HG612 unlock
« on: June 24, 2012, 08:07:53 PM »

Hi

I was going to go on ebay and purchase a HG612 and use this one as the unlocked one but I just went ahead and all is working fine, I can see router stats but don't understand how to use HG612 modem stats/ gnuplot and the rest of this stuff I downloaded and uncompressed into a folder

Is there an easyer program I can use that also has Router graphs ?

Cheers

Have you double-clicked Start.BAT that should be in the folder where everything was unzipped to?

That should set everything up apart from starting the 24/7 logging that has to be set up for each Windows system.
The instructions aren't really necessary until starting Task Scheduler via START_LOGGING_24-7.BAT & even then it should be self-explanatory.

Once set up double-click TestStats2.BAT for current stats graphs & assuming 24/7 logging has started, double-click graphpd.BAT for the graphs.

You can just run TestStats.BAT on its own, but the 24/7 logging tells us a lot more about general & ongoing conditions.

There aren't really any other programs out there for FTTC/VDSL2 connections yet.

Any specific queries, just ask here.

I ran the Start.BAT and looked into that folder it has loads of stuff in there my question is what .exe file should I click on to show the graphs & stuff PS I am using Vista SP2

I am getting the stuff ok but can't seem to get the GUI with graphs Teststats2.BAT works fine

Once set up double-click TestStats2.BAT (in the Scripts folder) for current stats graphs.

Any .exe files should be in the Apps folder which you don't need to even look at.

Part of that is chopped off as the font size is different for Vista.

A bit more DIY for you now then:-

Open GRAPH6.BAT with a text editor.
Near the top you will see something like this:-


rem ***** Set the font & size for different Windows versions *****

rem ***** Windows 7 *****
set FONT_USED=courier-new -pointsize 14

rem ***** Vista *****
rem set FONT_USED=courier-new -pointsize 12

rem ***** XP *****
rem set FONT_USED=courier-new -pointsize 14


Change it to this :-

rem ***** Windows 7 *****
rem set FONT_USED=courier-new -pointsize 14

rem ***** Vista *****
set FONT_USED=courier-new -pointsize 12

rem ***** XP *****
rem set FONT_USED=courier-new -pointsize 14


Save the edited file & job done.

It would be nice to see the portrait montage of your stats posted here.

Ah,

I forgot about that.

The updated script, still to be released yet outputs a smaller portrait montage & looks "prettier".

I have attached a copy of the new script (if you wanted to try it out).

Does anyone know the reason why BTOR locked down the firmware for the HG612 in the first place
it seems silly ! imagine going to a store to buy a router and finding out when you got home it was locked  :o

Presumably because BT don't want customers to have access to detailed information which could be used against them.
