Folks, On a slightly off topic discussion does anyone now where/how to get a Sportster modem replaced under warranty ? I went through 3Com's website, through 2 voice reponse systems, talked to nobody but a machine and still aren't any closer to get an RMA numebr for this modem. Thanks in advance.

(usr-tc) Carrier Detect Delay Setting
by mmm3＠cornell.edu 27 May '00

27 May '00

Hi all... I recall reading that it was advisable to up the Carrier Dectect Delay setting on the modems to 2 seconds, but I don't recall if anyone mentioned needed to do a software or hardware reset in order for the change to take effect. Anyone know? Thanks... ********************************************************* Michelle M.

(usr-tc) Mac internal modems and TCH
by Charles Sprickman 27 May '00

27 May '00

Hello, Anyone had any luck getting a stable connection between a Mac (iMac, G4, G3 internal modem) and DSPs running 2.0.51? We still have a number of people having problems when they hit DSPs. They have no problem hitting the quads. It seems like the better the connect rate, the worse the problem is. Basically the user will get sluggish performance and then the call will drop within a few minutes. Any ideas? I'm not a real mac modem-script wrangler (you need a tool from their site to build a script), but rumor has it locking them to a lower speed will help. Anyone else see this? I thought it had been fixed...

(usr-tc) arcs and ospf
by Mike Andrews 26 May '00

26 May '00

I've been having a really bizarre problem off and on the last week or two. Occasionally some of my ARCs will suddenly stop doing OSPF right. The routing table loses all OSPF routes, and the ARC stops announcing its routes via OSPF to our Ciscos. Disabling/enabling OSPF doesn't help, but most of the time (not all the time) rebooting the ARC will. One thing that seemed to trigger it was rebooting some of our Ciscos... and since that happens so infrequently (not rebooted since going to ARC 4.2 in fact) it's hard to track down. I don't know which one exactly, maybe our AS border router dying is what threw it off. It also happened last night when I installed a Cisco Catalyst 2924XL (replacing an old 10BaseT hub, finally!) which didn't involve rebooting the Ciscos, but involved having them unreachable for a minute or two as cables were switched and Spanning Tree did its thing... I have another ARC with no modems on the same LAN (for testing) and it initially did the same thing, but now I'm having trouble reproducing it. When it was screwed up one night, it fixed itself overnight, but it obviously took hours to do, which kinda defeats the purpose of OSPF. I know this is really vague, but problem is, I don't really know where to start looking for this, because I didn't document very well what my current OSPF settings are. (A bulk-config-to-ASCII utility would be REALLY HELPFUL HERE :) I could reverse-engineer HARM and try to get a dump of that part of the config via SNMP somehow, I guess, but... yuck. Anyway, I'm also not a real in-depth OSPF guru yet. Has anyone seen anything like this before or know of any particular settings that I might want to check? This is driving me nuts (not to mention my customers) and I'm not sure where to start.

(usr-tc) caller-id and rejected calls
by Dan Borlovan 26 May '00

26 May '00

Hello, As my telco started offering caller id, I tried enabling A-party digit collecting on my dual e1/cas card (usrtc chassis with harc, hyper nmc and quad modem cards). There are two issues: - the big one: for calls that do not have caller-id, the call fails - the small one: when A-party collection is enabled, I receive only one digit for B-party instead of six. The first one is the real problem, it prevent the use of the caller-id. Can I tell the e1/cas card not to reject those calls?

(usr-tc) Multiple temp. sensors on newer chassis
by Jeff Mcadams 25 May '00

25 May '00

OK...was talking with George Ebert down at ISPCon... The newer style chassis with the integrated fan trays apparently have multiple temperature sensors...obviously, they have the one on the NMC that has been there from the beginning, but apparently, the midplane also has 3 temperature sensors spread across it that the NMC is supposed to be able to access. I don't know how to get access to the readings from them though. I'm quite familiar with the nmcStatTemperature OID, as that's the OID that gives you the temperature as measured by the sensor on the NMC. I can't find any information on getting the values from the other 3 though. Anyone have thoughts on this? -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm(a)iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
