TC?
by Kirti S. Bajwa 24 Aug '03

24 Aug '03

This is my first stab at 3Com TC product and I have million questions. So I ask the first one: I have read and re-read quite a few documents on TC. My understanding was that I could configure all the cards in a TC Chassis (HiPer NMC, HiPer ARC, HiPer DSP, Quad, etc) from one place namely Network Management Card (NMC) software. As I spend the entire week reading, it does not seem that way and that each card in the TC chassis has to be configured individually. Can somebody clarify this for me? Thanks.

Ask telco. If you dont have working NMC you can telnet DSP cards. add modem_group slotxcon interface SLOT:X/CON:1 add network service slotxtnt server_type telnetd socket 600x data auth=off,service_type=dialout,modem_group="slotxcon" (This can be done with just one command: add network service slotx server_type telnetd socket 600x data auth=on,service_type=dialout,modem_group="SLOT:X/CON:1", but this not works on my arc). (SLOT:X/CON:1 must be present and enabled, X is slot number where DSP is installed). Then telnet your arc at port 600x. You can do trace on DSPs and check why you get busy signals. This can help configuring DSP cards. Check DSP command reference on totalservice.utstar.com.

Uploading DMF Files
by ISN Support Staff 22 Aug '03

22 Aug '03

Hello, I need to upgrade the software on my NMC card, but TCM won't seem to do it. I've got the file (hh080703.dmf) but when I enter it into the nac/dmf box of TCM's Software Download menu it says I must specify a NAC file. I even tried renaming it to .nac, but that didn't work either. Can anyone help me out on this? I've heard there is a pcsdl2.exe that will do this, but I can't find it anywhere. It's a bit of an emergency, as this unit need to be upgraded so it can be put in service to replace a dying TC1000/AS5100 system (*really* old.)

A big hello to all!! I am new to this list and this is my first posting. I've a Total Control 1000 with 30 channel high density modem along with PRI and NMC cards. I'm using an E1 line with ANI enabled. But I'm getting only one digit in the field of calling station id and 4 disgits in the called station id. What could be wrong? PSTN or TC setup?

Callback on HiPer
by alex 20 Aug '03

20 Aug '03

I have chassis with HiPer ARC (5.3.3), HiPer DSP E1/PRI (3.5.13). I want to do callback on that TC. Callback is enabled on HiPer ARC (enable ppp negotiated_callback), interfaces are TWO_WAY. On radius there is user with Service-type Callback-Framed, Callback-Number xxxxxx, and all other attributes for network user. After calling this TC, callback is negotiated and TC calls me back, but my modem can't hear TC side modem. Where is problem? Can anybody help?
