Time-Out Settings

Hello List: On out 3COM, I have setup ,Inactivity Time [min][S19]' settings to '12' minutes (Under TCM > HiPer DSP Cards > Configure > Call Control Options). However, when I test this feature by dialing-in from my PC into 3COM, the connection remains open for an extended number of minutes. I do not know what the maximum time it remains open but as of this post the connection is up for 40+ minutes with no activity from my PC. Is ther anything wrong I am doing? How can I setup so the users disconnect when they reach the 'Inactivity Time"? Kirti

Hello List: Since I posted the following message, I am going over all 3COM manuals in hope of finding an answer & I may have found it. Please respond and confirm my find. Normally in TCM, I do the HiPer DSP settings as follows: (1) Select Span: This the square blocks (you may call them rectangular blocks) in the upper half of the HiPer DSP Cards. When I configure these settings, the configure window's heading is "HiPer DSP Modem (T1) Program Settings". In this section I setup settings to match telco settings. (2) Select HiPer DSP card: When I select this option, the entire card changes into blue color. Then I am given and option to "Select Card Level or Templates" options. I select "Template 1". Then I setup settings for modems. For example some of these settings are for "V.92 settings". After I do all the necessary settings, I save the settings to NVRAM. (3) As I mentioned in my previous posting (see below), the 'Inactivity Settings' are not working on our 3COM. While researching, I found another set of settings for HiPer DSP. These settings are for the square blocks , which are on the bottom half of the HiPer DSP and are enclosed in a box. When I select these blocks and try to configure them, they show the same settings as I mentioned in (2) above except none of the settings are the same as I set in (2) above. This explanation seems very complex but if somebody knows what I am talking about, do I need to setup these settings too?? Thanks.

Alex/Lewis: Thank you both for responding to my post. Our 3Com Chassis also takes 5-6 minutes when I 'Save Chassis to NCRAM'. I did solve the problem as follows: Configure->action/Commands Software-> Save Template 1 to NVRAM > Execute Software-> Save T1/E1 to NVRAM Software-> Software Reset > Execute That's it. >> What do you mean in "cannot hold the final settings" ? When I save settings & turn poer off and then turn poer on, the settings disappear. Thanks again.

Lewis: Thank you for your response. My Problem is not with HiPer ARC cards. I setup these cards and 'save all' & then 'reboot'. They hold their settings. My problem is with settings in TCM. These are the one which are bot being saved. Is there anybody who can help with my original post. Thanks in advance.

Joel: Thank you for your response. I have a second 3COM and as soon as I put the first one in production, I will start working on the second one as a test 3COM & might be able to resolve these issues. I may post another question on this subject at a later time.

One type of Answer Supervision is "10 digit/3second", another is "immediate". I doubt this is it but for clarity sakes there are different settings that can affect this. If you are using PRI then I believe this issetup in the switch type and you shouldn't even hear a ring. -- Lewis Bergman Texas Communications 4309 Maple St. Abilene, TX 79602-8044 325-691-3301 800-299-6962 _______________________________________________ USR-TC mailing list USR-TC(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/usr-tc

Joel: (1) I did not load factory settings. I do not not know how? I will read the manual and figure it out. If someone has a quick answer as to how to load the factory settings on a HiPer DSP, let me know! (2) I do not know what a carrier sound is so I can not tell if my box is also answering on the first ring. I do notice that it takes appox 30 seconds for the handshake (or it may be the same as carrier sound). My impression was that the connection time, from dialing in to UID/PW verification is about 8-10 seconds and not 30 seconds. I am learning and thank people like you to respond. I am also hoping that I get more response on this post.

Subject: RE: [USR-TC] Tune-up Mine never rings at all, soon as you dial, you hear carrier. Your switch type probably isn't set right yet. Or some other trunk setting is not configured correctly. You did load factory defaults on the DSP? If you didn't, then I'd say you need to. If this happens after you've loaded defaults and set your switch type, then your switch type is probably wrong. You have to understand that there's a LOT more to this than just ringing, answering, and connecting. You can have a lot of things wrong and it will still do that. But if something's wrong you can have the long answering delay, slow modem communication, a lot of disconnects, etc. You have to load defaults and verify the correct switch setting, or you're just asking for problems. - Joel -----Original Message----- From: Kirti S.

Subject: [USR-TC] Tune-up Hello List: Finally I have 3COM responding to Dial-in & is working. Thank you all for all the help & suggestions. Without your help, I will still be scratching my head. Next question. I notice that when I dial-in, 3COM is letting the phone/connection ring for about 30 seconds before the authentication sequence is started. I have set the modems (HiPer DSP) to answer on the first ring. Why does it take so long? Are there any tune-up settings for 3COM?

How to save final settings
by Kirti S. Bajwa 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Hello List: I am almost done except for that 3COM Chassis cannot hold the final settings. To explain further here is the step-by-step routine I am following: ---------- In TCM, [make all necessary changes to HiPer DSP, then:] Configure->action/Commands Software-> Save Both T1/E1 and Modem to NVRAM > Execute Software-> Software Reset > Execute [make all necessary changes to HiPer NMC, then:] Software-> Save Chassis to NVRAM > Execute ---------- In East TN, we loose electric power regularly, so to simulate power loss, I shut down the 3COM Chassis and turn the power ON. Settings previously saved are lost. Therefore, my question is; What 'Action/Commands' sequence should I follow so that the Chassis settings are saved in the event of a power loss? I would also appreciate if someone points out where the settings are saved (for example NVRAM) and from where they are restored! Thanks. Kirti PS: In the last few weeks, I have different settings given by different people. I have also read just about every document on 3COM TCM I can lay my hands on. I have a soup of settings/instructions. This time, I am trying to narrow down to 'saving of final settings', /so please respond, even if you have previously responded/.
