RE: [USR-TC] compression
So your radius is sending the wrong value for "auto", it needs to be a 4. -----Original Message----- From: Joel - Fox Computers Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 1:22 PM To: Discussion relating to the 3Com/US Robotics Total Control modemsystems.

But, what is going to happen when someone connects with a non-microsoft client like Mac or Linux? I also noted that there is an Ascend compression and we do have one TNTMax box and I wonder if that should be a concern. Basically it appears as if the auto setting is seen as the same as the none setting. Does anyone know the numerical value for Auto? What I guess I am sending is "0" which is none. If I Knew the true value I could fix my USR dictionary, which I think came from USR. hmmm. Joel, is the auto setting working for you? If so, what does a mon rad show as the response value for it? -- Lewis Bergman Texas Communications 4309 Maple St. Abilene, TX 79602-8044 325-695-6962 ext 301 800-299-6962 _______________________________________________ USR-TC mailing list USR-TC@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/usr-tc _______________________________________________ USR-TC mailing list USR-TC@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/usr-tc
Just a followup on this conversation. It appears the total control is able to auto-assign the compression regardless of the radius attribute being set or not. We're not setting it and we see what Lewis was seeing: jabba> sho session qei INFORMATION FOR SESSION qei Service Type: Framed Framed Protocol: PPP Session Timeout: 46800 Idle Timeout: 900 Speed of Connection: Auto NAS IP Address: x.x.x.x Class: IW.SUNSET#IW Login Service: Telnet Interface Name: slot:1/mod:19 Active Session ID: 1180561 Traffic Threshold: 0 Keep Alive Interval: 0 Framed IP Netmask: 0.0.0.0 MLPPP Fragmentation Threshold: 0 Framed Routing: None Framed Callback Identifier: 0 Compression Algorithm: None Compression Reset Mode: Auto Receive Acc Map: 0 Transmit Acc Map: 0 But looking at the client, we did show microsoft compression turned on in Windows XP.

I guess the "show session" output doesn't really tell what's happening very well, only what Radius has requested for the session. I suppose we could override the default compression settings with Radius if we wanted to. Randy Cosby Vice President InfoWest, Inc P: 435-674-0165x1011 F: 435-674-9654

What happens if you don't set the compression at all in Radius? Does it turn on in the ppp session? The class is something we use to track a couple things - which pop their dialing, whether they are filtered, etc.

Right, we don't set anything compression-related in Radius. The arc does it by default with ppp ccp turned on. Randy
