I already flashed it. I mean, before 6.2.17 it had 5.6.<something>, which I haven't read about in any compatibility list. Since I have previously flashed the Dual E1/CAS to v1.3.4 (for BRI over E1 support), I read it's compatibility list and decided to go for 6.2.17 for NMC. Before that, the NMC showed the same behaviour. It might be helpful to say that somewhere in the past the NMC and ARC NACs had been switched by mistake (I mean NMC NAC in the front of the chassis had ARC NIC in the back and viceversa). The TC hadn't been put to work for a long time, so I'm not sure that event determined the problem. Could this be the cause of the RTC error? And does it really measure it's temperature or is that a bogus error? And one more thing: has anyone managed to make ISDN calls to a Dual E1/CAS with firmware 1.3.4 or later? I definitely have a problem with the settings or the signaling here, since `Span Line 1 Status' shows `Physical Status: F7' (which I heaven't heared about in any documentation), and the technical staff at the location (the TC is located elsewhere) tells me the `CD' led for Line 1 is red, while the `Alarm' one is green (??!!). Thank you again for any suggestions. On Mon, 9 Sep 2002, Stephen Rivera - WRCA.Net wrote:
I am having a similar [problem with a NMC card that I am testing right now. I am ZModem'g a code version to it to see if it fixes the problem. The odd thing is that it responds from Hiper Terminal but I cant get it to open up in TCM. My initial boot up reads the same with the test time outs. I'll let youknow if it works.

Hi there to all TC gurus all over the world :) I hope there is someone who can enlighten me regarding the following problem:
Platform: USR TC with HiperNMC Revision 6.2.17 (8M flash, 16M DRAM), HiperARC 4.2.11 and Dual E1/CAS 1.3.4
Problem: when trying to use TCM to connect to the NMC, I get 'No response' just after the fase where it is 'Retrieving NMC version'. Cause (determined by console and eye observation :): the NMC reboots. The same behaviour occurs when I manually snmpwalk it from a Linux machine: reboot at some OIDs (many of them, I haven't tried them all).
Further investigation: just after the 'Transfering Opcode to RAM...' phase, the displayed information looks as follows:
Equipment List Detected: ******************************************************************* * Platform: Hiper NMC * Flash Amount: 8M * DRAM Amount: 16384K * * Chassis: 16-slot * NIC Type: Ethernet * Clocked Chassis * * PSU 1: NOT INSTALLED * * PSU 2: INSTALLED * 130 Amps * AC Type * * Packet Bus Clock Circuit: Installed * Ambient temp: 75F * *******************************************************************

If there is anybody who has encountered this behaviour before and can give me a hint here, I would highly appreciate it.
Thank you.
