MessageAdamn, I remade the console cable and it started working back up to the loading the opcode into the ram. Now it stops on the HARC here: 3Com SDL2 Revision: 1.0.05 BIOS Extension Link Date Aug 25 1998 at 14:13:08 Initiating Opcode CRC check...

When I plug into the units NMC here is what I get

Initiating Op
And it just sits there.
Have you set your dip switches 1 and 2 to ON? I found that at 9600 text would get truncated or not displayed at all. Prime example is the Initiating Op, it actually should look more like this: 3Com SDL2 Revision: 1.0.05 BIOS Extension Link Date Aug 25 1998 at 14:13:08 Initiating Opcode CRC check...PASSED Transfering Opcode to RAM... I suggest you set the NMC NAC to 57600 and find out if any other text can be found indicating the cause of the lockup. If that doesn't help, I would use the console cable to upload code with Z-Modem. While still at 57.6k, it should take about 5-15 minutes. -- Adam Barnhill Support Engineer, TotallyFabricated.com Information Technology Engineer, Poplar Bluff Internet, Inc. / Semo.net P.O.

Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 10:24 PM Subject: RE: [USR-TC] Help!! Sounds like the NMC is locking up for some reason. On the other hand, the ARC appears to be working, just with it's config wiped out and not receiving your input. First, I would remove the NMC and put it in another chassis and see if the behavior follows it or not. Also, test whether or not the ARC behaves the same when the NMC is out of the chassis. It may be possible that if the NMC is bad, it's causing the ARC to lock up, or the other way around, but that's only a guess. Also - to confirm that the cable is good - you should be able to plug it into one of the other cards in that chassis and you should get some response to pressing enter on your terminal. If not, then it is the cable. Also, retest your cable on a another chassis. Just because it WAS working, doesn't mean it is now. I've had printer cables in use for years that never get touched, not even bumped, and they just all-of-a-sudden fail one day. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Adkins [mailto:tci@glis.cc] Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 9:12 PM To: Discussion relating to the 3Com/US Robotics Total Control modemsystems. Subject: Re: [USR-TC] Help!! Hi Joel, I am pretty sure the cable is working ok. It works fine on another unit, I have verified the port speed and tried the debug jumper.. It seems that the unit is locking up at a certain point. I don't know what to do at this point.. ----- Original Message ----- From: Joel - Fox Computers To: Discussion relating to the 3Com/US Robotics Total Control modemsystems. Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 9:50 PM Subject: RE: [USR-TC] Help!! First, your Hiper ARC has lost it's configuration. Can you not type an "N" to get a prompt? If not, restart the thing, and when you see the "HiPer Access Router Boot Configuration" menu, try and type something. If you can't type anything there, then your serial cable isn't working. Second, on the NMC - don't have a clue, but you might try removing the debug jumper toward the front of the card and see if starts then. Also - I've found that a serial cable that's wired wrong, or the wrong port settings for your serial port, can cause either the ARC or the NMC to hang indefinitely until you remove the serial cable. Once you confirm that your serial cable is working on the ARC, then plug it into the NMC and see if works better. - Joel -----Original Message----- From: Mike Adkins [mailto:tci@glis.cc] Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 8:28 PM To: usr-tc@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [USR-TC] Help!!
