Just sharing some experience.

I appear to have a rather noisy line, there is an electrical substation right next to the ducts leading to my street. Most probable that there is noise coming off a  variety of appliances/gadgets in the house too.

Using the google maps measuring tool i get 350 m between me and the cab.

Using the ECI modem i get a 47-51 IP profile and with the Huawei i get 52-54 IP profile.

Huawei gives me a ~62-64 Mbps max.

So it appears the Huawei deals with noise a bit better than the ECI modem.

cheers,

Stan

Hello Stan,

Welcome to the Kitz forum. Thank you for posting details of your experience, which adds to the reports by others who have also noticed that effect. Just to clarify, you have not made any other changes to the HG612's configuration? In other words, it is just using the Standard rather than the BT firewall setting?

Looking again at your graphs, I wonder if you run a variety of Linux and if you have quite recently downloaded the graphing script from Asbokid's Google Docs directory?

[asbokid]

Hi Burakkucat,

Your latest graphing script (v2.2) for Linux is now in situ :-)

cheers, a

Hi Burakkucat,

Thanks for the welcome.

Unlocked the HG612 with the SP10 firmware and left it as is. Merely taking advantage of being able to access stats which currently can't be done via a soft method (Kudos to those who've developed a hard method for access).

I'm using the latest graphing scripts, but i'm using Win7 32 bit off a Dell D820 laptop.

Hi Stan,

It might be interesting to see your bit-loading & Hlog graphs too, especially as the ECI DSLAM provides upstream values whereas the Huawei DSLAMS don't.

@b*cat,

At least some of us can recognise our own handiwork

Hi Bald_Eagle1

As requested!

It is good to know that the result obtained was with both modems in their default configurations.

Agreed.  :clap2:  I've come to the conclusion that Asbokid likes to do a spot of reverse-engineering!

Hi Bald_Eagle1

As requested!

Cheers Stan,

I really must upload my updated scripts one of these days.

In the meantime, you may wish to give the attached GRAPH6.BAT a go (keep your old version just in case though).

It a) produces smaller sized montages for posting in forums & b) it should include some of the data that is "missing" from your current ECI DSLAM graphs.

So that is the latest description ("handiwork") for eagle droppings!

A HG612 modem is currently monitoring a connection to an ECI DSLAM.

We are noticing massive DS RSCorr errors following a few hours of connection time.

A modem reboot/resync appears to clear these errors for another few hours.

If left to run, the DS RSCorr error counts gets too high for the 2^31 (i.e. 2147483648) integer maths limit of the batch file scripts.
At that stage, cumulative DS RSCorr errors are still being reported in modem_stats.log, but as the 1 minute differences are no longer calculated, the graphs make it appear that the errors have suddenly ceased.

Can anyone using a HG612 on an ECI DSLAM confirm whether or not this also appears to be the case with your connections.

It may be an incompatibilty matter between the HG612 & the ECI DSLAM, a "fault" requiring an engineer repair or simply that ECI DSLAMS are far more rigorous in "correcting" errors rather than leaving them uncorrected & needing to be resent.

I have attached 8 days of stats from this particular connection.

The effect of Interleaving etc. being applied can be clearly seen, especially a massive reduction in errored seconds.

The far R/H side of the DS RSCorr errors graph shows where the batch file integer limit was reached & the every minute calculation ceased.
At the time of obtaining the stats, DS RSCorr errors were still mounting at the rate of around 600,000 per minute which does seem rather excessive (if it is actually being correctly reported by the HG612).


FWIW, this does NOT appear to be an issue when a HG612 is connected to a Huawei DSLAM.

this can't be the case on a certain forum they say there is just not enough ECI modems to go about so both ECI dslam and Huawei will work on either dslam. I won't know until someone gives me a ECI modem, but they say Draytechs 2750 works fine on both.

Here is an ECI B-FOCuS modem, available on eBay as a "Buy It Now" item.

The only problem with an ECI modem I will not be able to see my stats I think it's a Hardware Hack for her.

Just going through some HG612 settings I like the LED function it turns off LED's on the modem great if during the wee small hours as they light up the room and keep me awake

[burakkucat]

We are hoping that The Maestro, now that he has physical access to a couple of the devices, will be able to magic-up a software route to flash the firmware.

I quite like having the LEDs on, as they illuminate the way out of the room, when I am making my way to my bedroom. I know that some people take a teddy-bear or even their cat to bed with them but a powered up VDSL2 modem . . . Isn't that just a little bit obsessive?   

[NewtronStar]

Take the Cats to bed me I don't have to they just take over my bed at night, at 6am I get a big Paw in my face who needs an Alarm clock.
