We have two HiperDSPs in a TC rack and the second one suddenly stopped taking calls. When the first card filled up, callers would get a fast busy. The card in slot 1 works fine, the card is slot 2 gets fast busies when card one fills up. I was on the phone with several telco techs for several hours and they believe the lines are OK. I was upgrading the HiperDSP code about the time the problem occurred, and the card failed, so I thought it was related to that. I plugged in a backup card (just the NAC) into slot2 and the card came up and started taking calls. Which made me think the problem was related to the card. BUT, we are using PRI T1s, the phone company says they are using using NI2, and when I look at the trunk settings for the two slots they are identical except for: TRUNK SETTINGS: SLOT1 SLOT2 Jitter Attenuation attenJitterOnTxmtr attenJitterOnRcvr Primary Switch Type priSwNI2 priSw5ESS My question is whether the HiPer DSP can be set to the wrong primary switch setting and still work? Does the fact that the two different slots are set to different Primary Switch Types mean anything?

Hey guys... I just set up NTP for our TC's... but two of our cards are still 4.2.32... which doesn't support 'SET TIMEZONE US/Eastern'. So those systems are picking up GMT from my NTP server. How can I get them to the correct timezone? Which version of the firmware did the timezone setting appear? Thanx. ----Steve Stephen Amadei Dandy.NET! CTO Atlantic City, NJ

FWIW, the only thing you're dealing with is the display...NTP always talks GMT/UTC, and the timezone setting only changes what is produced for the user initerface or whatever.
Which version of the firmware did the timezone setting appear?
The next one, I believe, 5.0.9. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456

Not necessarily. You really *should* match up the switch types with what the telco is using, but having them wrong will not necessarily cause the span not to work. The variants of ISDN (customer-5ESS, custom-DMS, NI2, etc.) are really pretty close, and for the most part, will likely interoperate...you may not get all the features working exactly correctly, but most of us don't make much use of features on ISDN beyond the basics, so it likely will work with the mismatched settings...I'd fix them, though, just to be on the safe side. You should also be aware that I've had times when telco techs have told me that they are checking the actual settings in the switch when they really weren't...and when I finally *did* get someone to check the actual switch...guess what...the settings were wrong! So...if you really want to check it...stick the original card back in and set it to 5ESS switch type and see if it works. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456
As far as I know 5ESS is NT1 which is Nortel. NI1-2 is a standard that incorporates compatibility with NT1 and 5ESS switches so it should all be good.
