Re: (usr-tc) !Root Password question and version info

In the course of reorganizing our POP, we have cleverly mixed up all the TC boxes and lost the !root passwords. Our goal is to reset the passwords on the units without erasing the other flashed configuration information (v90) and to pull the v34 units from service. My questions then are:
(1) Will enabling Dip Switch 5 erase our v90 flash as well as reset the password (obviously not what we want)? If so, is there another way to reset the !root password (maybe using the adm account?) without losing our v90 flash? (2) Short of reconnecting the entire unit, is there a way to determine if the unit is v90 flashed or just v34 (like a version number, maybe?)?
Rob, The v90 enabler is on the nmc not the netserver. The !root password is needed to get into the netserver not the nmc. For that use the console cable and set the password. The dip switch 5 does not erase the v.90 enabling code. You will however have to reconfigure the nmc or the netserver, ie setting the ip address, gateway etc when you use switch #5, after saving everything make sure you pull the card and put switch 5 back otherwise it will forget what you just configured. Total control manager is used to check the enabling go to configure / program settings / added cost features I am unsure about arc configurations as we don't use them. eric
Thanks - in advance - for any help.

Ok, it has always been my understanding that to support ISDN my T1 lines would need to be BRI or PRI and not CT1. Another ISP in the area thinks it will be supporting ISDN over CT1 on its Lucent(?) equipment. Currently, my CT1 is set for AMI/SF. Is it possible to support ISDN on the TC1000 using CT1? I cannot currently get anything other than AMI on the CT1 at this time. I just reread that paragraph and the number of acronyms would choke a horse.

You can do (at least in theory...not sure if I've ever heard anyone actually doing it) what's called Data Over Voice Bearer Service, (let's go ahead and finish the horse off!) or DOVBS. I don't believe the TC has the best DOVBS support...you have to have a different DNIS number or something like that so that the chassis knows that the calls is coming in as DOVBS rather than a regular data bearer service. Don't quote me on all this as I've never done it...just remember responses from the past about this. I believe, also, that DOVBS limits you to 56kbps channels. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

We do DOVBS 56k on our Lucent PM3's all the time. Have tried to get it to work on our TC's, but never could. Then again, we never really tried too hard, because in each POP we always had the PM3's available as an option. Suffice to say, the trunking *CAN* support it. The TC is another question...
