Nice.

Thank you rp00 and jsamuel, you've both been very helpful

[digitalis]

I just had to check the modem again, and the chip does say v1.2 ... I was looking at the smaller chip beside it originally Woops!

[Ragnarok]

Is there any way to get everything down the same lan port ( viewable through DD-WRT router), just like the stock ECI modems, or, the HG612 or any other good bit of hardware containing a vdsl modem. my router and modem are separated by a long ethernet cable. Without sticking a network switch on both ports of the modem?

[digitalis]

You could always use a pair of Cat 5 splitters, for example http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-Cat5e-Ethernet-Network-Splitter-Economiser-Adapters-CAT-5e-RJ45-/290335345691

The modems only have a 100mb port anyway so you wouldn't be losing anything

[edit] you'd need a pair of cat5 joiners also (if you're usin a straight through cat5 lead and not a patch panel) and 2 pairs of small rj45 leads, but you get the point

[jsamuel]

You could assign eth1 192.168.1.1 in /etc/config/network
I would've set it up like this by default, but WAN ports on most consumer routers (caused by dodgy firmware) don't support it.

Thanks Jsamuel. Should of known better, OpenWRT is nice and configurable.

What was the solution to the IPTV multicast "flooding"(?)/2nd network port issue?

[russs]

Hi, has anyone been able to successfully configure the ECI/r running @jsamuel's OpenWRT build on Sky Fibre?  I've tried unsuccessfully using a variety of info, such as following the setup of HG612 via separate OpenWRT sending Option 60/61 data (having extracted my SR102 User ID and password), but can't get it working (I can see in the logs it just does "Sending Discover" 3 times, but it never gets a connection established).  If anyone has been able to do this I'd appreciate a few screen grabs of the setup, or pointers of how to configure.

Hi Jordan

Just saying hello and look forward to getting my eci modem back when you have completed the install of openwrt.

Russ - I am on sky fibre along with ECI cabinet so worth maybe sending Jsamuel a PM as he mentioned its needs some specific settings to make it work 

Cheers

One thing I have noticed, is that despite PPP being version 2.4.7 (higher than the required 2.4.6) RFC4638 doesn't seem to work - this seems to be more down to the NIC/interface drivers not supporting it, MTU of 1500 is the max they understand you cannot set 1508 on any interface.

Code: [Select]

root@OpenWrt:~# ifconfig eth1 mtu 1508
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMTU: Invalid argument
root@OpenWrt:~# ifconfig eth1 mtu 1500
root@OpenWrt:~#

Good to know, as presumably this also means it will not work in bridge mode with a router capable of a 1500 MTU either?

Although I still don't understand how the HG612 handles this as I currently have pfSense (with the RFC4638 patch) connected to a HG612 and that still claims all interfaces have a 1500 MTU, despite PPP working perfectly with a 1500 MTU.

Havin a crack at this on my v1.2 ECi but I can't get it to pull the file.

This is what my TFTP looks like:

LAN port lights aren't flashing but the LAN 1 light at the front of the board, next to the Power light is.

Any help would be greatly received.

Thanks,

Paul

First you need to open the case and connect to the serial port pins.

After that, your computer is the tftp server with the IP address of its Ethernet port set to 192.168.1.1. You could pick a different address if you change the commands you enter over the serial connection to the bootloader accordingly.

Yes, modem is connected to the UART and all commands have been entered and saved on to the modem, exactly as they appeared in the guide on page 1.
It's the image transfer I'm having issues with, once I've executed the run update_openwrt command, Kitty just shows T T T T then times out and starts 'waiting' for the file again. It's as though it can't communicate with the Tftp tool.

The guide for the Tftp tool states, to use the Tftp client (as seen in image) I only need to enter the Host name and the file name (path seen in image) and click 'Put'.

So to avoid ambiguity:

1. Should I be using the Tftp client? Or should I use the Tftp server?
2. If it's the client, what should I enter in:
    a. The Host field?
    b. The Local file field?
3. Where should I save the image file on my PC? Does it matter?
4. If it's the Tftp server I should be using, what values do I need to put in which fields?
5. Do I need to manually set the IP address of the ethernet port on my laptop?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Seems the issue is that I've knobbled the ethernet ports... So I now need to un-brick it somehow.
