While I would have rathered not installed new hardware either, it has improved other things unexpectedly. Our MRTG queries almost never fail now, and the TCM management works, both locally and remotely. With the older NMC card I could never use TCM if I was not connected to the local network here in the office. Software installs worked flawlessly as well, which I could never say about the old NMC. We were always getting timeouts. I know some have never seen those types of problems and for them the upgrade is going to be harder to justify. In my case I was able to do so after the fact.

Hi Thomas,

For those that have a need to only upgrade their NMC card be v.92 ready. We are able to build out a limited number of HiPer NMC cards and add a HiPer DSP card to get the pricing down.
Thanks for posting that information here, it is appreciated.
Can you also please clarify why the NMC must be upgraded to enable a feature on the DSP cards? Specifically, with an old NMC, will I just not have the ability to set values via TCM on v.92 settings, or will the feature be completely disabled on the DSP card if it does not see a current NMC software revision?
Can anyone with beta access confirm or deny this?
I'm quite happy with my NMCs at this point, they serve their purpose. I would rather not buy more hardware just for v.92 support.
Thanks,
Charles
