Quad v.34 digital modem, E1 PRI - no answer
by Kundan Khanal 24 Jan '04

24 Jan '04

I am trying to configure the total control system with dual E1 PRI nac, Quad v.34 digital modem, Netserver Pri and NMC. I have managed to configure the nmc through the cli and E1 pri card through the total control manager.. i also configured the netserver card through the cli as i could not connect using the netserver manager plus. The problem is that when the user dials to the total control box he does not receive the username: password: prompt. There is nothing.. no response.. please help. I am also bit confused about configuring the modems.. is it via the total control manager or through the netserver configuration. Thanks in advance. HTP WebEmail - HTP Communication P.

TCM 7.0.7 over remote subnet
by John R. Aynesworth 22 Jan '04

22 Jan '04

I can only get Total Control Manager 7.0.7 to access TC chassis that are on the same IP subnet, which is a little awkward. Is there a way to get around this limitation? John R.

Timeslot Unavailable
by Dev 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

This List ROCKS! Okay I now have access to the correct modems on the t1 card! Now i am trying to dial out and i get a no carrier error (carrier light is on) I do an ATI6 and see: Failed to Connect Reason is Timeslot Unavailable When i was on the phone with my Telco they are not getting a wink when they tried dialing my number? I am thinking this is all associated. I do have the TCM and have it set for wink but no go. I am not able to plug in via the consol port (no cable ) Any Clues and suggestions? Thank you to everyone who has helped and will help in the future!!!

Dial-out/In help
by Dev 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

Hello all, I just got a T1 installed and plugged into the T1/E1 DSP card. I have a Green carrier light and no error lights. I want to test the T1 by dialing out to my cell phone and well it is not working. I have a user setup as a dial out user. I telnet into the hyperarc as that user and it just drops... no dialing at all? I have been using the HARM via the TCM to do my configuring. Any clues anyone?

They've been buggin me about renewing also, and I've been putting it off. I don't need phone support, only support, and if there's no new software, why bother? Maybe they're pushing the contracts because utstar needs to raise enough money to hire an R&D department? :-) -----Original Message----- From: Randy Cosby [mailto:dcosby@infowest.com] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 12:13 PM To: 'Discussion relating to the 3Com/US Robotics Total Control modemsystems.' Subject: RE: [USR-TC] Hardware/Software compatibility matrix As a followup to that question, does anyone know any good reasons to renew a software support contract now?

Hi there, I have an implementation of asynchronous dial on HiperARC and would like to be able to test remotely the lines connected to the QUADModems. Anyone out there with some insight in doing so? -- Regards, Nyagitari Bosire, Technical Operations UUNET Kenya Ltd.

RE: [USR-TC] Authentication... I am at dead end!!!!
by Kirti S. Bajwa 14 Jan '04

Todd: Yours is the most kind and helpful response. Please help me with my theory (you can play devil's advocate): (a) From ARC terminal screen, I can ping the RADIUS server 12.21.237.15. The response is alive, then (b) I authenticate a user: _auth <UID> <PW> It fails. But here is my concern. On the RADIUS server, I have started the RADIUS server in debug mode (radiusd -x). In every case whenever I tried to test anything on the RADIUS server (RADIUS related), there is a bunch of lines displayed on the RADIUS debug screen. OK now. When I run authentication and it fails, there is no display on the debug screen on the RADIUS server. Therefore, my feeling is that the authentication never reaches the RADIUS server else there will be some display on the debug screen. What do you think? If I go along with this theory, then that means, something is blocking the AUTHENTICATION. There are two places where AUTHENTICATION can be stopped & quietly dropped: (1) Firewall (2) Gateway Router (Tell me if there are more places). I do have firewall (shorewall). I stopped it completely and then tried to AUTHENTICATE. No change. Now I think the problem may be the Gateway Router, which is a CISCO 26XX & managed by AT&T. After doing some research, it seems that 3Com TC does not talk to any server directly but always send its inquiries to a Gateway Router, which in turn determines that the command is for a local server and sends it back to the local network. Now I am not an expert on CISCO equipment but I think that AT&T has programmed their router in such a way that it drops the traffic directed from the (internal) network to (internal) network and only traffic from the Internet to the (internal) network and from (internal) network to Internet pass through. I have not talk to AT&T yet but you (or others on this list) can give their thoughts. Thanks.

Subject: RE: [USR-TC] Authentication... I am at dead end!!!! It would be helpful to have more then 1 radius packet...can you copy and paste a "show ppp settings" please. It does seem a bit weird that you see the following in your radius packet: Initial-Connect-Rate : 1(NONE) That could be that it doesn't show a connect b/c of the failed auth...I'm not positive. Hard to tell with just the 1 packet. I'm wondering what your " DIAL_IN Users Authenticate:" is set to....it should be set to PAP. You should see that under a 'show ppp settings'. You're positive the radius secret is the same on the arc and your radius box? You can double check on the arc using: _reveal commands _show autheNTICATION radIUS secRETS If all else fails...if you would like to setup a temp account to the arc I can jump in and take a look in my spare time.
