No luck so far on TBB:
http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/dslrouter/t/3670984-remote-access-thomson-585-v7.html

Because of the constraints of using the built-in remote access (which I haven't tried), I thought I would change my password and just forward port 80/tcp to the lan IP of the router. That doesn't seem to work as it times out when I try to connect remotely.

Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong, or how to get around it if I'm not?

I've only had the unit for a short while, so it's quite likely I've missed something fairly obvious to those more accustomed to this unit...

Cheers

I dont know if its exactly the same for the v7 but have you tried the instructions for the other ST routers and most of the CLI commands are the same... 

See bottom of this page

- Allow remote access to the Web Interface or Telnet

G'Dau Dusty_bin,

I am assuming its the same as the TG784.

Create a new User

Do the following to create an appropriate user.

first before resetting the users - just in case its an IE7 lockout which can occur after changing the Administrator password.

Code: [Select]

system config digestauth=disabled

user flush
exit
Telnet to the router again but this time use the username root with no password.

Code: [Select]

user add name Admin password awordortwo role SuperUser defuser enabled defremadmin enabled deflocadmin enabled
Further options may be requested, however defaults or blanks are allowed. Check that access to the GUI is now allowed using the new details.


Allow remote access to GUI or Telnet

Users that want to remotely manage their routers either through the GUI or via telnet can. First create a user as above, this gives that user privilege to manage remotely, then telnet to the router.

Code: [Select]

service system ifadd name HTTP group wan
service system ifadd name HTTPs group wan
service system ifadd name TELNET group wan
This of course opens the router up to anyone on the internet. To secure access to an IP or range of IP's type the following.

Code: [Select]

service system ipadd name HTTP ip 212.23.9.250
service system ipadd name HTTPs ip 82.69.227.30/29
service system ipadd name TELNET ip 212.23.9.250-212.23.9.259
If locking down to IP, remember that it takes effect immediately. If you are connected to the router via telnet from the local network and you lock telnet down to a WAN IP you will be instantly disconnected and be unable to connect from anywhere other than the WAN IP specified. Be sure to add the IP you are currently connected from first.

What is default root password for 585 V8 modems, your help will be great. i am stuck after flushing my modem with "user flush" command.

Isn't it the same as the 585v7?

[casperpda]

No, i tried User# root with blank password as 585V7. but no luck.

[roseway]

The link above suggests that the user is 'Administrator' and the password is either blank or the serial number on the underside of the router. Sorry if you've already tried all these possibilities, but I've never used this particular router, so I don't really know.

[silversurfer44]

You could try 'SuperUser' as the user, unless that has been changed.

[Azzaka]

What is default root password for 585 V8 modems, your help will be great. i am stuck after flushing my modem with "user flush" command.

The default is still

Username: Administrator
Password:
or Password: Serial Number (CP0897BHY26)

If this doesnt work, then the modem could be faulty.
