(usr-tc) DSP Problems/Losing modems
We have had perennial problems with Hiper modems suddenly not responding. Every other day I get a random modem or two that stops responding per card. Rarely a software reset will return the modem to service. Usually, I wait a week until I have several, then do a hardware reset. This returns most to service, except the occasional bad channel. I am running 2.0.60 per 3com. I am not using 2.0.51 as I am under the impression it is for a newer hardware version than we own. I have not yet upgraded the Hiperarc software to the latest-I am waiting for the next time I do aforementioned hardware resets. (Day traders get very upset if they get booted : ). Suggestions and questions? Thanks Christopher Berry rof.net Web Design and Technical Support (970) 945-4920 x17
The HiPer DSP code 2.0.60 will usually put timeslots Local Out of Service when a modem pair fails to reset. While this is still better than 2.0.81 where you may get fast busies or no answer, it's still not a complete solution. This scenario is true when the DSP mdmfail is set to Combo mode and the call routing method mdmrmeth is set to fixed assignment. You should only run 2.0.51 if you have a rev 0.55 with Alliance SRAM chips on it instead of ISSI chips. Other 0.55 boards and older revs should run fine on 2.0.60 eventhough we have to put up with this annoying bug until 3Com fixes it.

Is there a problem running 2.0.51 on older revs??? Thanks John

Not that I can see. I'm running 2.0.51 on 0.49 & 0.53 rev DSPs. I had problems with 2.0.60 with Rockwell modems (so much so that I went back to 2.0.19), and although the release notes indicate that there is still an unresolved issue with 2.0.51 & Rockwell disconnects on the speed shift, it's working much better.

Thanks- I will try this on a card or two and see. We have problems with Rockwell modems anyway-Compaqs and Macs-But suggest that the users update via softpaq (for Compaqs) or go with v.34 (for Macs-most lines here are phone company limited to 26400 anyway). Will post any relevant data. Christopher Berry rof.net Web Design and Technical Support (970) 945-4920 x17 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark E.

2.0.51 works on my 0.53 rev modems just as well as it works on the 0.54 ones. Same with 0.49, save one v.42bis related problem I mentioned earlier -- and I'm 99.99% sure that has nothing to do with the fact that I've got 2.0.51 on it.

The docs actually mention rev 54 & 55 for it. I have put it on all of mine which are 53's and 54's with no ill effects so far. Its been about a week. At 03:03 PM 1/12/00 -0500, you wrote:

You can soft-busy the modems through TCM to bypass them. Normally what I'll do is soft-busy the rest of the card when my nightime useage decreases. This won't knock anybody off but will prevent new connections, By morning, everyone's off the card and I can reset it without affecting anybody.
I am running 2.0.60 per 3com. I am not using 2.0.51 as I am under the impression it is for a newer hardware version than we own.

I had been seeing modem lockups at least weekly with 3 DSPs(0.49.0). I upgraded to ARC 4.2.32/DSP 2.0.81 about 3 months ago. Since then, I had my first modem lockup last night.

Hi, I had the same problem so I upgraded to the latest code and it fixed the problem. Vince At 03:17 PM 1/12/00 -0500, you wrote:
