I've made the custom commands feature more flexible, and added an option to send email alerts. Apart from this, some small improvements and fixes for reported issues.

List of changes since v4.12:

- the tray icon and application icon now change colour depending on connection status
- custom commands can be separately linked to different events
- added option to send email alerts triggered by various events (e.g. low SNRM)
- added a button to manually get the user's IP address
- fixed occasional bug whereby the ES / hour chart didn't rescale correctly
- fixed issue in which the QLN option "Show extended tone range" didn't show the extra data
- added option to save snapshots in category folders
- tidied up the pbParams display for routers which provide badly formatted output
- fixed failure to save event log on exit (if configured)

Thankyou for the update  and the pbParams look great

Eric I've updated this fine. On the custom commands page the text beside the radio button for 'Include in event log' seems strange, it has a square character added before the word event and the word log is clipped so it looks like 'lc'. This is on W2K BTW... Just tested my Linux version and the stuff displays fine on the custom commands page.

Minor niggle

Is it me or is the versioning becoming very confusing?

To me 4.12 is newer version than 4.2.

Perhaps a series of 3 digits would be better ie 4.1.0, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.0

[roseway]

@NewtronStar: Thanks

@Stuart: I can see what's happened here - it's a two-line text label, and I used the Linux newline character #10 which Windows interprets as a non-printable character, so there's only one line which is too long for the space available. I'll correct this in the next release.

@rhohne: I guess you can look at it two ways, but you do have a point. I've been doing it this way all along, so rather than changing at this stage, I think I'll just give two digits to the second part of the number, so 4.2 becomes 4.20.

All looks as it was in 4.12 but now getting message "no response from router!

Edit: Event log full message

Code: [Select]

Technical details: Connection timed out
Router failed to respond to telnet request
Edit2:New Event log message

Code: [Select]

No DSL Connection, though router GUI shows DSL alive and well,and I am posting this.

[roseway]

@renluop: The only circumstances in which that message should appear are if the router is disconnected from the PC or the IP address is wrong. Did you perhaps edit the login details?

[renluop]

Hi Eric! No, and I have just rechecked the revealed password. That, and other details are as before including telnet port. Path for snapshots is (if relevant) C:\Users\..\AppData\Local\dslstats\dslstats32W-4.2\snapshots.

Also see Edit2.

[roseway]

Can you check Telnet Data --> Connection Stats and copy the contents here please?

[renluop]

'tis as white as my ceiling!

[roseway]

I'm at a loss to explain this at the moment. I didn't really change anything in the way DSLstats logs in and collects its data in this version, except for one extra check on the connection stats for Technicolor routers. If your stats are blank, then that check isn't the explanation here.

The only other thing I can suggest at this point is that you revert to version 4.12 and make sure that it still works properly. You only need to copy the executable dslstats.exe from the old version to replace the new one. Tomorrow I'll reinstall my TG582n and see if I can find out what's happening, but it will have to wait until the afternoon unfortunately.

[renluop]

No sweat, as I am out all day more or less!

I have some problems with the last versions. ( I'm not a BT user. My provider is GVT in Brazil )

U4 ? xdslcmd info pbParams doesn't show this.

2nd
The tones bitloading graph shows all bands in blue. Previous versions shows correctly upstream and downstream. Snapshot attached.

[roseway]

1. It looks as though I've tried to be too clever. The new BT firmware does report U4, and I wrongly assumed that it was always there (I don't have a VDSL2 connection to test it on).

I'll have to look at it again.

2. On your connection the U0 band isn't used. Several versions earlier I made a change to deal with this type of connection, but it looks as though something has gone wrong with that part of the code. I'll try to correct it.

Thanks for your work in this very useful tool.

U0 is optional depending on the profile, line condition and DSLAM used.
The profiles used here are: (down/up) 27500/2600 , 38000/4000 and 55000/6000 Kb/s.
