(usr-tc) HiperARC PNS & LNS
by Clayton Zekelman 10 Dec '99

10 Dec '99

I've been playing with some configurations, trying to get the HiperARC to act as a terminator endpoint for L2TP or PPTP sessions, with little success. In my first attempt, I configured DUN with PPTP on a Win95 machine to connect to one of my HiperARCs. It tried to connect - the hiper tired to go out to the radius server for authentication, but rather than sending the username and password, it sent a username of "local", with an unknown password. I'd like to be able to use the Hiper for terminating L2TP sessions from our LEC for DSL customers as well. Any suggestions/comments/experiences? --- Clayton Zekelman Managed Network Systems Inc.

Re: (usr-tc) TCM 6.023
by Steve Valiunas 10 Dec '99

If you are making span-level changes, make sure you "save T1/E1" on the HiperDSP, then from the NMC, "save chassis to NVRAM" to be safe. The last step is required if you have auto-config enabled on the NMC. Also, you should be using 6.2.17 NMC code (requires TCM 6.0 as well) with the 2.0 HiperDSPs. Note that there is a s/w reset and a h/w reset available on the HiperDSP through TCM. Depending on how you save and how autoConfig is set, each may give you different results.

I did power cycle the whole unit last night to no avail. I did have like 12 calls up while other modems were turning red and giving dead air. I soft busied both T1s, but the remaining calls all ended up getting dropped with Lost-Carrier within 30 minutes. According to Radius logs, 5 of the calls dropped within 2 seconds. One person did call and complain about being dropped. After reading your message, I decided to check the modem assignments in the Netserver. The Netserver seems to think modems are assigned to slot 1. I think I'll try wiping the NVRAM in the Netserver and reconfiguring it.

Re: (usr-tc) X2 Key still necessary

It is not supposed to happen, but sometimes the X2 key can be lost (usually when the NMC is replaced). Please call us at Tech Support and we can help. If you have your proof of purchase it will speed the process, but we should be able to help you get your key back. Please call us at (800) 231-8770. Hope this helps.

Someone else with more operational experience might be able to tell you specific quirks that they may have found. You may find some unusual behavior if you mix codes from different releases within the same chassis.

(usr-tc) USR-TC chassis dying. Help!
by Brian Elfert 09 Dec '99

09 Dec '99

One of my USR-TC chassis appears to be dying or it's dead already. It's the old 2059 bundle with Quad modems and a Netserver card. I first noticed a problem Sunday morning when I came in to do a system upgrade. It seemed strange that TC rack had zero calls and the other TCs had about 10 calls each. One of the modem cards on the rack was in alarm, so I powercycled the rack. The modem card just flashed red after, so I reflashed the card and all was well. Now, tonight I got a call saying callers were getting dead air. There were callers up on the rack, but far fewer than the other racks. I called in, and sure enough most calls to that rack got dead air, with the modem led going red instead of orange. I soft busied that rack, but every single caller on the rack eventually got dropped with a lost carrier. 5 of the callers got a lost carrier within 2 seconds. I pulled the dead modem card from the rack and power cycled it. After that, every single caller gets dead air, but the modem lights now go orange instead of red. I took the modem rack out of service until tomorrow. Where do I start on fixing this? Do I just declare it a total loss and buy a new one? I do have spares for every part except the modem cards. (The T1s are good, as they work on some extra modem ports I have.) Brian - 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) Total Control warranty
by Brian Elfert 08 Dec '99

What exactly is the warranty on a Total Control unit? Krish is telling me it's 5 years because he got a three year old Netserver card replaced at some point. But logisitics tells me the warranty is just two years. If I still have a warranty on my 2.5 year old unit, I'd probably just as well send the damn thing to 3Com and have them figure out what the heck's wrong and replace the broken pieces.
