The X2 key is a Feature Enable that is entered in to your NMC card on Quad chassis only. DSP cards come with V.90 enabled already. It is only an issue for Quad chassis and the presence of a NETServer, Hiper Arc, or Edgeserver Pro is completely not relevant. The only time trouble arises is if/when the X2 key gets lost or corrupted on the NMC. The the X2 key (just an alphanumeric string) then must be re-entered. Most frequently we see this when someone has an NMC that goes south (electrical storms anyone???) and then the key must be re-entered on the new NMC card. We have files listing all registered X2 key holders, but this particular database is much easier to access if we have proof of ownership. So if anyone has a problem with a lost X2 key, just call us at Tech Support. We are here to help. Tech Support: (800) 231-8770. Hope this helps to clarify this issue and answer everyones questions.

NETServer/HARC has nothing to do with it...they just see "serial ports" on the packet bus from the modem cards (either quad or DSP). If you have Quad modem cards, you have to have the key...DSP's have v.90 hard-coded into them, and as such don't require the key.

But do the HARC/DSP systems need an X2 key to do X2, I KNOW they have v.90.

Oh...no...x2 and v.90 are controlled together by the x2 key. -- 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.
