AEA DSP-2232 complete manual and undocumented jumpers

Unfortunately this beautiful TNC is not well documented (at least not as his brother PK-232). I’ve been able to acquire the complete manual with schematics (albeit something does not add up) and with some tinkering I discovered the use of most of the undocumented jumpers on the boards.

  • JPA1, JPA2: bypass LP filters
  • R166, R164: used to have 0V on PIN 20 of U41, U39
  • JP11, JP12: bypass compressor
  • JPT1, JPT2, JPR1, JPR2: jumper on (jumper off if you have DSP-1232, K1 must be installed too)
  • JP1, JP2 on the daughter board: mystery

Correct sequence to change configuration on Cisco Ether Channels

There we go again, I just keep forgettin’ things that every time are obvious. Say you have to change a configuration on a Portchannel interface. How to do it? Since the physical ports must have the same configuration of the Portchannel interface for the Ether Channel to come up there must be a sequence. And ideed there is.

  1. Change configuration on the physical interfaces in the group
  2. Change, finally, the configuration on the port channel interface

Long live and prosper.

Hello world!

Hi everyone, I’m a communication engineer and my job is about networking but electronics has always been a great passion as well as being a radio amateur. This blog is about things that I learn/experiment/resolve

The post title fits very well: it’s the first classic simple program that everyone writes in a new computer programming language that is being learnt. Not me. Even if it’s not a computer language but a networking device I end up always in trying to do something just slightly complex than the basics. This happens not only when I need to code something but in almost every other technical endeavour.

That thing ditches me. And these are my stories of how I emerged from every single ditch I dug 🙂

P.S. ‘Affossati’ is the italian word for “ditched“.
