since last August and had same problems(pair modems hang) 6 or 7 times. But This year, it happened 4 times for 10 days....I had to do reseat it everytime.
That's what I'm experiencing. I'm running the SAME software on our HDSPs and HARC that I've run for OVER A YEAR now. I *never* had the stuck modem problem until recently (shown by my periodic gloating on this very list). I just find it terribly strange that I ran this code with the same config for over a year with no problems. Within a month of my service contract expiring, I start getting stuck modems, the frequency of which continues to increase...nowadays one of my cards won't even go for a single day after a reboot before getting a stuck modem pair. I just don't get it. Thing runs fine for a year of continous service, then starts getting stuck modems once every month and the frequency continues to rise until now when we get stuck modems once a day. Also interesting is that once a given card has a pair of stuck modems, it never seems to get another pair of stuck modems...it'll run for weeks with just one pair of stuck modems. In my case tho, it doesn't need to be reseated...just a hardware reboot (although I blanch at refering to a hardware reboot as 'just a'). At this point, I guess I'll have to go to the new code, although I'm still scared it won't play well with my (still old) code for the NMC and the TCMw. This rant sponsored by events of today. Card in slot15 had a pair of stuck modems...busied out for a couple of days. Got up this morning and it was returning fast busy for all calls. Poked around, the card was reporting (through TCM) *no problems*...nothing even looked odd on every display on TCM. Rebooted and everything was fine. Then, two hours later, a pair of modems got stuck again.
