*********** crosposted in noted::lat ******************************* Hi, An application (running on VAX/VMS V6.2) initiates connections (HIC) to a number of ports on a DECserver 700-8 (V1.1a bl45). Four ports have a normal modem connected and two have an ISDN modem. This VMS system has two ethernet interfaces (qna and isa), on both ethernets a lat link is created. User dial in on thes modem and ISDN lines and are then using this application. When the user is finished he disconnects the telephone or ISDN connection. The application gets a hangup and will then reconnect to the decserver port. For the normal modem lines this works fine. On the ISDN lines however, the hangup is not received in the application. Latcp shows that the lta device is still connected, on the server however the port is idle. Also a latcp show connection/full stll shows a VC to this DECserver with multiple sessions including this one... I can imagine that the modem signal timing is different on the ISDN modem but I dont understand how it is possible that the terminal servers port state is idle while VMS still thinks the lta device is connected. Has anybody seen anything like this? Regards, Oswald

Analog modems tell the DECserver to log out the port by dropping DSR or some other signal between the modem and the DECserver. Are your ISDN modems capable of and configured to toggle the same signals as their analog cousins? Is MODEM CONTROL and DSRlogout enabled on the DECserver ports? Jim | |||||

Re .1 Unfortunally I don't have that information (yet), but I fail to see how it is possible that VMS still thinks the port is connected while the port on the server is idle. Regards, Oswald | |||||
| 3466.3 | still an issue | UTRTSC::KNOPPERS | Oswald Knoppers | Tue May 27 1997 09:57 | 13 |
It has been very quiet here... We will try to get a lan trace from this. In the mean time I have verified that the server indeed thinks the port is idle while on VMS the lta device is still connected. I personally doubt if something is revealed in the lan trace... But we'll see. Anyway, does anybody has other ideas on how to troubleshoot this? Should we force a dump of the server when it is in this state? Regards, Oswald | |||||
