Hi All, Hoping some of you long-time Total Control'ers can point me in the right direction. We have a "middle-aged" Total Control chassis containing a Dual PRI NIC/NAC, 12 x V.90 Quad Modem Cards, Netserver PRI NIC/NAC and Network Management Card NIC/NAC. We only currently have one PRI connected servicing 23 channels. I've been told that we can gain faster call setup and some other minor benefits if we were to migrate to a Hyper DSP setup, not to mention just being out of the quad-modem "dark ages". I've been nosing around and simply from a shipping cost standpoint I'd rather pick up the required cards separately and not the whole chassis (besides which, what would I do with *another* spare chassis :-) Do I need to replace everything at once, or can I for example pull out the NMC, put in a Hyper NMC and keep running with the quads and the rest of the stuff in the chassis (even temporarily)... then replace the Netserver PRI with Hyper Access Router, etc. etc. IE. is it an all at once thing, or can I do it piecemeal as I find good deals on individual card sets. Also, is there a difference on the Hyper DSP's as to whether I am hooking to a T1 or PRI, I know we had to be careful to get the PRI version way back when the chassis was purchased since the telco here uses PRI rather than T1. And I guess the other question is can anybody list off the parts I need to look for (with part numbers would be fantastic). As I understand it I need... 1 x Hyper DSP NIC/NAC set 1 x Hyper NMC NIC/NAC set 1 x Hyper Access Router NIC/NAC set Anything I've missed? Anything I don't really need? If this was a matter of buying the equipment new we probably wouldn't bother... but we figure for a relatively small investment in used parts this gets us a little more current :-) Thanks much for any help you guys can provide! Cheers,
Mike <<<<<
P.S. If anybody has a source for cheap cheap cheap 70A AC PSI/PSU sets please drop me a note off-list, I need to pick up a few spare sets since the last couple spare chassis I bought came with *&(*^#*&$ DC power supplies (anybody need some spare DC power supplies???) HEHE

It depends on what you want. If you need v.92, get the whole package. You can mix and match on your way, but for v.92, you need the DSP card (since there's no v.92 code for quads) and supposedly the HiPer NMC to enable v.92 (but I think you may be able to enable it from the dsp console). If you don't need v.92, I'd just think about swapping the Netserver for a HiPer ARC. The quads are really great modems, and the regular NMC card should be zippy enough on a half-loaded rack. Charles

Hello list, We recently upgraded from 5.3.100 to.105 on the DSP's and now have a cusomer who can't connect with their conexant 56k soft PCI modem. It doesn't seem to get pass the handshaking, then drops the connection. Any body have any sugggestions? -Philip
