RE: [USR-TC] PRI vs. Channelized T1
After a period of time, 5.3.3 seemed to show users as being connected when they really were not. 5.3.110 doesn't do this. I've also seen 5.3.3 crash a couple times. That's all I know of, but I always figured they probably fixed a couple things or they wouldn't have released the newer version. 5.3.110 - never seen a crash, never had to reboot one. Been running for months without a glitch. Release notes along the way for one of the versions since 5.3.3 I think said something about adding V.92-related things to it's internal dictionary, and also something about removing a bunch of junk debugging code. (the debugging code thing may have been one of the DSP updates, can't remember exactly). Hope that helps. - Joel *********************************** Self-Serving Sig: LOADED TC1000 V.92 Chassis - $2000 Just a couple left, email me at: jfox@foxcomputers.com -----Original Message----- From: Jim McCay [mailto:jmccay@adsnet.com] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 9:35 PM To: Discussion relating to the 3Com/US Robotics Total Control modem systems.

Just a couple observations -
MoH works fine in 4.5, been using it for a long time now with no problems, just not on 3.5.12. DSP 3.5.12 is buggy - 3.5.105 and 3.5.109 seem a lot better ARC 5.3.3 has a few minor glitches, 5.3.110 runs a lot better.

You were supplied with TCS 4.5 (V.92) code. Which translates into being able to use (V.44, Quick Connect phase 1 & 2, and PCM Upstream up to 33k). I have V.44 and Quick connect enabled, but disabled PCM Upstream and MoH. It's my understanding that MoH was not fully implemented in TCS 4.5 anyway.
If you plan on using the supplied code on your cards you need to install that TCM080206.zip file first.
You'll then need to install the following: Hiper DSP 3.5.12 (if you ever downgrade code, pay attention to the release notes or use DSP for doorstop) Hiper ARC 5.3.3 (we had crash/reboot issues with this code, and are currently running 5.3.108) Hiper NMC 8.6.3

I bought a TC chassis with two (2) HyperDSP cards, a HyperARC, and HiperNMC card. I was going to use it as a backup chassis for my existing Quad modem chassing running with a Channelized T1, but now I'm ordering a PRI circuit to replace the T1, since it's cheaper and more reliable, and I want to use new chassis on the PRI.
How do I tell if the new HiperDSP cards are flashed for T1 or PRI? I'm running TCM v6.0.23. I've never flashed any cards before and here are the files I recevied with the unit.
