Reconfigure TC
by Scot Desort 01 Jul '04

01 Jul '04

We are in the process of renumbering our network. We have a Total Control chassis that needs to have it's IP addresses changed, as well as the IP pools changed. In the past using HARM, I found it difficult to manipulate network settings. If I connect to the HARC using the consol cable, can I use the CLI "reconfigure" command to change the Eth1 and Eth2 ip addresses? I am assuming that I will also be able to add a new dialup IP pool and disable/remove the old one via console as well? It's been a long time since I've had to touch this box and I am a little rusty with the HARC CLI. What type of cable is needed for console access? I cannot locate the console cable that the unit would have come with. The docs illustrate a RJ45 cable with a DB25 connector on the end, then it states to add a null-modem adapter to the end to connect to a PC serial port. I have no problem with the null modem adapter, but what about that DB25 connector -- how is it pinned-out? Can I purchase this cable somewhere? Will a Cisco console cable work on it? Thanks, -- Scot

ram for hyper arc
by Jeff Bland 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

after flashing a hyper arc to a much newer code, it only shows 64M of ram installed. does anyone know the specs for what kind of ram I would use to get it to 128M? I probably knew this several years ago, but its long forgotten.

Adam, I have found similar characteristics when the CAT 5 gives out, except that it usually reports Remote out of service. Occasionally, some of them report loos and the other roos. LOOS problems 2 modems at a time can indicate a bad DSP. Check the knowledgebase for more information on bad DSP detection. Modems usually fail in pairs.

RE: [USR-TC] Setting up per-DSP Pools
by Joel - Fox Computers 26 Jun '04

I believe you can create as many IP pools as you need. I've done setups with several of them. I've never had them assigned according to DSP card, but if that doesn't matter, then just set up a separate IP pool for each group of consecutive addresses you want to make available. Did that make sense? -----Original Message----- From: ISN Support Staff [mailto:support@isn.net] Sent: Friday, June 25, 2004 1:35 PM To: Discussion "relating to the 3Com/US Robotics Total Control modem systems.

IE, I have 14 HiperDSP's and two HiperARCs in a chasis, and I want to setup 14 IP pools of 24 ips, rather than make two large pools of 7*24. I don't even care if a DSP's gets IPs from multiple pools, as long as the end result is that I don't have to assign 168 consecutive IPs for my HiperArc pools.

RE: [USR-TC] NFAS settings
by Joel - Fox Computers 18 Jun '04

I've had wierd things happen like that, apparently because some settings were previously saved in the NMC and no matter what you change, the nmc changes them back. Reset your NMC back to factory defaults (config->actions/commands->software then "restore chassis from default", "restore nmc from default", and finally "save chassis to nvram"). That won't remove your IP or anything from the NMC, but once that's done, and you reboot the nmc, you may be able to get your dsp to hold it's settings. I don't claim to know how or why this works, but it has in the past for me. I had a hiper arc that kept setting up it's own ip address and other settings even after a "delete config" command. Doing the above to the NMC fixed the problem. Hope that helps. Thanks, Joel -----Original Message----- From: Todd Bertolozzi [mailto:berto@core.com] Sent: Friday, June 18, 2004 10:55 AM To: Discussion relating to the 3Com/US Robotics Total Control modemsystems. Subject: [USR-TC] NFAS settings Has anyone seen or experienced an issue with Hiper DSP's not saving NFAS settings? I have a couple currently that are setup as nfas and should not be. I'll go in and change the nfas settings so that they are just regular fas. Then I save the T1/modems to nvram. Doesn't matter if I look at the new settings now or after a reboot....they have reverted back to their nfas config. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ USR-TC mailing list USR-TC(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/usr-tc
