Thanks for the reply, Rick. Long time no hear. Every time we ask SBC-Ameritech to do anything to our hunt group, it turns into a nightmare, so we'll have to think about involving them. Maybe we are trying to solve the wrong problem. What prompted the question was that when the TC logs calls, it doesn't give us the IP number assigned, just the port assignment. For example: Mar 5 07:34:41 arc0 At 07:34:25, Facility "Auth Facility", Level "VERBOSE":: User jra successfully connected to the PPP process for call id 852437 on interface slot:1/mod:14 We need some way of finding out what IP number the user has been assigned, after the fact. If we can get onto the TC while the user is online, we can figure it out with the "list ip networks" command, but once they disconnect, it seems the information is lost. Any suggestions?

If you set it to round robin, a call that comes in on span 1, channel 1, might hit modem card 1 channel 15. What you don't have control over is the TELCOs call routing method (of course, you can call them and request a different routing method). YOU can only control MODEM call routing assignments for calls that hit a particular modem. Same principle: Round Robin from the telco gives you equal distribution/usage of all cards. Round Robin set on the DSP will give you even distribution/usage of modems on that card. In the example below, if you have your DSP's set to distribute calls in a fixed assignment fashion, then you can be pretty sure you received calls from the telco on Span 1/Ch 24 Span 1/ch 22 Span 2/ch 24 Span2/Ch 1 Hope that helps...

I've used both the DSP console level command "set mdmrmeth fixeda" and the TCM method using Configure/Programmed Settings/Card Level/Parameter/Routing Method. A "display mdmrmeth" on each DSP in console mode shows FIXED ASSIGNMENT. Any suggestions? Am I missing something?
