2.2 Efficient 5100 Ethernet modem
SpeedStream 5100b infoWeb interface, PPPoE, PPPoA, NAPT, telnet, GMT time stamps, connection log, pages of wan and lan info. Option for changing modem Access code Option for temporarily allowing remote/wan access to modem. Option for public or private IP on ethernet port. Option to adjust lan DHCP lease time. 3 options for wan connection timeout Page specific help files at the top right of pages IP address of modem is 192.168.0.1 and cannot be changed Auto detection of DSL operation mode Auto detection of VPI/VCI Adjustable MTU Once configured and sucessfully online the modem access code controls access for modem configuration changes. Clicking any of the buttons below will get you an access code prompt.  Use of the modem access code will also make a entry in the modem's log: 2004/03/08 00:47:07 GMT E |User |User lanadmin: Logged out after idle time 2004/03/07 23:04:10 GMT E |User |lanadmin: Logged in to YAHOO 192.168.1.64 All user changeable settings can be cleared with a GUI RESET or the reset button. A RESET returns configuration settings back to initial factory defaults. A RESTART allows new saved settings to take effect. All user changeable settings are retained with GUI RESTART. Note: The modem's web interface is accessible with a direct connection to a computer no matter what mode the modem is set to. The computer used must be configured with TCP/IP Properties given in the Sharing section below. The modem's lan DHCP server is only active with "PPP is on the modem" mode Where can I get the 1.0.0.53 firmware update for the 5100b Factory ConfigurationThe 5100b provides NO NAT protection when using the DHCP public address or private address. Factory Configuration is PPP is on the modem and public IP address for computer The default Lan DHCP lease time is 10 minutes The modem's DHCP server has only 1 address to issue. Enter your username and password in the modem. Sharing the internet connectionFor multiple PC's (4 lan devices maybe more) support a ethernet switch or hub is needed along with assigned private IP addresses for the computers or lan devices. The option of PPP is on the modem must be selected on the modem The option of No, use private IP address must be selected on the modem TCP/IP Properties for computers IP Address: 192.168.1.10 thru 192.168.1.14 Sub Net Mask: 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1 Primary DNS: 192.168.0.1 Using this method will disable all of the security features of the Cable/DSL router. When using this method the router will be a multi-port switch with a DHCP server, print server, access point if the router has these features. The 5100b will provide NAT protection when using user assigned private addresses Using this method is not ISP supported. You can also share the internet connection by using a wireless or wired Cable/DSL router by connecting the modem to a router's lan port and disabling the DHCP server on the Cable/dsl router. If the lan address of the Cable/DSL router is 192.168.0.1 it will need to be changed. Settings for the Cable/DSL router: IP Address: 192.168.1.1 thru 192.168.1.9 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 IF the Cable/DSL router's Subnet Mask can not be changed from 255.255.255.0 Use the settings below: IP Address: 192.168.0.2 thru 192.168.0.9 In simple terms the Subnet Mask controls the IP address octet's/numbers A Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0 will only let you change the last octet/number of the IP address 192.168.0.X A Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0 will only let you change the last 2 octet's/numbers of the IP address 192.168.X.X Router Info:The modem's GUI can be accessed from behind a router when set for "PPP is on the modem" mode with a username password entered and saved. Below are a few ways of using the 5100b with a router or firewall. Let the modem do the PPP and issue a public/private IP to wan/internet port of router This setup will allow access to the modem's GUI. Select the option of PPP is on the modem Enter and save your username and password in the modem Either option Yes, use public IP address or No, use private IP address can be used. Configure the router for DHCP on the wan/internet port. You can also set the router's wan/internet port to static IP using these TCP/IP Properties IP:192.168.1.64 subnet mask:255.255.0.0 gateway:192.168.0.1 DNS:192.168.0.1 Let your router do the PPPoE Configure the router for PPPoE on the wan/internet port. All three modem modes can be used when a device other than the modem will initiate the PPPoE session, yes this also applies to "PPP is on the modem" mode with no username password entered.

got feedback?by wayjac The original 5100 modem (also known as a 5100a) was issued by SBC/Ameritech from about summer/fall of 2002 until about Jan 2004. SBC/Ameritech no longer ships this modem to new subscribers. The power rating for the 5100a's is 12VDC 700mA early model 5100's shipped with a transformer output of 12VDC 700mA. Later model 5100a's came with a transformer output of 12VDC 800mA. Below are pictures of the 5100a to help identify the modem.
   The SBC/Ameritech 5100a modem has customized firmware and can not run a PPPoE session. Accessing 5100a line statisticsSome line statistics can be viewed from the SBC/Ameritech issued 5100a modem. Changes have to be made to the TCP/IP properties of the computer to be used, and the 5100a needs a direct connection to the computer to be used to view the info, other options exist but for now use the direct connection.

got feedback?by wayjac However, the Wayback Machine DOES have a copy of the information. It may take a while, but you should eventually be able to download the firmware at: »web.archive.org/web/200706232027···100B.zip To see the instructions, click: »web.archive.org/web/200701070711···0b.shtml This version contains fixes for AOL for Broadband 9.0, DSL power-off enhancements, a fix for restoring the memory in the modem, multiple fixes to the statistics web page, enhancements to DHCP, and a security fix. Users with 1.0.0.36 should definitely upgrade, those with 10.0.0.39 or 10.0.0.44 should strongly consider it.
got feedback?link does not work, now i am desperate for the 5100 firmware 2010-06-24 19:28:48 (dunhill_rd Where is the firmware now?
2012-01-09 06:57:13 by RadioDoc  For those that want a cheap, easy way to share their SBC DSL with multiple computers, the 5100B CAN be used as a simple router. As the screenshot above shows, the modem is listed as a single device router, meaning that it will only allow one connection. This actually only applies to how many WAN IPs it will pass thru. To get around this limitation, simply hard code the LAN IPs of the different PCs into the same IP range as the modem. 192.168.0.x, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and the gateway of 192.168.0.1. Assign the DNS entries appropriate for the area you reside. Now, just put a switch or hub in and woila!, you now have a very simple NAT router, and can share that DSL. Keep in mind, there are zero advanced features, so if you need those, invest in a dedicated DSL router, however this setup should be sufficient for many who just want to share the DSL and don't want to spend a lot of money to do so. EDIT--This will also help eliminate the annoying connection drops that happens with WinXP SP2! Originally contributed by kmac1 at /forum/remark,11542453~mode=flatAdded 12-16-2004: The "visibility" of the LAN-side when using this unit as a simple router was investigated in /forum/remark,12133909~mode=flat : OK, I tested it and here are my results.  Thanks to JimThePCGuy for raising the question and doing the heavy lifting.
got feedback?by RadioDoc d_l reports that Speedstream 5100b modems that have been upgraded to firmware 1.0.0.53, and Speedstream 4100 modems with the same firmware now pass the ATM OAM end to end ping test even if connected to a RT. (12-21-2005)
got feedback?by armyrebel4 If you don't have the modem doing the PPPoE session a direct connection to the modem is needed to view the DSL info. The first page 192.168.0.1 titled "Connection Information" DSL UP means you have sync DOWN means no sync Connected at shows the down/up sync rates Software Version shows the version of the modem's software 192.168.0.1/statistics.htm titled "Statistics" Line State UP means you have sync DOWN means no sync Modulation G.dmt or ANSI Max Allowed Speed (kbps) shows the sync rates Signal to Noise margin Line Attenuation CRC Errors 192.168.0.1/log.htm titled "Log" The modem's log will keep track of when sync is achieved and when a loss of sync has occurred along with PPPoE sessions, DHCP activity and ethernet status. When the modem is in PPP is on the computer or Bridged mode (PPPoE is not used) time stamps are elapsed time The default setting for the 4100 modem log is to erase the log entries at every restart. For the 5100b software version 1.0.0.39 and above the default is the same as the 4100 modem. With the log being cleared at every restart it may be too short to get any useful info from the log entries. For troubleshooting a problem you can change a setting on the log page so that the modem only clears the log on factory resets or clearing the log manually.   If you are asked for a copy of the modem log save it as a text file and post the saved text file.  There are some useful bits of info on this page: 192.168.0.1/techreadout.htm titled "Technician Readout" 14 Time Since Last Boot** 15 Current Time*** 32 Time Since Last Sync** 40 PPP Uptime** 292 PPP Access Concentrator 320 LAN Device Table ** time stamps are elapsed time ***current gmt time GMT time stamps are shown only when the modem's mode is PPPoE is on the modem with a valid username and password entered and saved, also when in this mode the log will track the PPPoE / PPP session. The log also tracks the activity of the modem's DHCP server. More info on the modem's PPPoE / PPP log entries can be found Here.
