I have a Centillion 100 chassis with multiple etherspeed switch cards (16 port) and one ATMspeed/155 card with MCP port. I'm currently unable to communicate with the MCP port (cabling issue I think), but would like to just use the etherspeed cards as switches. When I connect to cisco devices and try to pass data (ping) I get no response, debugging tells me that I have an encapsulation failure. Do I have to have an etherspeed card with MCP port to support the etherspeed switch cards, or will the ATM card suffice?

Greetings, all. I don't know when this will be answered but here goes, anyway.
I've aquired one of these switches with MCP, ATM module and two 20-port 10/100 etherlink modules and twin power supplies. I've powered it up, watched the lights, then visited Nortel's site. I'm registered with them but it costs to get support from them for anything that I think would be useful.
So, where does one get a copy of the Optivity or Speedview software and are they needed to configure the switch. I copied the "how to recover the password" thread so I have some info to help "get into it" when I need. I would like to make use of the beast.
Thanks,
Rich

BTW - I saw robs1's reply of his reading the documentation - where you find? Oh, I found a thread containing a link to Nortel's ftp site and downloaded the SV but I'm afraid to use it after seeing another thread that says to make sure all the rev's match or you could hose the configuration. Boy, that's a bit scary!
So, where do you find docs on the Centillion 100?
TIA,
Rich

Hi, i have downloaded and renamed most of the centillion PDF docs of C100 to C1000 series,
will be linked on soonly.
We are just following the procedure to recover the password of a C100, we have lots of them.
Aany hint for recovering a password on a C1600 would be helpful and any hint to have (even an old) optivity software for evaluation would be apreciated. We got all speedview version on ebay.
thats it

We have a Centillion 100 switch, bought used, no manual or serial cable. I need a serial cale or pinout to create my own. Also, manuals or configuration software. If any of you know where to find any of these, it owuld be greatly appreciated!

Someone no where i can download the speedview software?
I just got a centillion 100 i am looking how to connect to it. I have the rigth cabling but i can't find that software

I have purchased an used Centillion 100, it did not come with any manual. I use Hyper Terminal to connect to the RS232 MCP port. I power on the switch and I can only receive this message:
POST not implemented yet!
Returning to MAIN PROM...
I cannot do anything with this prompt. Can anyone tell me how to gain control of the switch? Thanks.
