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. -Will -- Will Pierce System Administrator Dreamscape Online, LLC. willp@dreamscape.com ---- From: Will Pierce <willp@dreamscape.com> To: ascend-users@bungi.com Date: Tuesday, September 02, 1997 4:14 PM 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. -Will ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <STRONG>Follow-Ups</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg08337.html">Re: (ASCEND) Getting Customer Downstream Speeds</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Jason Nealis <nealis@babylon.erols.com></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg08326.html">(ASCEND) Pipeline 75b NAT vs Quake World</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg08331.html">(ASCEND) Java Configurator expired</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg08263.html">(ASCEND) Getting Customer Downstream Speeds</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg08337.html">Re: (ASCEND) Getting Customer Downstream Speeds</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="mail23.html#08325"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd148.html#08325"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
