DSLStats v5.6: Missing vendor info and wrong time
« on: September 29, 2015, 12:08:41 PM »

Hi,

I have a few issues with my DSLstats v5.6 running on RPi against Billion 8800NL router on FTTC/VDSL2 connection.

The first issue is that it seems to be reporting my time wrong. RPi is set to correct time and timezone but DSLStats is reporting it in GMT rather than BST. I've restarted both RPi and DSLstats following the changes but no difference. MyDSLWebStats (user mrjack) is also showing that my time is wrong.

The second issue seems to be that it doesn't seem to report on what chipset vendor of my DSLAM is. If I type in adsl info --vendor in my router, it comes back with valid information:

Code: [Select]
> adsl info --vendor
adsl: ADSL driver and PHY status
Status: Showtime
Last Retrain Reason:    0
Last initialization procedure status:   0
Max:    Upstream rate = 8564 Kbps, Downstream rate = 48927 Kbps
Bearer: 0, Upstream rate = 8564 Kbps, Downstream rate = 40821 Kbps

ChipSet Vendor Id:      BDCM:0xa48c
ChipSet VersionNumber:  0xa48c
ChipSet SerialNumber:

I've also checked that DSLstats is set to monitor this... but I don't see this information anywhere in DSLstats and it's also missing from the web page.

Any ideas on any of the above?

Thanks
CJ

I suspect that the answer to the first question is in the way that the time is set up in your RPi, because other RPi users don't have the problem. The RPi is different from conventional PCs in that it doesn't have a hardware clock, so the usual Linux question of whether the hardware clock is set to local time or UTC doesn't apply. I don't know if this is the explanation, but it seems possible.

I'll have to think about the other question.

Thanks - that makes sense. I'll see if I can finesse it.

I use the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and select Europe and London it does take a few minutes for the RPi to initiate the new settings.

The command to show vendor should be xdslcmd info --vendor

Thanks both. Have corrected the time and this somehow fixed the vendor info on site as well :)
