radius issue
by Jeff Bland 01 Apr '04

01 Apr '04

running 05.03.107 hiper code is there any magical thing to do to make the radius idle timeout work? (up to this point, we have been relying on the old program called TSMON, but the boss doesn't want the headaches of linux any more). monitoring the radius traffic, it does send the 15 min idle, 2 hour session limits correctly. the session disconnect does work just fine, but the idle goes from not working at all, to being right at 15 min up to the session timeout. I dial in with a laptop, and leave it sitting at the desktop. If I watch the connection through maxstat, the byte count of the connection goes up. Could that be whats blowing the idle, and how do I stop it? if this is some kind of keep-alive, is that configurable? (the laptop is a blissfully stupid win95 machine) If the idle timeout is un-reliable, is there any better way to catch the idle'ers on a consistent basis? Being an isp, this is one of the most important things to us. thanks Jeffrey Bland Computer Central www.ccia.com

WTB: Hiper DSP E1 cards
by Vanessa Madden 01 Apr '04

01 Apr '04

Hi Crew, I'm looking at grabbing at least 2 Hiper DSP 30 port modem cards. They need to have the E1 daughter boards and be E1 compliant. If anyone has any they would like to offload, feel free to email me and we can talk turkey.

RE: [USR-TC] Chassis Density - Terminating 82+ PRIs
by Adam Barnhill 31 Mar '04

31 Mar '04

Hi guys, The only reply I received indicated that I should be sure to use TCS 4.7 due to some internal changes with waitstates on the packet-/mgmt-bus. According to the Software Matrix and what I know of TCS 4.7, it requires me to use Common Element Manager for gui administration. Does anybody know if the newest TCM 8.2.97 will work with TCS 4.7? If CEM is a must for TCS 4.7 does anybody know of specific training classes available? My initial trial of CEM resulted in utter disgust for the software. "Also, does anybody know if the TC 2000 chassis can terminate 82+ CHT1s/PRIs?" To answer my own question... Yes. The TC 2000 chassis terminates a DS3 on each blade with up to 14 blades per shelf. A grand total of 392 Ts per shelf. That's a little much for my situation. ~Adam -----Original Message----- From: usr-tc-bounces+adam=semo.net(a)mailman.xmission.com [mailto:usr-tc-bounces+adam=semo.net@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Adam Barnhill Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 1:29 PM To: 'Discussion relating to the 3Com/US Robotics Total Controlmodemsystems.'

Problem connecting to AS5350 from USB modems
by Patrick Ndegwa 30 Mar '04

30 Mar '04

Hi there, I have recently installed a Cisco AS5350 and connected to 2 R2 lines (this was an upgrade from a 3Com Total Control Chassis - phew!!) I am currently running Cisco 5350 IOS Version 12.2(2)XB2 with SPE firmware version 0.8.5.0. It seems to be accepting connections from most modems except some USB modems like the MECER USB modem. The connections from these modems are characterised by prolonged hand-shaking with no ultimate connection. Typical errors include "...Modem did not respond.." (even after the handshaking has taken place!!!) We have tried with a large number of analogue telephone lines with the same result. Interestingly enough, when I use a USR USB modem, connection is established without a problem. Is there a setting I have missed on AS5350 or on the modem that is causing this? Is it a compatibility problem? Regards, Ndegwa

RE: [USR-TC] HARC - HiPer DSP capacity
by Joel - Fox Computers 28 Mar '04

28 Mar '04

Just FYI - I read in the docs somewhere, that at least with 5.3.3 and later and 128 MB, the Hiper ARC can handle 450 sessions. I have seen older ones that got flaky with too many users, but maybe due to memory shortage(?). Can't say for sure for more current hardware because everyone I've run into with more than a couple DSPs has two 128 MB ARC's now. - Joel -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Lynch [mailto:jeff@mercury.jorsm.com] Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2004 7:45 AM To: gcamiling(a)imvi.com.ph; usr-tc(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [USR-TC] HARC - HiPer DSP capacity Gen Camiling said: > How many HiPer DSP Single span can you install in a TC-1000 HiPer > System chassis?

We ran as many as 10 single-span HDSPs on a single vintage HARC but we noticed some flakyness (ie unexplainable or repeatable issues). We rebalanced to max 7 and no further problems. Not an expert opionion, but our own experiences. --jeff _______________________________________________ USR-TC mailing list USR-TC(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/usr-tc

How many HiPer DSP Single span can you install in a TC-1000 HiPer System chassis? And if you plan of putting just HiPer DSP Multi-Span card, how many can the HARC accomodate? --- Best regards, Gen
