MOH for TCM 4.5
by Paul Farber 12 Mar '03

12 Mar '03

anyone have a good / bad word for MOH for dsp .105 code? I'm thinking about turning it up since the base codes seems to be OK... but don't want to turn it up if things are gonna start breaking. Thanks. -- Paul Farber Farber Technology farber(a)admin.f-tech.net Ph 570-628-5303 Fax 570-628-5545

I don't exactly understand why but I've told customers that if they upgrade to a 56k modem (a long time ago) that their connection speed could go down instead of up. We've considered installing an analog group using the Quad V34 modems (we sold our ISPortes some time ago) using a channel bank to convert PRIs into analog lines in the hopes it would help those customers that have problems no matter what we suggest. We have several PM3s, TCs and a TNT and no matter what we have the customer do they just can't stay connected (or satisfied anyway). Sometimes they switch services and their connection might get better or it might get worse. An ISP across the Mississippi River called semo.net is giving away Zoom modems to new customers and selling them to existing customers - http://www.semo.net/promotions/zoom.asp They have a radio commercial advertising a free modem to new customers. This seems to be a common practice among some ISPs. I know of a large ISP in Arizona that bought 10,000 modems for $10 each and gave them to customers to help reduce complaints regarding connection problems.

Here's the situation: I have a computer with a hardware-based US Robotics 33.6K modem. If I dial up to my rack on an analog phone line connected an analog nic of a Quad V.34 Dig/Analog modem, I get 33.6K EVERY time. In fact, EVERY SINGLE time I get 33.6K, no matter how many times I dial. With the same computer, same modem, same phone line connected to the computer, if I dial up to one of my Hiper DSP's, I can't get better than 28.8, and usually 24K or 26400. Does this mean that signal quality on the T1's into my Hiper DSPs isn't as good as a regular POTS line? How should I interpret this? Is this anything I should be concerned about? Just curious.

Changing IP address on NMC
by venge＠lokalsound.com 12 Mar '03

12 Mar '03

I am using the USR HiperArc (with NMC) V4.1.59 and would like to know if it is possible (and the command) to change the ip address of the NMC. I can telnet to the chassis, but I do not see any command to change the NMC settings. Anybody have any ideas? If more info is needed, please let me know. Thanks Jeff

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe if you make that setting on the ARC, it is a default, which you should be able to override for specific users by having your radius server supply the correct attribute setting the max_channels to something else during authentication. - Joel -----Original Message----- From: matthew(a)the-spa.com [mailto:matthew@the-spa.com] Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 8:54 PM To: usr-tc(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: RE: [USR-TC] Duplicate logins. ok so i have a chassis that has two hiper arc's, it is pretty much full of hiper dsp's i only have a handful of people who pay for multiple logins (they are mostly isdn users) so if i did the statement for each hiper arc that set the default to be 1 login per user, could i then go and do a specific entry for each of the few users who are allowed 2 logins? if so, that would be better than what i have now. i know it wouldn't stop them from logging in once on each hiper arc, but it is surprising how often someone will login twice and end up on the same hiper arc even though i have them setup for even/odd etc. matthew ---- Original Message ---- From: jfox(a)foxcomputers.com To: usr-tc(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: RE: [USR-TC] Duplicate logins.

Actually, I wasn't clear. We did an ADD IP POOL "IPPOOL"...., but it complains that our name is duplicated. We then did and ADD IP POOL "IPPOOL2"... for 24 ports, and that worked, but that's two 24 IP pools with separate names. I'd like to remove one of them and modify one to be a single, 48 IP pool.

filter through radius
by Kancha . 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

Hi: i've created a valid filter in TC1000 and when that filter is applied through RADIUS using Filter-ID everything works fine. The problem is i have another RAS as well and have created few filters in that RAS as well. Now when i apply all those filters through RADIUS TC disconnects user after being authenticated as there is only one filter in TC and i've used radius filter-id to assign multiple filters. help. i need to apply all filters as users could connect through any RAS. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Duplicate logins.
by Justin Wheeler 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

My USR is disconnecting every user that tries to duplicate login. I want my radius to control that for me. The user dials in the first time, connects, no problems. The user dials in a second time while the first is connected, they handshake, the user sends username and password, the usr checks the username/password with the radius server. The radius server says, "login OK'. The TC drops the connection, and sends no accounting packets. Any ideas?
