Telnet command to find DSLAM/MSAN Vendor
« on: March 16, 2012, 12:26:33 AM »

Hey guys

I have a Netgear DGN2200 with the BusyBox shell, and was wondering if anyone knows what commands I can use to find out DSLAM vendor information?

Thanks.

Assuming you are at a shell prompt, try the following commands and see what they might return --

Quote
adsl info
adslcmd info
adslctl info


You may need to experiment to find the correct syntax. Hopefully one of the above three will be approximately correct and a help message will then be displayed.

As far as I know, the 2640B has a Broadcom BCM6348 chipset, so it should respond to the command

adsl info --vendor

(The adslctl version of this command in my previous message applies only to Netgear routers).

Eric, it does indeed have a 6348 in it, but using the  vendor command I get "too many options" as the response.... I was just curious as to what TT are using :)

As a fellow TalkTalk LLU'd line user, I know that the DSLAM (to which I connect) is reported as Infineon chip-based.

If you just type 'adsl' you should get a summary of the options for that command. Of course it may be that the firmware in the 2640B has a cut-down version of the Broadcom CLI command set, without the necessary vendor option. Here's what I get on my Billion 7800N:

Code: [Select]
> adsl info --vendor
adsl: ADSL driver and PHY status
Status: Showtime
Retrain Reason: 8000
Max:    Upstream rate = 1096 Kbps, Downstream rate = 9452 Kbps
Path:   0, Upstream rate = 1099 Kbps, Downstream rate = 7623 Kbps

ChipSet Vendor Id:      IFTN:0x71be
ChipSet VersionNumber:  0x71be
ChipSet SerialNumber:

(Apologies to the OP for slightly straying from the original question.)

nail on the head there Eric, the 2640B is only a cut-down command set, without, unfortunately, the vendor commands :( Oh well....

..and my apologies too to OP :)
