TC MP/16 Serial Adapters
by Derek J. Balling 26 Jun '02

26 Jun '02

Does anyone have "known good" RJ45->DB25 cables for their MP/(8,16) they'd like to part with, or know a source for them? I've made adapters, per the instructions in the manual, and they don't seem to work, so either I've got a very boned MP16, or I'm clueless. Being the self-deprecating type, I'll aim for the latter. ;-) Any assistance would be very much appreciated. D -- +------------------------------+--------------------------------+ | Derek J.

SNMP
by Lewis Bergman 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

Is there a searchable interface to this mail list? I am looking for SNMP clues for using checkrad.pl which comes with ICRADIUS and hiperarc. The second issue is trying to get a count of active modem usage plotted through mrtg. All I can ever seem to get from any of the OID's I have seen is the system time. -- Lewis Bergman Texas Communications 4309 Maple St. Abilene, TX 79602-8044 915-695-6962 ext 115

(usr-tc) FW: [datacomm] Secret access to TCs
by Brian Becker 24 Jun '02

24 Jun '02

The newest edition to our IT Department (he's been in Tech Support for 3 years) emailed me this afternoon (full email below). I didn't believe him at first so I telneted to on of our TC boxes and when prompted with "Login:" I typed adm and pressed Enter. HOLY COW! It said "Hiper:" and I had full access. I'm curious as to how many people on this list were vulnerable like us (we have 20 TC boxes throughout Southeast Missouri). Brian Brian Becker President, Poplar Bluff Internet, Inc. P.O.

Re: [USR-TC] Cooling fan

I sold one last week to Carrolton Internet off of this list. He said it was working fine. They are the same model and part numbers that are on the fan. By any chance did your fan come with spaded power cables? At 03:35 PM 6/24/2002 -0600, you wrote: >We went to the maker of the fans, SMB.

We got a fan very quickly From: "Stephen Rivera - WRCA.Net" <steverivera(a)wrca.net> We had to solder the connector from the old fan onto the three wires from the new fan. Fan runs great, but the hub status light remains red. The new fan had exact same numbers as old fan. David At 04:35 PM 6/24/2002, you wrote: >We went to the maker of the fans, SMB.

Query on HiperArC's and Hiper DSPs
by Patrick Ndegwa 24 Jun '02

24 Jun '02

Hi there. I have a quick question. I have a 3Com Chassis running 7 Hiper DSP's on one Hiper ARC. I intende to populate the Chassis with another 7 Hiper DSP's. Do I need to add another Hiper ARC? If not what parameters should I be monitoring before making this decision (CPU Utilisation, Memory etc.) Your assistance will be highly appreciated.

List Archives
by Charles Sprickman 23 Jun '02

23 Jun '02

Hi all, I'm playing with an old netserver and wanted to check out some old postings, but couldn't find a searchable archive anywhere. So I decided to download all the archives and make them searchable. It's just a quick hack with MhonArc and htdig, but it mostly works. I still need to tweak and re-index once I figure out more about how htdig works, but anyone wanting to play with it is welcome to: http://usr-tc.spork.us/ The archive covers the start of the list ('95 sometime) to a few days ago. There's great netserver info and really excellent snmp stuff from David Bolen (ANS/AOL) in there... Charles -- Charles Sprickman spork(a)inch.com

Hello everyone, Anyone knows the way to get the modem call events from TC cards mostly seem to the modem call-record terse from Cisco ASs? I did it with Max TNT but with the TotalControl I can't find any similar. Thanks, Alejandro J. Noriega

(usr-tc) Upgraded TC's
by Mark Thornton 21 Jun '02

21 Jun '02

We jsut upgraded our TC chassis to the lastest available code (yes we paid for support) and the phones have stopped ringing. We always had a certain level of calls with various connection problems of one sort or another, but that seems to have dried up in the week since we installed the new code. We made the decision to go with the paid support over replacement of our chassis strictly on financial grounds. There was no way to amortize new equipment costs for our dialup market. Yes, it blows to have to pay for something others get for free, however I must say the support I have gotten is so much better than what I ever got from 3Com directly. There has been no backlash from the new code that I have found which is also a welcome change.

Connection Problems with new circuits
by Kevin Hemsley 21 Jun '02

21 Jun '02

A while back, the phone company moved the old copper T1 circuits at one of our POPs onto fiber. From that day forward, *Many* users have experienced connection problems: can't connect, frequent disconnects. These users can dial other POPs and connect fine. Multiple trouble tickets with the phone company have resulted in multiple switch technicians going through the phone company's switch configuration, but none have found anything wrong. Some customers seem to connect fine, others can't connect at all. The over-all utilization of this POP has dropped 40% - 50% since the switch to fiber. Users began calling out other POPs. The problem "seems" to be related to where a customer calls from. We have provided phone numbers of example customers who are experiencing the problem to the phone company, but they haven't been able to find anything. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? We are running multiple chassis all running Hiper DSPs at this POP. Thanks, Kevin. ------------------------------------------------------ Kevin Hemsley Systems Engineer kev(a)ida.net NF7J
