooked up dies. We are running Hiper DSP code 2.0.51 on the particular Hiper DSP card it is on and Hiper ARC code 4.1.59-6. 3 Com looked at our setup on the Total Control and said it look right, Cisco looked at the 1604R and said it looked right. And Ameritech said the B channels are setup right. Now we are lost, something is not right so someone is wrong and we cannot figure what it is. Does anyone have any ideas or know if there is something the Telco has to do to allow two B channels to bond on a BRI setup? Ameritech says they do not that it is all done at each equipment end which I know but we are searching for anything at this point. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Clint R.
