(usr-tc) Minimum Power Supply requirements?
by Mark Thornton 02 Apr '01

02 Apr '01

What is the minimum power supply requirements for a loaded dsp chassis, say 10 dsp's and 2 arc's? What is required to have redundancy within the chassis? At what number of cards does a dual 70 amp chassis not provide redundancy if this is a problem? Another related question, how many dsp's can be handled by an arc? With the new multi trunk dsp's the limit must be fairly high. Is there a realistic need for more than one in a chassis containing only single trunk dsp's?

(usr-tc) PRI service message docs
by Mike Andrews 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

Hey folks... Anyone have any good low-level docs on PRI service messages? Anyone know q.931 and q.921 really well? I'm trying to track down a really bizarre PRI problem I'm having with the telco in one city. The HiPer DSP software (2.1.9) doesn't appear to give you much in the way of D-channel debugging at all... except for the "trc debug 25 2" command that gives a hex dump of the packets on the console. So, I'm writing a program to take that hex dump and turn it into something readable. (Hey, it's a good excuse to finally learn about q.931, too.) It mostly works, except for service messages -- it doesn't really grok them correctly. In particular they come in with weird protocol discriminator numbers like 0x03 and 0x43 instead of the usual 0x08. Unfortunately, Google is not helping me as much as it usually does here. The specific PRI problem is calls aren't hitting my PRI's; it takes about 10 calls and starts to fast-busy or dead-air... *sometimes* calls will roll over to the next PRI, sometimes not. Every so often the switch sends a series of service messages with protocol discriminator 0x43, with a list of B-channels -- probably the switch thinks my lines are busied out and it wants me to restore them. The DSP does not acknowledge these packets. I've been able to fix this condition before by rebooting the DSP's, but that doesn't exactly tell me why it's happening in the first place.... One theory is that maybe the telco is set to NI-2 instead of DMS-100 Custom... of course they say it's set to DMS anyway...

Hi all Somebody knows if Quad Modems can get DNIS/ANI from Telco and pass it to the RADIUS via NetServer/ARC ? How can I set up that ?

Hi Mike, We've seen something similar to your description several times with different telcos (not pri though...channelized T1s) and requested the tester to submit a ticket to switch to a spare circuit. Every time we've been told we would have to pay for rolling the trucks and we agreed...knowing that if it fixed the problem then they couldn't charge us. Never paid yet!

(usr-tc) Total Control Manager
by Robert Jimenez 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

Recently we bought another ISP and their equipment which included a USR Total Control 1000. We have an old copy of the Total Control Manager, but it will only work on Windows 95/98. The only machine running windows 98 finally died and now we do not have access to the total control manager. Is there another way to get a more current copy of that software that will run on windows NT/2000 or even Linux without paying Commworks exorbatant prices? Thanks for any info you have.

(usr-tc) HiperDSP with Netserver
by Jorge Lozano 28 Mar '01

Hello world! Can I use a HiperDSP with a Netserver Card? if yes... can you give any information about how can I configure my Netserver? If I use a HiperDSP, and Dual E1/Quad cards in same chassis, and Netserver but I dont have a V90 feature enabled in NMC, can I use V90 with DSP ports? Thanks for all!
