Send ICMP Host Unreachable for Pool: DISABLED
by Lewis Bergman 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

When I enable the above using: enable ip SEND_HOST_UNREACH_FOR_POOL I notice that my rip built routing tables on my router start to degrade. What I mean is this. I have rip configured on all my hiperarc's and on my backbone router. Without the above enabled all seems to work as expected. With it enabled some clients connect fine, others can connect but can't do anything past the hyperarc. When I investigate I find that some users that don't work do have entries in the table, others don't. I thought enabling that might reduce the size of my routing table further and increase the speed at which disconnected IP's are dropped from the table. It just seems to muck up the waters. Is this just a convergence issue with rip? What is the true function of this feature if not for this purpose? Any input at all. Maybe there is some other function for this? -- Lewis Bergman Texas Communications 4309 Maple St. Abilene, TX 79602-8044 325-691-3301 800-299-6962

Software Update
by Kirti S. Bajwa 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

Hello: About an year ago, I purchased two 3Com (each with 1-HiPer NMC, 2-Hiper ARC & 10-Hiper DSP). I was planning to set them up for a friend. I downloaded and installed software (On some of the components): HiPer NMC: 8.6.3 HiPer ARC: 5.3.110 HiPer DSP: 3.5.12 After about 1+ year of inactivity, I decided to setup 3Com. I noticed that some of the HiPer DSP has old software intalled on them. Using TCM, I decided to update the software and get the following errors: HiPer NMC: Error: No .nac file Uncheck the slot or enter a new file name Hiper ARC: Error: (Same) HiPer DSP: Error: (Same) I noticed that on the Software Download screen Slot colum show cards correctly. NAC/DMF File, SDL File & Status columns are blank. As I said, last year I had done Software Updates but now I can not. Can somebody help me by showing the light? Kirti

I don't know if this would apply to a E1 setup, our setup is a T1/D4 standard setting did not work, the switch I am connecting to is very old, I had to connect a cable directly to the dsp and configure via a CLI, I too had a similar problem, the change was "Answer to Supervision Delay" I pushed it out to "70". (disclaimer) I am not a telco guy, and I think my local telco knows less than I do, I came up with this setting by trying everything.

Thanks. It works.

Subject: Re: [USR-TC] Can not save settings Hello. Here is what I do to change settings: Click on the card (dsp) Go to Configure menu and click on HiPer DSP Mapping to check to which template are your modems mapped (suppose you use X). Then click on Configuration button and check X template. In template configuration change whatever you want. Then go to commands. Do: Save template X config to NVRAM Refresh template X config channels Save modem to NVRAM (don't forget that X is a number) Goto NMC and do Save chassis to NVRAM. Reboot your dsp card to check that your settings are saved. Also check that Auto Config on Card Initialization is disabled in NMC configuration, Config Group. Hope this helps. Kirti S.

To be more specific - in order to get to the trunk settings, you have to click and highlight the 5 lights at the top of the card. Once you do that, then you can click configure, then program settings, and then you'll see trunk settings. Are these giving a fast busy or a normal busy when you dial the DSP? -----Original Message----- From: Todd Bertolozzi [mailto:berto@core.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2004 8:35 AM To: 'Discussion relating to the 3Com/US Robotics Total Controlmodemsystems.'

20 Oct '04

Hello: I am trying to setup a 3COM TC. My config is as follows: Slot 1-10: HiPer DSP Slot 15-16: HiPer ARC Slot 17: Hiper NMC I notice that when I modify HiPer DSP cards from Total Control Manager (TCM), The settings are not save. I am using th following procedure to update Hiper DSP: (1) Open TCM & CLICK on a Hiper DSP card (2) CLICK Configure & Select card (3) Select V.92 (or any changable setting item) & set V.92 Master to enable & Set & OK (4) Commands Then Select Software & then Save Both T1/E1 and Modem to NVRAM & Execute (5) (Still under commands) Select Software then Software rest & Execute (6) Select Hardware then Hardware Reset & Execute All commands result in successful execution. Now if the look into the setting, find that V.92 setting, as changed in (3) above, are back to default. Does anybody has a clue what am I doing wrong? Kirti

Help on DSP busy!
by AkinTunde Popoola 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

Hello All We have a small TC1000 set up with 1 NMC, 1 ARC and three E1 DSP cards. Had been working fine for over a year till it was affected by a lightning strike which burnt connected network cables and took out the NMC and one DSP. After replacement of damaged cards, everything seems to be working fine but the DSPs are not accepting calls. Telco says busy signs are a result of faulty DSPs but they were tested ok on a different site. The entire chassis was changed with a spare yet the busy tones persist even when there is no one connected. We urgently need help! New chassis is populated with old cards and I am wondering if a software upgrade will have an effect. ARC ver 4.1.13, NMC ver 6.2.17, DSP ver 3.5.13 Thanks.
