Re: (ASCEND) Getting Customer Downstream Speeds


DO NOT DO THIS!

I did this to one of our max 4004's and both times after a couple
of hours, the max began crashing--

it would answer calls, display a prompt, and would not echo back 
the login id when the user entered it.   turning modemdiag OFF did
not resolve the problem, and the only solution was to reboot the max.

I repeat- do NOT use modemdiag.  It -will- crash your max.


Ascend:  we really need to be able to see customer downstream speeds,
and modemdiag is too unstable and crashes the max- so we can't use
it even as a workaround.

Subject: (ASCEND) Getting Customer Downstream Speeds

Since this information is very important for everyone who's doing Flex
this is what I'm doing until the code comes out for reporting downlaod
speeds:

1- start a capture file either w/ unix "script" command or as a telnet
client
capture option.
2- log into the max 4048, and enter the debugger (Ctrl-D  then 'D')
3- enter:   modemdiag

While I don't like having to do this in this way- at least there's the
information which we all need.

About the "TERMINATION REASON" field- it looks like "LINK DISCONNECT" is
reported by the MAX to be noModemLossCarrier (code 11), and a TERMINATION
REASON of "GSTN CLEARDOWN" (gstn is general switched telephone network-
just means the -channel- was dropped) is reported as the 185 code "Hung
Up".

What is interesting is that 1.054 of the rockwell code (maybe it was in
there
earlier-- I don't recall) has some more information in the AT&V1 diag
listing-
number of retrains and so on.

I don't think it's a good idea to leave modemdiag on -- I saw a few times
over about 15 minutes actual user-data show up in the debugger- PPP
garbage and once a login id popped up.  So, the modemdiag command might be
a little buggy.
