I have MP 16. What do you mean by a managed MP 16? It would be of interest to me.

Re: (usr-tc) X2 Key still necessary

It is not supposed to happen, but sometimes the X2 key can be lost (usually when the NMC is replaced). Please call us at Tech Support and we can help. If you have your proof of purchase it will speed the process, but we should be able to help you get your key back. Please call us at (800) 231-8770. Hope this helps.

Code for the various cards is tested and released in matched 'systems releases', the latest being TCS3.5. I know of no reason why you should not run the code from this release. Someone else with more operational experience might be able to tell you specific quirks that they may have found. You may find some unusual behavior if you mix codes from different releases within the same chassis. The Software Compatibility Matrix is posted on http://totalservice.3com.com and documents what codes are included in each release. TCS3.5 includes NMC 6.0.9/6.1.17/6.2.17, and Quad 6.0.6/6.1.6.

(usr-tc) USR-TC chassis dying. Help!
by Brian Elfert 09 Dec '99

09 Dec '99

One of my USR-TC chassis appears to be dying or it's dead already. It's the old 2059 bundle with Quad modems and a Netserver card. I first noticed a problem Sunday morning when I came in to do a system upgrade. It seemed strange that TC rack had zero calls and the other TCs had about 10 calls each. One of the modem cards on the rack was in alarm, so I powercycled the rack. The modem card just flashed red after, so I reflashed the card and all was well. Now, tonight I got a call saying callers were getting dead air. There were callers up on the rack, but far fewer than the other racks. I called in, and sure enough most calls to that rack got dead air, with the modem led going red instead of orange. I soft busied that rack, but every single caller on the rack eventually got dropped with a lost carrier. 5 of the callers got a lost carrier within 2 seconds. I pulled the dead modem card from the rack and power cycled it. After that, every single caller gets dead air, but the modem lights now go orange instead of red. I took the modem rack out of service until tomorrow. Where do I start on fixing this? Do I just declare it a total loss and buy a new one? I do have spares for every part except the modem cards. (The T1s are good, as they work on some extra modem ports I have.) Brian - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

(usr-tc) Total Control warranty
by Brian Elfert 08 Dec '99

08 Dec '99

What exactly is the warranty on a Total Control unit? Krish is telling me it's 5 years because he got a three year old Netserver card replaced at some point. But logisitics tells me the warranty is just two years. If I still have a warranty on my 2.5 year old unit, I'd probably just as well send the damn thing to 3Com and have them figure out what the heck's wrong and replace the broken pieces.

(usr-tc) Dead TC unit - Update 2 - HELP!
by Brian Elfert 08 Dec '99

08 Dec '99

I've been playing with a dead TC unit for hours now, and I still can't get it working. It has 45A chassis, quad modems, PRI NAC with T1 software, and a Netserver card. At present, it appears to only answer on a channel or two. The rest of the channels get dead air. The telco is reporting not getting a wink back when they test it. (This T1 works fine with other units) I've tried: 1. Setting all modems to default, and resetting them all. 2. Moving all cards from this unit to a spare 45A chassis. 3. Copying config of PRI NAC and quad modems from a working chassis. 4. Removed all but one modem card. Seemed to answer calls fine with one modem card during two hours of bombarding it with calls. 5. Power cycled a dozen times. 6. Set all modems to inactive in Netserver and reactivated them. Any other ideas? I have 6 more quad modem cards I can pull from a working unit, but I don't want to end up frying them somehow. I also have a 186 T1 card I could try swapping in, but I think it has old software, and it may not work with the rest of the software revs. Would swapping out the Netserver card and NMC card possibly help?

(usr-tc) Telnet lock out?
by farber＠admin.f-tech.net 08 Dec '99

08 Dec '99

Hello all I'm writing a perl script to log into an ARC and get some info.... but it seems that after so many invalid login attemps you get locked out (i believe the RFC says 10 minutes?). Can I turn that off? I do have the ip listed in telnet client's table.

(usr-tc) Software Download for MP16
by Dave Martin 08 Dec '99

08 Dec '99

I need to reflash some modems on an MP16 that have somehow gotten themselves stuck waiting for software download and cannot for the life of me find the software on the 3com web site. I found the mpv90an.zip file that contains the MP12_02.exe downloader but would rather use TCM to perform the download since the MP is about 1.5 hours away. Can anyone point the way?

(usr-tc) anti-spoofing, per user
by Jesse Sipprell 08 Dec '99

08 Dec '99

Until recently I had been using: enable ip SOURCE_ADDRESS_FILTER set network user default PPP_SOURCE_IP_FILTER enabled to prevent network users from spoofing source addresses. I now have one customer who has the need to have multiple subnets routed to them, which requires me to turn this option off globally. Is there any method of leaving this ON, but turning off PPP_SOURCE_IP_FILTER for a specific user via RADIUS?

(usr-tc) X2 Key still necessary
by Ralph Helfenberger 08 Dec '99

08 Dec '99

Hi everybody I would like to upgrade a Netserver/Quadmodem based Chasis to V.90. When I did this last year I had to buy a X2 enable key. This product is no longer available. So the question I have: Is this key still necessary? Or do I just upgrade the Quadmodems to the latest code and then I have V.90 automatically enabled?
