Can anyone explain the difference between the "Hiper NMC" and the "NMC 333"? Aside from the faster processor, what would be the benefit of upgrading? Just curious. Thanks, Joel

The EdgeServer is used as an NT4 RAS (or RRAS) server and is used instead of a HiperARC (it is an older alternative product which is now EOLed). If you need help setting up the system I have plenty of experience with it. Please feel free to contact me directly.

Well, I'm pretty much a newbie myself, but I'll take a stab at it: The default settings to access the system via the console cable, hyperterm should be set to: 8/N/1 9600 There may be other settings. The Edge Server Pro is not need to use the unit to accept and route calls. The HiperDSP are capable of taking 23 or 24 calls, depending upon how they are configured. You didn't mention a HiperArc card. I don't think the unit can be used without one. That's the router. We use the TCM software to manage our unit. We also use TotalScrutinizer to analyze connections. Best $90 bucks I ever spent.

NFAS and Qwest
by Randy Cosby 13 Aug '02

13 Aug '02

Qwest is going to be offering PRI in one of our service areas soon. We have always used chan-t1 on our total controls up to now. I've read through some of the comments about the hassle of coordinating NFAS with the phone company. If we can convert our lines to PRI, we really don't save much money unless we can run NFAS. Has anyone had experience with Qwest and NFAS? Is it worth the hassle? Randy Cosby Vice President InfoWest, Inc. P: 435-674-0165 x 11 F: 435-674-9654

RE: [USR-TC] V92 Press Release Offer
by Joel - Fox Computers 12 Aug '02

FYI - I'm running V.92 with 3.5.103 on my DSPs and haven't had any other problems. Some users with "V.92" modems get the quick-connect, but don't see any upstream PCM. Others, mostly with USR modems, are getting PCM upstream with speeds like 50.7K-down/30.7K-up. No one is complaining about anything, so it must be doing OK. Of course I don't have 12000 customers either.

I should qualify that - for those of you that have seen me post on here, I've had a mess of problems, but it turns out none were caused by the DSPs or the version of code we're running. -----Original Message----- From: Joel - Fox Computers Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 12:01 PM To: usr-tc(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: RE: [USR-TC] V92 Press Release Offer FYI - I'm running V.92 with 3.5.103 on my DSPs and haven't had any other problems.

I did notice that going from older versions, like 3.1.7 to 3.5.x seemed to lose the settings, but smaller upgrades, like 3.5.12->3.5.103 seem to hold settings no problem. -----Original Message----- From: Cindy Smith [mailto:cindyo@ktc.com] Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 12:53 PM To: usr-tc(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: RE: [USR-TC] V92 Press Release Offer Any weird "gotchas" on the upgrade.

fail calls counters/modem monitoring
by pankaj 09 Aug '02

09 Aug '02

I am observing fail calls(badmodems.pl) for DSPs( e1/r2 lines) performance monitoring. Now I want to reset that calls statistics counters for one DSP only, and want to observe from 1 now. How do I do counter reset for that dsp only ??? I gone through TCS docs online ,but unable to find any proper command. I have 30 channel( slot:1/mod:[1-30]) in one e1/r2, now my telco complaining me that, few out of it are blocked or looped from my end, and so that customers are not able to use all 30 channel, he gave me that channel numbers also. Now I dont know how do I troubleshoot it. and any good way to monitor it in proper way. Regards Pankaj
