USR NETServer/16 I-modem
by David T. Thomas 10 Aug '03

10 Aug '03

Good morning all, My ISDN lines have finally been installed correctly and my NETServer is answering calls. The NETServer currently only supports V.34 connections and I need to upgrade to V.90. I have downloaded the V.90 service release and code from http://support.3com.com/software/smofficesw.htm. However when I try to upload the new configuration I receive an error stating "Wrong card for this upgrade". (All other firmware upgrades did work) I have read on many web-sites and on list archives that the NETServer I-modem is upgradeable to V.90. Does anyone have the firmware upgrade, or could anyone point me in the right direction? Many thanks once again. David.

Thanks in adavance Ahamed Bauani. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com

V.44 Question?
by Kirti S. Bajwa 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

Has anyone tried using V.44 compression on 3Com TC? I understand V.44 compression results into better throughput! Is it correct? How mush better throughput is realized? Thanks.

Really thanks for your suggation, I will try it tomorrow, as I am not in front of that device ( that is on my office). Do you think am i right on my point, that this problem began for somehow I have remove consol facality and IP from this card, or any other problem you may think.... pls. let me know.

PRI vs. Channelized T1
by Scott Wiersum 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

I bought a TC chassis with two (2) HyperDSP cards, a HyperARC, and HiperNMC card. I was going to use it as a backup chassis for my existing Quad modem chassing running with a Channelized T1, but now I'm ordering a PRI circuit to replace the T1, since it's cheaper and more reliable, and I want to use new chassis on the PRI. How do I tell if the new HiperDSP cards are flashed for T1 or PRI? I'm running TCM v6.0.23. I've never flashed any cards before and here are the files I recevied with the unit. -rw-r--r-- 1 wie-web site23 3850727 Oct 18 2002 HiPer ARC_Access Router Card v5_3_2.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 wie-web site23 1279591 Oct 18 2002 HiPer DSP E1_PRI v3_5_13.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 wie-web site23 1270724 Oct 18 2002 HiPer DSP v3_5_12.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 wie-web site23 859585 Oct 18 2002 HiPer NMCv8_6_3.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 wie-web site23 1629631 Oct 18 2002 Maintenance Guide.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 wie-web site23 1546963 Oct 18 2002 MutliSpan DSP T1_PRI v3_5_12.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 wie-web site23 859606 Oct 18 2002 NMC333v8_7_3.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 wie-web site23 1371270 Oct 18 2002 Trouble Locating and Clearing Guide.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 wie-web site23 1354444 Oct 18 2002 harm118win.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 wie-web site23 512000 Oct 18 2002 hd35103.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 wie-web site23 1269359 Oct 18 2002 hd35105.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 wie-web site23 3870614 Oct 18 2002 ne050303.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 wie-web site23 3865908 Oct 18 2002 ne0503107.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 wie-web site23 17345026 Oct 18 2002 tcm080206.zip Scott Wiersum scott(a)smartgate.com

After a period of time, 5.3.3 seemed to show users as being connected when they really were not. 5.3.110 doesn't do this. I've also seen 5.3.3 crash a couple times. That's all I know of, but I always figured they probably fixed a couple things or they wouldn't have released the newer version. 5.3.110 - never seen a crash, never had to reboot one. Been running for months without a glitch. Release notes along the way for one of the versions since 5.3.3 I think said something about adding V.92-related things to it's internal dictionary, and also something about removing a bunch of junk debugging code. (the debugging code thing may have been one of the DSP updates, can't remember exactly). Hope that helps. - Joel *********************************** Self-Serving Sig: LOADED TC1000 V.92 Chassis - $2000 Just a couple left, email me at: jfox(a)foxcomputers.com -----Original Message----- From: Jim McCay [mailto:jmccay@adsnet.com] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 9:35 PM To: Discussion relating to the 3Com/US Robotics Total Control modem systems.

RE: [USR-TC] Factory Default of Hiper ARC
by Joel - Fox Computers 08 Aug '03

I'm taking a wild guess here, but your card may be bad. Normally, no matter what is set up on the card, I think it should get farther than that. It should display the boot-up menu at the console which gives you an option to erase the configuration, which basically clears everything out to default and gives you the chance to reconfigure the card. Like I said, just a guess, but if mine did that, I'd be swapping in a different ARC. - Joel -----Original Message----- From: Ahamed Bauani [mailto:bauani@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, August 08, 2003 9:43 AM To: usr-tc(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [USR-TC] Factory Default of Hiper ARC Hello All I have a grate problem.

Continuing ISDN Problem
by Dr. David T. Thomas 06 Aug '03

06 Aug '03

Good morning all, I have a USRobotics Total Control NETServer/16 I-modem which I hope to use for dial-in access for remote users. I have had 4 ISDN lines installed. These are connected to a network terminator and then the NETServer. The switch protocol used here in Northern Cyprus is Euro-ISDN (I have confirmed this many times with the not-so-helpful telcom staff) The problem I have now is as so: 1. When I set the switch protocol to Euro-ISDN (*w=2 or ETSI-NET3) the Physical Interface goes Active but the Data Link Layer is inactive. After about a minute both the Physical Interface and Data Link Layer goes inactive. 2. While playing around with the settings, I set the switch protocol to AT&T (*w=0). When I do this both the Physical Interface and Data Link Layer go Active. However I cannot dial out (atdt command gives NO RESPONSE or NO CARRIER) and no one can dial in. A technician told me that Euro-ISDN is indeed the protocol to be used and that the telecom have obviously not setup the line correctly (something about the Data Link being activated). The telecom people however keep telling me that they have done everything on their end and that there is a problem with the settings on my modem or that my modems are not working. All 16 of them! Every person I talk to seems to say something different. I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on to this problem. Has anyone had a similar experience before? Many thanks once again.
