Thoughts on....HiperNMC works fine everywhere but one chassis
by Scott Trautman 31 Jul '02

31 Jul '02

I'm still finishing off implementing HiperNMC's, and I've got one chassis that's buggin' the snot out of me. Old style NMC works fine; Swap in HiperNMC (8.6.3), and: - no console output no how - sticks at "WAIT" on the LED yet, same HiperNMC in another chassis boots and looks great. The chassis I'm fine in is the old-style dual 45A, the chassis I'm going into is the newer Integrated fan type. The things I can think to try, but are disruptive, meaning early early AM, are: - try in the next slot over (several other cards to move then...) - shut down the entire chassis and try booting it. - Ok ok already: try this HiperNMC in another identical integrated fan chassis and see if it does it there too Now I put in a couple other HiperNMC's in the same scenario and didn't have any trouble at all. What should I be looking at? Anything I've missed?

How do you...
by Joel - Fox Computers 31 Jul '02

31 Jul '02

Here's a question - maybe someone knows how to do it. I would like to set up a chassis, specifically an older chassis with the 35A power in it (which is why my earlier question about the PS), and put a decent NMC and ARC in it. But instead of a DSP, I'd like to put a <something> card in it that can answer a POTS line. Anyone know what hardware I need? The purpose is this: I'd like to mess with things like creating filters and such on a non-production unit, and be able to dial-in and test, just not using one of my T1's for actual users. Anyone know what I need? Or even if it can be done? I tried using an old Quad-V.32terbo modem card, but it doesn't even answer (and TCM doesn't like it at all). I'm assuming the Quad-V.32's ONLY work through their serial connection at the rear of the unit. Is there a Quad V.34 with a NIC on the back that will take analog calls and route them through an ARC? Just curious.

How to reset connection counters or reset DSP to reset connectio n counters?
by Scott Trautman 31 Jul '02

31 Jul '02

Hi- I need to clear the call statistics on my DSP's; I have been manually rebooting them to do so. I understood that that was the only way to do it in the past. I haven't revisited it for over a year, so perhaps there is a way now for either via SNMP?

Sorry, new to this stuff, how do I do a reverse telnet to the DSP? I have a support contract, which is where I got the .103 code. The reason was an attempt to solve another problem that may be related. Using a Lucent/Agere Winmodem, I can dial either of the other two service providers in town (both running Total Control Hardware) and get 49333 connections. Dialing my own equipment, the best I can get is 46666. Many of my users are getting connections as high as 52000, but I can't from my location, telling me something is not right. The .103 code was an attempt to fix that. In addition, I have been unable to get a true V.92 connection. I get the quick-connect, and I get V.44 compression, but no upstream PCM. CommWorks support said this was probably a modem problem, but otherwise gave no good explanation. Thanks for the help!

But that is only if the contiguous numbering flag is set...and that only if you are using certain versions. For Total Scrutinizer, we had to start checking for version numbers, contiguous numbering flag & E1 or T1 or PRI running on the card.

modem stats via snmp

Is anyone using the various mdmCs<whatever> mib or OID's to gather info on their modem's performance. It seems that quite a few in there might be of use. The curious ones go from 1.3.6.1.4.1.429.1.6.9.1.1.8.<slot# * 1000 + span#> to about 1.3.6.1.4.1.429.1.6.9.1.1.61.<slot# * 1000 + span#> Does anyone know how the TC maps port numbers which the NMC uses above - <slot# * 1000 + span#> to the one the arc uses to report back a username in OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.10.1.1.18? Or is there another OID that might report back a username that uses the same type of numbering scheme? -- Lewis Bergman Texas Communications 4309 Maple St. Abilene, TX 79602-8044 915-695-6962 ext 115
