3.5.105 is older. I believe it's on the CommWorks web site or from whereever you get your support. Regardless of code version, I've been running V.92 since June '02 and no complaints from anyone. -----Original Message----- From: VCI Help Desk [mailto:admin@vci.net] Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 2:55 PM To: usr-tc(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [USR-TC] 3.5.109 DSP code Where did you get 3.5.105?

I upgraded the DSP cards from 3.5.12 to 3.5.109 as recommended by someone. I have two operational TCs running DSP code 3.1.7 & 2.0.51 My question is does anyone have any recommendations as to what DSP code versions are better? We don't want to run the V92 code because it doesn't seem reliable. We currently have V92 turned off on all of our DSPs. We did a live test this morning with the 3.5.109 software and it ran fine for a while. After a short period of time the #2 card seemed to freeze. Our PRIs started giving busy signals. So we moved the PRIs to another server. The #2 card in this TC (running ver 3.5.109) still had the modem utilization lights on indicating it had about 50% utilization which was incorrect. This card seems to be where the busy signal was coming from. This problem make me wonder about this particular version of code.

Netserver syslog question
by Todd Williams 26 Feb '03

26 Feb '03

Hi all, I seem to be getting a LOT of these very similar messages being written to my syslog server by the Netserver in my TC1000... Feb 26 13:16:22 netserver Chassis Awareness notice: slot# 1, channel# 2, NAC type = 36, new status 1 Feb 26 13:19:03 netserver Chassis Awareness notice: slot# 1, channel# 2, NAC type = 36, new status 0 Feb 26 13:19:09 netserver Chassis Awareness notice: slot# 1, channel# 2, NAC type = 36, new status 1 Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to squelch some of the "Chassis Awareness notice" messages? I would like to keep the rest of the syslog messages, as they are really useful. However, these are not so useful. If we have to live with them, I guess that is okay. I mostly wanted to know if it was normal or not (which I suspect it is normal), and if there was a way (which I suspect there is not) to selectively chose to not receive these notifications from the netserver. Any help would be appreciated! TIA, Todd

Sorry, not familiar with the Netserver's. Don't have any doc's on it for the jumpers either. Check the software library at http://totalservice.commworks.com for docs on that card.

I'm novice in this field and I might have some mistakes. I would request you to verify what I've done. 1. I'm using a DB9 with RJ45 interface. So I've made a RJ45 to RJ45 cable. The connecting is as follows: 1-------------6 2-------------4 3-------------1 4-------------5 5-------------3 6-------------2 7-------------7 8-------------8 So the connection is "Console port of usr-tc":RJ45---RJ45:DB9 :"COM port of windows pc" And I have no idea about the jumper settings as this device is not a brand new one and I don't have any manual or accessories. I got a manual from the web. Thanks you. Waiting for your reply :-) Ahsan Simon Joel - Fox Computers <jfox(a)foxcomputers.com> wrote: The default for the hardware is usually 9600bps, 8-n-1.
