RE: [USR-TC] ARC memory???

Alex: Lets look again. My HiPer ARC shows 13???K of memory and 8???K of Flash memory. Your response is that ARC memory comes in multiple of 64, 128, .. blocks. Therefore 13???K is definitely not the correct size? You agree?

ARC memory???
by Kirti S. Bajwa 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

This is my first try on a 3Com TC. I have a chassis wiht two HiPer ARC. It is my understanding that HiPer ARC needs 16MB of meory & 8MB of flash memory to support V.92. When I check the HiPer ARC, it shows memory as 13+MB and Flash memory as 8+M. Is it normal for an HiPer ARC to show 16MB as 13+MB or I need to upgrade the memory to 16MB? Thanks.

mgt card failures
by David Hamilton 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

Has anyone else had a large number of mgt cards stop responding recently? Over the last few weeks, at least 20 of our cards have needed a reboot to become responsive. This is spread over a large geographic region and several code versions. Thanks.

Hi List: Finally I gave up for trying to connect/program a 3Com TC chassis using a Win NT (and dealing with Proxy Server). I just went ahead and setup a standalone Win XP PRO computer and it did the trick. My special thanks to Alex & support(a)isn.net for their help. They two did not give up and continued to respond with new suggestions. Thanks again.

If you have dedicated a machine to managing the box, my recommendation would be to just plug a crossover cable into the NMC and then put the other end on the Win98 box, that way you can be sure you aren't running into any firewall/proxy/nat issues.

RE: [USR-TC] Total Control manager
by Kirti S. Bajwa 01 Sep '03

01 Sep '03

Hi List: I am having this problem with Total Control Manager and many people have tried helping. I am new to 3Com and I appreciate for all the help. For those who may not know what I am talking about, I was trying to connect to a 3Com TC chassis to program it. I was using a Win XP PRO PC to connect. I continued to receive a message that the "Device not responding". I switched to a Win NT 4.0 (SP6a) server. Same error message! Finally now I have setup a stand alone Win98SE PC. Still I am getting the same message. One Hint: When I connect to the 3Com using Hyper Terminal (COM1), I can configure it. Many people who tried to help me wrote back that they can access the 3Com Chassis over Internet IP 63.113.255.9. Problem: Is it possible that Total Control Manager is trying to access the 3Com Chassis over a connection other than COM1? How can I tell if the connection is being tried over COM1? This may be my problem. Please HELP. Thanks. Kirti -----Original Message----- From: Kirti S.

Hi Alex, I got the NMC synced back to 5.4.1 and configured the DSP's/ARC's through the CLI (thank you *very* much for all your assistance in that. :) My NMC doesn't have any labels on the CPU (and the heat sync looks like it won't go back on if I try to remove it) but TCM says I have a NMC_CLK, does that give any clues as to which version of the hardware it is, and what the max flash version it can handle is?
