Thus spake Greg owens
We are having some problems with all, but mainly one DSP card continually having a pair of modems hanging up. (Resetting the card about 3 to 4 times a week. All DSP cards are running the same code 2.0.81) I spoke with our vendor about sending this card back for repairs as the others do not hang up nearly as often. Thir solution was to tell me I need to put the 2.6.0 code in there that it had all the fixes for this. I thought that 2.0.6 was the revision that had a fix for this. I spoke with them about this and they said no the 2.6.0 code is newer than the 2.0.6 Am I nutts (insert your private joke here) but I thought the lower the revision number the newer the code. Has anyone seen any major improvements with any of these codes? And what would you suggest? Many Thanks and HAPPY HOLIDAYS
You want 2.0.60...it has a workaround (note...not fix) for the hanging modem issue...it does proactive aggressive resets on the modems when this occurs. 2.6.0 doesn't exist. The numbering system is nothing so simple as you describe it here. The first two numbers are as you would normally expect (higher numbers are later)...for the third number though, basic releases count up, then Engineering Releases and Service Releases (ER's and SR's) count down. This means that there will be an initial release (for 2.0.x in the DSP's, it was 2.0.19), then there will likely be later ER's and SR's that you might be using (for DSP's, 2.0.81 was the first SR, 2.0.60 was the next one, 2.0.51 will likely be the third). The general consensus is that 2.0.60 does help with the hung modem issue...its not perfect, but its better. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
