The modem comes with a Windows utility that allows you to check your line stats. This is explained in »Speakeasy Forum FAQ »How do I check my Line Stats with the Broadxent 8012-V modem (Windows)?. However, this leaves those of us not using Windows out in the cold. Luckily, underattack made a Perl script that will run on any system with Perl installed. That includes Mac OS X, for you Mac users. It displays the same information as the Windows utility and must be run on a system that is plugged directly into the modem. 1. Download the script from »johannes.homepc.org/broa ··· aster.pl 2. Open it in a text editor 4. Change 255.255.255.255 to the broadcast address of the Broadxent 8012-V, which should be 192.168.1.255 5. Change 00 b0 d0 77 4e 04 to the MAC Address of the computer or router that is plugged directly into the Broadxent 8012-V, replacing colons with spaces 6. Change 00 e0 eb 74 df c0 to the MAC Address of the Broadxent 8012-V, which is on a sticker on the bottom of it, again replacing colons with spaces 7. Save it 8. Give it executable permission 9. Run it and it will display the following information Model Number Receiving Port Number Sending Port Number MAC Address MAC Address of computer or router plugged into Broadxent 8012-V Firmware Version VCI VPI Uptime Downstream Sync Speed Upstream Sync Speed Downstream Noise Margin Upstream Noise Margin Downstream Attenuation Upstream Attenuation Downstream Output Power Upstream Output Power Special thanks to underattack for his Perl script! got feedback? by divdiv4 edited by PetDude |
