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.

Interested in how this works: let say I have dual ARC's and I "set network user default ppp max_channels 1". Then if the user is connected, and dials in again and connects to the second ARC, will they still not be able to log in?

RE: [USR-TC] What IP address does the TC assign a user?

Radius accounting records the user's IP address. Maybe a hassle for you, but since you know what time they logged on, you can look at Radius accounting log and match the time and username and get the IP they were assigned. -----Original Message----- From: John R.

Long time no hear. Every time we ask SBC-Ameritech to do anything to our hunt group, it turns into a nightmare, so we'll have to think about involving them. Maybe we are trying to solve the wrong problem. What prompted the question was that when the TC logs calls, it doesn't give us the IP number assigned, just the port assignment. For example: Mar 5 07:34:41 arc0 At 07:34:25, Facility "Auth Facility", Level "VERBOSE":: User jra successfully connected to the PPP process for call id 852437 on interface slot:1/mod:14 We need some way of finding out what IP number the user has been assigned, after the fact. If we can get onto the TC while the user is online, we can figure it out with the "list ip networks" command, but once they disconnect, it seems the information is lost. Any suggestions?

If you set it to round robin, a call that comes in on span 1, channel 1, might hit modem card 1 channel 15. What you don't have control over is the TELCOs call routing method (of course, you can call them and request a different routing method). YOU can only control MODEM call routing assignments for calls that hit a particular modem. Same principle: Round Robin from the telco gives you equal distribution/usage of all cards. Round Robin set on the DSP will give you even distribution/usage of modems on that card. In the example below, if you have your DSP's set to distribute calls in a fixed assignment fashion, then you can be pretty sure you received calls from the telco on Span 1/Ch 24 Span 1/ch 22 Span 2/ch 24 Span2/Ch 1 Hope that helps...

Pulling Mac addresses

10 Mar '03

Does anybody know how or if you can pull a dialup customer modem Mac address from the HiperARC CLI or Hdsp? I can pull the ARC or NMC Mac Address with Hiper>> ARP (insert ARC or NMC IP here) Doing this with an established dynamic IP dialup client with return Bad Address. Alternatively, does anybody know how to send the customer MAC address along with the accounting information to the radius server? -- Adam Barnhill Support Engineer, TotallyFabricated.com Information Technology Engineer, Poplar Bluff Internet, Inc. / Semo.net P.O.
