RE: (usr-tc) NMC not responding

I;ve had this happen a few times. Just reboot the NMC card by sliding it out if the chassis or via the console interface and it will be well again (until next time). Rebooting the NMC won't affect active users sessions. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark E.

RE: [USR-TC] Problem with HiperDSP card
by SWujek＠solunet.com 22 Apr '03

Hi Scot, We see this a lot on Hiper DSP cards when they fail. Try the Z-Modem procedure through the console port to reload code to it and see if that works. Most of the cards we see like this have to be sent back to 3Com for repair. Thanks, Steve Solunet TAC -----Original Message----- From: Scot Desort [mailto:scot@njaccess.net] Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 10:09 AM To: usr-tc(a)lists.xmission.com Subject: [USR-TC] Problem with HiperDSP card I have a HiperDSP card in a TC chassis that appears to have failed over the weekend. The RN/FL light was red, and the FOURTH utilization bar LED from the bottom was AMBER. I moved the card to another slot, and it worked OK for 2 days, and failed again. I left the card unplugged overnight, and plugged it back into the same slot this morning. It is now working again. But obviously something is wrong. I know that a red RN/FL is no good, but does the 4th utilization bar being amber mean anything? Any tests or settings I should check while the card is in an operational state? Not ever having a DSL go bad on me, what is the best course of action -- attempt to have Commworks repair it, replace it with a used card, ??? Card is about 2.5 years old.

Check into the Internet Equal Access (IEA) feature. Basically let's you set up per-user default routes. I've not used this feature personally, so I don't know how much help I can be on configuration issues, but I know that's what it does. :) Another option might be to configure the customer as a tunnel user and tunnel them to wherever you need to get their traffic, though there are, obviously, some complications from that. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm(a)iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 _______________________________________________ USR-TC mailing list USR-TC(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/usr-tc

Total Control Manager/SNMP
by Sysop 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

Hi, I want to do some lab experiments with the used hiper arc system. However, there's no 3Com's software available with me for the snmp management. I want to control the unit other than CLI. Can anyone provide me a link to download the TCM/SNMP for HiperARC. Or if there's any other NMS that is capable of managing the HiperARC with all of TCM's functions, please let me know the download link. thanks .. kernel4x

Channelized T1 in a DSP
by WayneG 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

Anyone using a Channelized T1 into a DSP? We have a TC boxes with PRI's into the DSP's running no problem. But in this location we are using a T1 (no PRI tarriff) and cannot get the TC to accept a call. It rings, 3 seconds of silence and then busy. I have swapped complete chassis and all cards, and reset everything to defaults and reconfigured. I have a feeling that there is some setting in the ARC that I am missing that is different between a T1 and a PRI (like modem mapping or something??) I changed the DSP card from "Message Oriented" to "Bit Robbed." But everything else is the same as our PRI chassis. Help??? Wayne Griswold (906) 774-4847
