Hi list I am a neopyte when the total control unit are concern. I just acquire a total control unit with one T1, card and 6 quad digital/analog modem cards. I plan not to use the t1 line for another two month so my configuration border on programming the total contral to use the twenty four analog modems including one a hiper ARC NAC and the NMC. I have follow all the instruction specified in the hiper access reference manual provided with the documentation CD but I must be doing something wrong because the modem with pick up. When I put phone line in on the the entries and dial the number it just keeps on ringing Could any of you tell me the set of CLI instructions to make the portmaster pick up the phone in three rinngs modem pool : ippool , start address 207.8.232.166, 24 ports I am using cleartcpd for dial/network users. TIA Wilson Tuma

RE: (usr-tc) Funky and annoying "Card Removed" alarm server (SNMP ) messages si nce HiperARC upgrade
by Scott Trautman 19 Jul '00

Thanks much for the response--not surprising. Not surprising either is that even though Alarm Server is unsupported, they won't release the source code on it. Sure, it's a peice of !@#$% of a program, but for our uses it's not that bad. I wish I could have about 2 days with the code and I'd be plenty happy. Can't BE that much code in it. Okay, 3Com, reality being what it is, any reasonable solutions anyone's using? We are using TKINED but have not yet had the patience to whack through and figure out how to get traps going with all the right messages....

(usr-tc) Funky and annoying "Card Removed" alarm server (SNMP) messages si nce HiperARC upgrade
by Scott Trautman 19 Jul '00

19 Jul '00

Hi-- Other than these messages, the ARC's I have that were upgraded are working great. Heck, 4.2.32 worked/s great too. Only issue I really have is that we're getting a whole slug of alarm server informational messages (and would as well if we were using other SNMP tools I'm sure) since the upgrade. Message: 156.46.x.x; Card Removed from slot 1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.2.2.0 Severity informational. The 156.46 IP at the front is our syslog host as well as a DNS server (looking for where this could come from) as set in the ARC; Obviously we AREN'T removing cards; surely the string of numbers is an SNMP reference to something-- So, anyone else seen this? Know how to make 'em go away? What is that SNMP reference, anyway? Thanks! Scott M.

(usr-tc) While I'm asking - new ARC software feature, set timezone - how t o set?
by Scott Trautman 19 Jul '00

19 Jul '00

Didn't see anything in the release notes on it, didn't find anything on totalservice, try typing in the command and: HiPer>> set timezone This field is an alphanumeric String It has a maximum size of 256. If the string is surrounded by double quotes: There can be an escape character '\' inside the quoted string if followed by a b, f, n, r, t or v it will cause special characters to be placed in the string \b = backspace \f = formfeed \n = newline \r = carriage return \t = tab \v = vertical tab if followed by an x, will cause the next two characters to be interpreted as a hexadecimal constant. x0A = 0x0a if followed by any other character, will cause that character to be placed in the token a Double Quote will place the Double Quote in the token a '\' will place one '\' in the token okee dokee, maybe would have expected something more like "CST" or GMT-6 Not sure how I might use a backspace or formfeed. Suspecting it may not be a "totally fleshed out feature" yet maybe.... Any ideas? SMT Scott M.

OK - I've already tried that. Telnetted to HARC: set user adm password xxx save all logout login - still using old password. New password does not save. del user otheruser This worked and the user is gone. But I STILL cannot change the ADM password using CLI or HARM. HARM throws an error, and CLI accepts the change but it doesn't save. -- Scot > -----Original Message----- > From: Florin_Neamtu(a)3com.com [mailto:Florin_Neamtu@3com.com] > Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2000 9:22 AM > To: scot(a)njaccess.net > Subject: Re: (usr-tc) Security questions > > > > > Hi Scot, > > Any default parameter can not be changed (using set command; like > : adm user, > modem_group all, etc. The best you can do is delete this user and > create a new > one with your options. > > For the second question, you can not create and modify any > administrator account > using HARM.

(usr-tc) Security questions
by Scot Desort 18 Jul '00

I am trying to accomplish 2 tasks: 1 - Change password in HARC for the user 'adm' in NVRAM. When I use the CLI, the command 'set user adm password xxxx' takes, I do a save all, and the old password is still active. If I try to use HARM, I get a message stating "cannot edit a user with type MANAGE" 2 - I need to delete a different user in NVRAM that is also type MANAGE. Cannot seem to do that - same message as above referring to a user with type MANAGE. Any thoughts? -- Scot - 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) The 3Com Support Contract B*tch
by Brian 18 Jul '00

18 Jul '00

What is the name of the lady at 3Com who likes to bust everyones balls about support contracts? I got a call today, totally threatening and unreasonable, from a lady at 3Com. I just want to get my facts straight. Also, maybe a letter should be drafted, something like "We the undersigned ISP's refuse to purchase support contracts until <someone> is no longer associated with that division of 3Com".........then have something like: ISP Name Ports Contract Value -------------------- ----------- ---------------- foo.com 1200 $ 8000.00 blah.com 25000 $200000.00 . . . . Total: $5,000,000 something like that.............anyways just a thought.

(usr-tc) IP-IP Tunneling

Does anyone know if IP-IP Tunneling is in the pipeline for coming to the ARC? I have some uses for it, but I don't believe it is supported on the ARC's yet (l2tp and pptp only last time I checked).
