Hey, guys. The day before leaving for ISPCON, I noticed the NMC we where using with some Quads wasn't X2 enabled... so in a panic, I was able (with someone's help here) to erase the password on another NMC with an X2 key, and get the system fixed up, before leaving... From Florida, I noted the NMC card was only 4.3.4 and wasn't recognizing the HiperDSP or HiperARC... which made for some interesting TCView and MRTG charts... but at least it was running. Yesterday, I finally got around to putting it on my to-do list. I would flash it to 6.1.17 and thats' it... but instead the goddamn NMC card keep timing out, and the flash failed. I then noted it only had 4 Megs DRAM, 2 Megs Flash... *grumble* I switch the flash with an 8 Meg, and put a 16 in DRAM slot 2, but the system ignores the 16 Megger... after fighting with different combos of cards, memory, flash and that infernal PCSDL program for hours, I am able to successfully get the card up on 6.0.9 without upsetting the dialled in customers. Whew... However, suddenly, all the customers get dropped off the DSP... and it's not picking up anymore... so I swap about some PRIs. The box looks normal from the front, but TCView only sees the DSP as a yellow card... the TCM doesn't acknowledge the DSP either, but I can click on the empty slot and bring up programmed settings. What should I try now? I'd like to update the system to 6.1.17, but does that require 8 Meg or Flash or DRAM... I have 8 Flash, but 4 DRAM right now... IIRC, 6.0.9 should like the HiperDSP's fine... right? This is probably a stupid question, but is there anyway to transfer an X2 key? ----Steve Stephen Amadei Dandy.net CTO Atlantic City, NJ - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
