(usr-tc) Total Control Program
by Paul M. Ledbetter 04 Jul '01

04 Jul '01

Hello all. I am new to this list and have recently started helping out a associate ISP that has TC boxes and TC programs to handle the boxes. I have looked through the recent archives, but could not find the answers to my basic (and probably stupid) questions. These are older TC boxes running TC Radius on an older NT server. I recently upgraded their main server to a new Dell box with 2000 and installed Access to handle the DB, but apparently they cannot find the original TC programs :-| Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the programs so that I can get the new server up and running? I have looked all over for a source but have had no luck as of yet and I am not too keen on calling 3COM, yet.... Thanks in advance for any help on this. I am new at the TC stuff as I have been running Ascend boxes with Emerald for years so my expertise lies in that arena so far :-)) Paul M.

(usr-tc) HiPer DSP failure, suggestions?
by Andy 04 Jul '01

04 Jul '01

If anyone has guesses as to the cause, let me know. BACKGROUND: HiPer DSP was handling a full call load from a PRI circuit causing approxmately 10 minutes of severely errored seconds per 24 hour window. I should mention all the other PRIs at the POP are having local loop problems. Card was maintained under 75 degrees. PROBLEM: Remotely booted TC by placing DSPs in local-out, disconnecting DSP calls, taking DSPs out of service, taking ARC out of service, issued soft reset on NMC. The card in question did not come back up then or after reseating the card. Reseating the card results in the "rainbow" test pattern, then later stops with a red Run/ail light, an orange 40% light, and the below console output with no keyboard response: SDL2 for the PPC403 Flash image has valid CRC, Loading Image Dignostic Power-Up Failure Manufacturing Info -> 1AAA13M0 Mode/Env -> 1/0 Fault Code -> 0-8-25-1 Expected Data -> f01c1f28 Received Data -> e01c1f28 Text Message -> Address Equals Data Test Failure Info Message -> Second read failed. Hard error indicated. Reality probablely is that the card is hosed. I'm more interested in the why. Since it is not even limping along, I'm up for any exotic ideas. --- - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

(usr-tc) Looking for Bad Modems
by Michael J. Hartwick 03 Jul '01

03 Jul '01

Hi, we think that we have a bad modem or two in our USR chassis. How do I go about checking for it? I am more used to PortMasters and I am used to checking with show modem and looking at the number of calls on each modem. Any ideas?

(usr-tc) Quad Analog Modem Problems
by Aaron Daniels 02 Jul '01

02 Jul '01

Hi, I am having problems with some Quad Analog modem cards that I have installed, I cannot get them to stay active I do set modem s49 active and it all appears to work, then I save and reset then I get whats below. the modems report A/I/P then after a reset they go A/A/P but I cant get them A/R/P. Basically the modem is not active because it cannot successfully negociate with the packet bus(I think). after a reset my syslog reports: Apr 28 14:05:19 dialup9.dataheart.net S49 packet bus handle opened. Handle = 26. After this the netserver reports the modem as active all though there is still no HDLC Framing and the interface is still set to Unassigned instead of ptp49 as it usually is. then 30 seconds later: Apr 28 14:05:49 dialup9.dataheart.net S49 packet bus failed to connect! stat=-1 Apr 28 14:05:49 dialup9.dataheart.net S49 packet bus handle closed. now the netserver reports it as inactive again. I have Quad Digital/Analog cards working fine in the same chassis but these Quad Analogs are just not co-operating. any help would be appreciated, the 3com knowledgebase has not helped me.

PM's and Max'es will auto-detect whether the call is voice, data, or data over voice. The TC's, if I understand it correctly, could only do data over voice if its told to do it by called number id or something like that. Basically, you can tell it to do data over voice by assigning a new phone number to your hunt and using that number for a data over voice number. Then when calls come in to that number, the TC will answer with data over voice. I have never done data over voice, but that's how it was described to me back in the day (its been a couple of years since this topic came up I believe) -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm(a)iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

(usr-tc) Data over voice ISDN calls
by RickL＠solunet.com 28 Jun '01

28 Jun '01

Anyone out there in TC-HUB land know if the TC-HUB supports Data over Voice ISDN calls? I understand the Lucent Portmaster 3 does, and the Ascend Max does, but in trying to fork-lift some Portmasters out of one of my customers network, and introduce the TC-HUB, we have discovered that this feature does not work by default, and can not find any documentation to help enable it. Anyone know if the TC-HUB supports this feature and what needs to be done to get it accepting these types of calls? Just FYI: some telcos charge by the minute for Data over ISDN (64k) calls, but charge a flat rate for Data over voice (56K) ISDN calls. This is the reason this feature is important to some customers I think some people use the dial back feature to avoid these tarrifs. sincerely, Rick Rick Louizos Solunet Soluserve - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

Some of the problems I have been having with some t1s and pris I have is due to faulty cards. Does anyone have some nic and nac sets, preferably pri cards, since they go either way, to sell? I would like them asap. I don't want to buy chassis just to get pri cards. thanks eric - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
