(usr-tc) NMC gone silent
by Jeremy Shaffner 14 Mar '00

14 Mar '00

About a week ago, one of our NMC stopped responding, both to SNMP and to ICMP pings. Yet the HARC indicates that the NMC has at least gotten the SNMP requests: HiPer>> show nmc status NMC STATUS Last NMC Query was received at: 14-MAR-2000 12:12:11 Is there anyway to get it running again without having to drive out to powercycle or reseat it?

(usr-tc) Weird characters appearing as User-Name in HiperARC

Hi there, I have a customer in Sinagpore using HARC 4.1.59-6 for dial-in user (newly installed). The problem they are having is that when monitoring the account records using monitor radius. It shows many unknown userid. Sample below. User-Name : »®Ïæq¢_'óÐ_iîî_·ã»yý_éø&_¥'E¥Ykg_·Ì¤Æ_èË÷¡m$¡58|_·_D_Ec_k__g¿·oA_© User-Name : »®Ïæq¢_'óÐ_iîî_·ã»yý_éø&_¥'E¥Ykg_·Ì¤Æ_èË÷¡m$¡58|_·_D_Ec_k__g¿·oA_© User-Name : S7895476u' User-Name : Ô'#Ô°1_y_÷íà¿>oê°èz_&_, ²ý_Ýîþ@|#Ù__æZÃÙ_ÁÃ²ÃöËÊ*_´GVXÌRð,_34Þ___A-r§- Customer is using Radius for Authentication. Any ideas as to why this is happening. Thanks in advance for any contributions. Regards.

Hi: We have a couple of these boxes, and need to make a console cable like captioned. Anyone have the pinout for this? Real pain in the butt to use adapters, etc. to get the original console cable to work. Thanks!

May be it has something to do with the fact that 1518 is the max MTU permited by ethernet and many sites might have it as the default MTU.

(usr-tc) isdn routing prob?
by Scott Boggs 13 Mar '00

13 Mar '00

I have a client with a D-Link isdn router. We set him up to dial our Total control box. B1 comes up fine, when they start pushing alot of data, B2 comes up fine. Throughput increases approiately. When the demand on the line drops off, the B2 channel will turn off. At that time, they stop passing all traffic. Any idea why everything quits when the B2 disconnects? my codes: DSP 2.0.81 HARC 4.2.32 Note: On the client setup, i made their default gateway two hops away. I have two harcs, when they connect it might go to either one. So i made the Dlink default gateway to the Cisco, one hop upstream from the usr-tc. Dlink--->ISDN Line--->USR-tc--->Cisco--->My ISP Thanks, Scott Boggs Network Administrator United Bank - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

The problem was with users unable to move HTTP traffic from specific websites (90% of all websites worked). As for ISDN routers connecting to the TC, on the trouble sites mentioned above... they could see them with no problem. It was normal analog dialup users on the TC who couldn't see them. I have numerous Pipeline 50's, Webramps, and even a few old Livingston Office routers connecting through the TC with no issues.

(usr-tc) DSP code 2.0.51
by Netadmin 13 Mar '00

13 Mar '00

Curious if anyone has had any problems with the 2.0.51 HiPerDSP code. I am preparing to upgrade from the current version 2.0.60, which recently has not been very stable. A hardware reset will usually bring the card back up, but this has been happening more in the past few weeks. Also, any comments on NMC 6.1.17 and ARC 4.1.22 ?

(usr-tc) ****SOLVED***** Websites failing on TCHub vs Ascend... Where to start?
by Robb Bryn 13 Mar '00

13 Mar '00

Problem Solved... As everyone suspected - it was an MTU problem. More specifically a problem in the MTU size. Setting the MTU size to 1500 via Radius did NOT fix the problem. After a few enlightening words from the folks at Source Technology, and the comments received via this list, I set the MTU size to 1518 in Radius AND on the Default user in the ARC itself. Everything now works flawlessly. I appreciate everyone's help.
