Scott -- as the vendor, I'm glad to see the cards are OK! Just got a shipment from 3Com that's the wrong cards and they are blaming me. Of course they forgot the fact that they told me the p/n to order! Much better support on the list than from 3Com! Thanks for the business! Regards, Marty At 03:39 PM 8/16/99 -0500, you wrote:

Ooops. Make that Dip Switch *5*. Not 6.
Dip Switch 5 overrides the need for things like carrier detect on the cable. We cooked up custom cables on ours (so we could hook them to a terminal server for reverse telnet) and ran into this on ARC 4.1.x releases. Your other ARCs were probably set up with 4.0.x software which didn't care.

Turn on dip switch 6, especially if you made your own serial cable...

I just got 3 new HiperARC's. Yippee for me.
My means of configuring them is usually to put the console cable on and configure from there. And I've done several other ARC's this way.
This batch, however, I am getting as far as PROM vers 1.16 made June 16 1998..., Loading System .....OK and that's the last I see---
So I'm rather stuck. Per my NMC, it does load okay (all green), yet I can't get into it to set anything. Tried the usual disconnect, reconnect to the comm port, nope Tried the also usual Control-C,D,X,[,] for some kind of breakout
Nothing...nada....NMC says it's all good, but no more console output or input happening...
Any ideas? I'm hoping it's just as stupid a problem as I feel. Short work once I'm in....
