We have a serial connection which looks like:
cisco local remote
AGS with DATATEL DATATEL
V.35 ----- V.35 ------56k---- V.35 ----- SUN
interface CSU/DSU CSU/DSU
Briefly, the remote CSU/DSU will drop CTS although the CSU/DSU is switch set
to leave CTS always on. We have BERT tested the line, swapped CSU/DSU's, and
pretty much done all the testing you would expect. What we can't swap is the
cisco box. Has anyone seen an occurrence where a cisco gateway would cause a
CSU/DSU to drop CTS and leave it that way until the CSU/DSU has been reset?
You might ask why am I questioning the cisco gateway? We have seen the same
symptom once before. We have a two hop circuit. The first hop is on rf modems
on campus the second hop is on DATATEL CSU/DSU's off campus. We got a problem
report that a the remote CSU/DSU was dropping CTS. We could find no problems
on the CSU/DSU line, but when we found and fixed a problem on the rf modem
line, the CSU/DSU ceased to drop CTS. (If you have some idea why fixing the rf
line fixed the CSU/DSU I'd like to hear it.)
The cisco ASG is running GS Software Version 8.0(9). Show controller MCI
yields: MCI 1, controller type 2.1 microcode version 1.0.
Please respond to me at: com1curt@ucsbvm.bitnet When, if, we get a solution
I'll respond to the mailing list. Thank you. Curt
