I'm using the latest PHY driver blob from asbokid's v1.8 toolkit (A2pv6C035m).

On the hardware side, it's only the original version which has the overheating problem as far as I know. Rev 2B onwards should be ok.

Just for future reference is it possible to change the modems IP address by Telnet? As I don't use the pre-configured address.

Hey, as anyone checked the line attenuation?, as it started to report that for vdsl2?.

Hi:

I suspect that my HG612 updated sometime in the early hours of today.  I can no longer even telnet the modem.

Are you sure? Do you get any errors or?

[NewtronStar]

the annoying thing with this update is the way it sneaks in late at night with a 0 retrain and my speeds go up and 2 days later the interleaving kicks in and caps me for two weeks, cheers DLM

I know it's my fault should have turned off the Modem as soon as the interleaving started getting higher, but what about the millions of users who don't have an unlocked modem

Count yourself lucky it only takes you two weeks... 36 day sync before and 88 days before that. A blue power transformer exploded (Thanks to OR, I might add) this leading to a quick power cut for me a couple of seconds. Straight into banding at 20Mbps dl cap, sync went on for 32 days. Then the DLM kicked in and changed the upload speed from 4400 to 5200. Still have a lovely 16SNRM on my download, now going on for 8 more days. It's a joke, 40 days uninterrupted connection with good stats throughout the whole time.

All openreach updates are done in the early mornings, this way it doesn't interrupt the user (more than likely).

Ive not yet been updated (ECI cab) and am umming and ahhing about turning off the btagent.  I had turned it off in the gui, but not via telnet.



The new band plans are interesting.  Properly defining separate bands for upstream/down stream for U0 and D0 makes much more sense. I have in the past wondered about the effect of having a shared band over tones 32-95 as surely this isnt good as far as crosstalk goes?  Basic adsl principals say that keeping them separate is there for a purpose.
Perhaps at first when 40/2,40/10 was introduced it didnt make much difference - especially when some lines didnt use the shared band at that time.  But lines on 80/20 where all frequencies are likely to be in use, then I could never see why there was a shared band.  By properly defining separate up and down channel bands some lines may benefit.


There are only 2 reasons that I can think of why the web interface was removed
1. To make space - Why on earth cant more flash memory used - its not that expensive and wouldnt add that much to the overall cost of a board.  Ive seen this problem over the years with several routers supposedly running out of storage memory as firware updates are installed. Have I missed something obvious?
2. To stop access.  A simple but hardly effective proceedure especially when they still leave telnet open.



Out of interest has everyone else got CWMP turned off?  Theoretically it should stop TR069 and how 'normal' firmware upgrades are carried out remotely by the CP.   
However Ive long suspected that BT dont bother too much with TR069 and in usual BT fashion have devised and written their own version of remote management.
I did some digging a while ago cant recall exact details now, but the BTAgent was using SNMP..  which is an alternative way for the CP to push out remote firmware upgrades and interact with the ACS.  They possibly may still use TR69 more for helpdesk type purposes though.

I'm 100% sure. Just get "cannot connect" message at command level. Tried access with firewall off and all sorts of things.  Cannot telnet and ping is ignored by the modem - LAN2 effectively appears closed. No unexpectedly HG stats no longer produces even snapshot graphs.

All I can tell (from the BT wholesale speed checker) is that there has been a marginal increase in my DS profile.

I have the TR069 connection disabled on my Hg612. Im on the new bandplan and my modem remains on the same PHY firmware, though sometime overnight there was a retrain (may be unrelated). My 'max' attainable upstream rate also appears to have dropped 2mb compared to the other day http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,12979.msg245154.html#msg245154

I left it on in the GUI, never thought the HG612 modem would ever get a firmware update so there you go.

That bandplan seems to be only the first stage of the update process.
i.e. Tones 32 to 95 are still shared.


The 2nd stage (modem firmware update) completely separates the US & DS tones & looks something like this:-

Discovery Phase (Initial) Band Plan
US: (7,32) (871,1205) (1972,2782)
DS: (33,859) (1216,1961) (2793,3970)
Medley Phase (Final) Band Plan
US: (7,32) (871,1205) (1972,2782)
DS: (33,859) (1216,1961) (2793,3970)

However, that connection's highest tone is 3970 at both Discovery & Medley phases (not 3971).

ah ha! thank you BE for your eagle eye (couldn't resist). As always, you are catching the finer details of the output.

I suppose that puts me in a good position to answer Kitz question when the second phase is completed here, as if my modem firmware updates then we know the TR069 connection is not necessary for the process. Though someone else may have that answer before me, depending on BTORs schedule

[boe323]

whats the url for ACS(tro69) mines blank so cant enable it. Im sure it wasn't enabled when I got the update, I reflashed the modded unlocked firmware with new driver after the update because I hard reset and lost telnet.

do you mean one of these two?
