Hiper ARC Question
by Joel - Fox Computers 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

For those of you familiar with the Hiper ARC's - Is there any way you know of to completely erase the configuration from a telnet prompt? I want to do the equivelant of choosing option 13 from the bootup menu except I want to be able to do from Telnet - I want to be able to do a complete reconfig of a HiperARC remotely. Any suggestions?

v.92 disabeling itself
by Paul Farber 30 Jan '03

30 Jan '03

I have a 12 slot chassis with 2 ARCs and a Pentium NMC that seems to turn off v.92 after I set it. My software versions are: NMC - 8.6.3 ARCs - 5.3.3 DSP - 3.5.109 I can set the v.92 master and other other v.92 items in the card config... but it seems to just 'turn back off'. Any ideas? -- Paul Farber Farber Technology farber(a)admin.f-tech.net Ph 570-628-5303 Fax 570-628-5545

RE: [USR-TC] Switching from First Available to Round Robin
by BSmith＠solunet.com 30 Jan '03

30 Jan '03

Our telco is offering to switch to Round Robin for us. Do we need to change the settings on our Total Controls to Round Robin as well for this to work, or does this only affect things at card level? Any experiences with letting the Total Controls use First Available, and letting the telco Round Robin? -- -Tim --------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are talking about Road Robin on your spans correct? So, they go from ch 1 -> 23/24 -> span2 -> 1 -> 23/24, etc? Thy answer is NOPE! ~Brian.

RE: [USR-TC] Which v.92 Features are best?
by Joel - Fox Computers 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

I have everything V.92 enabled. However, I've found that with some modems (Lucent/Agere specifically), if you enable PCMupstream on the client modem (which isn't enabled by default), that you get WAY slow downstream speed. One particular case was getting 49333 down/26400 up. Enabled PCMupstream and got 28800 down/33333 up. Waste of time, at least with those modems. -----Original Message----- From: Seth Jacobs [mailto:sjacobs@onramp113.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 4:37 PM To: usr-tc(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [USR-TC] Which v.92 Features are best? We're about to enable v.92 support in our TC1000. We're mostly interested in the MOH and the Quick Connect features. I've heard that if the PCM feature is enabled, it tends to negate the effectiveness of the Quick Connect feature, so we're thinking about not activating that feature.

Switching from First Available to Round Robin
by Tim Huffman 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

Our Total Controls are currently set up for first available modem routing method (where incoming calls will always hit the first available port), and we are looking at switching to Round Robin (where incoming calls are sent to the next trunk). Does anybody have any advice, experience, or cautions regarding this? -- -Tim --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Huffman -----------JORSM Internet, Internet Services Network Ops Manager -----7 Area Codes in Chicagoland timh(a)jorsm.com --------100 Mbps+ Connectivity, 56K-DS3 (219)322-2180 ---------Quality Service, Affordable Prices http://www.jorsm.com -----Serving Gov, Biz, Indivds Since 1995 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
