RE: (usr-tc) NMC not responding
by Mark E. Levy 06 May '03

I;ve had this happen a few times. Just reboot the NMC card by sliding it out if the chassis or via the console interface and it will be well again (until next time). Rebooting the NMC won't affect active users sessions. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark E.

I sent this before but I'm not sure that it went through. I'm trying to use TCM 6.0.23 with Windows XP and I can't get it to install. Anyone doing this? Thanks, Steve Cobb

(usr-tc) FW: [datacomm] Secret access to TCs
by Brian Becker 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

The newest edition to our IT Department (he's been in Tech Support for 3 years) emailed me this afternoon (full email below). I didn't believe him at first so I telneted to on of our TC boxes and when prompted with "Login:" I typed adm and pressed Enter. HOLY COW! It said "Hiper:" and I had full access. I'm curious as to how many people on this list were vulnerable like us (we have 20 TC boxes throughout Southeast Missouri). Brian Brian Becker President, Poplar Bluff Internet, Inc. P.O.

User : adm Would allow access to manage and login to our TCs. The fix was easy. Just 'del user adm' and then 'save all' (thanx Brian) I was actually searching for TC command references, and happened upon ;) a hack list of default and backdoor passwords. The link I originally found a hack article on is http://the.wiretapped.net/security/info/textfiles/k1ine_11.txt and the password list is in that tree somewhere..

(usr-tc) Upgraded TC's
by Mark Thornton 21 Jun '02

21 Jun '02

We jsut upgraded our TC chassis to the lastest available code (yes we paid for support) and the phones have stopped ringing. We always had a certain level of calls with various connection problems of one sort or another, but that seems to have dried up in the week since we installed the new code. We made the decision to go with the paid support over replacement of our chassis strictly on financial grounds. There was no way to amortize new equipment costs for our dialup market. Yes, it blows to have to pay for something others get for free, however I must say the support I have gotten is so much better than what I ever got from 3Com directly. There has been no backlash from the new code that I have found which is also a welcome change.

V92 Update
by Thomas_Goodman＠3com.com 24 Jan '02

24 Jan '02

The v92 BETA as a full system suite will be out to the BETA group by End of Day today 12/21/01. That means that General Available code will be out in approximately 60 days. Feedback that we received was to release the full suite vs. partial suite to give full benefits to end users limiting confusion. The Full Suite of v92 will include: Modem on Hold PCM Upstream Modem Quick Connect and v.44 (replacing v.42bis) increasing to 6:1 compression PCM Upstream will increase users current upstream connection by 10-12Kb/sec. Some Vendors product may see reduction in download speeds to increase upload speeds. Total Control Hardware should not see a degradation on the download side with our dual processor design. This could differentiate your ISP from an ISP competitor if their Remote Access Gear either does not support PCM Upstream or if they share processing power and reduce download speeds. We will report back performance results on this as the BETA sites deploy and provide feedback. Equipment Requirements: HiPer DSPs or Multi-Spans HiPer NMC or 333MHz NMCs HiPer ARC 16/128 or new ARC The HiPer ARC with 16MB Flash and 128MB DRAM have been shipping since October 1998. There are still quite a few customer that will have 8MB Flash and 64MB DRAM in their Network if purchased prior to 1999. For those customers with 8MB Flash on their HiPer ARCs please contact me off list with Qtys, Serial Numbers and if they are used stand alone or as redundant. Happy Holidays, Tom Goodman
