Re: [PAP2] New useful utility for UNLOCKED PAP2's

I think it would be useful to me and I am grateful that you have written it, but I have yet to find detailed, step by step instructions on how to use it, save these, »voxilla.com/PNphpBB2-vie ··· 639.html. Maybe I need too much handholding or I am not the target audience for this software, but when I start fooling around with code and firmware, I like to have links to everything rather than hoping I located the right file only to find out later it was the wrong one. The PAP2 unlocking guide is 55 pages for example.

I'm sure this is real easy once you know what to do and I'm just dumb or scared, but for example, where do I find the XML provision encrypted file for Vonage (ie. what is the link)? Where is the GPP_K value located? How many characters is it supposed to have?

I am assuming someone will write the Dummies Guide to VuckFonage. Until then I will lurk. Thanks again for writing this. I wish I could use it.

Look at the back of your PAP2 unit and there is a MAC #. The way Vonage composes the XML provision file is by prefixing spa to the MAC # and ending it with a .xml. Thus, the XML provision file of your PAP2 unit is spa$MAC.xml. If your PAP2 MAC # is 001234567890, then its XML provision file name is spa001234567890.xml. You can retrieve the XML provision file of your Vonage PAP2 unit from its TFTP server as follows (assuming your PAP2's MAC # is 001234567890):
tftp -i ls.tftp.vonage.net -c get spa001234567890.xml

Perhaps, you should use this VuckFonage utility to retrieve the file by just entering your PAP2 MAC #, Vonage TFTP server, etc.
Where is the GPP_K value located? How many characters is it supposed to have?
The link you provided explains this very well. AFAIC, the steps mentioned in the link are very logical, simple, and very delicate, but they don't necessarily mean easy. You may need to go back to read it again and again until you understand the process and know where to find the GPP_K values as well as its length. If you can't comprehend the process, please don't even attempt to proceed to perform such a provision mainly because you may end up rendering your PAP2 unit(s) provisioned and locked by their previous (or factory default) VoSP. BTW, if you do a search in this forum, I believe you will be able to find the Admin Guide that was at least once posted here, perhaps in one of the posts on the PAP2 Unlocking Guide thread.

Good luck.

Did you take a look at the documentation included w/ the program? See STEP #4 in the OP for the location of the documentation.

As for the location of the XML provision encrypted file of your VoSP, that's what this program grabs (and decrypts) once you've populated the various REQUIRED input boxes.

P.S. The GPP_K value is located inside your unlocked PAP2. See the "Provisioning Tab" (under "Advanced Settings").

Thanks for the reply. I am using a unit from Staples originally designed to be used with Vonage. I unlocked it and now use Broadvoice and Callpacket.

I got your program to download a file from tftp.vonage.net port 69, but it says "decryption failed". I am using the GPP_K value from the Provisioning page and the MAC address from the Info page located inside my unlocked PAP2. I tried "Decrypt Last File Received" too. I saw something about editing the downloaded file and trying decryption again, but how? Thanks.

I'd be curious to know where you saw something about editing the ENCRYPTED FILE to attempt re-decrypting. That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

At any rate, if you're using the MAC ADDRESS located within your PAP2's Info Page (i.e. the web page which appears when you go into your PAP2's web interface), and if you haven't populated a TFTP Directory (i.e. GPP_D) value, then you may have mis-typed the GPP_K key (or didn't COPY/PASTE it in its entirety).

To make sure you grab the GPP_K passphrase IN FULL, do it as follows:

1) Within your PAP2's web-interface, click the mouse inside the GPP K input box so that you have a flashing cursor inside that box
2) On your keyboard, Press and release the Home key (to bring the cursor to the beginning of the box)
3) Press and hold the Shift key
4) Press and release the End key
5) This will SELECT the entire GPP K value. (You can now let go of the SHIFT KEY)
6) Hit CTRL+C (i.e. hold down CTRL then press and release 'C') to COPY the selected value to the Windows Clipboard.
7) Go into the VuckFonage GPP_K passphrase box (so that there's a flashing cursor in that box) and hit CTRL+V (i.e. hold down CTRL then press and release 'V'). This will PASTE the copied value.

Try re-decrypting again. If it doesn't work, IM me w/ your e-mail address so we can discuss this a bit more w/ the ability to send file attachments to one another.

1) What host are you using?
2) Have you tested the command line TFTP utility using the same host?

Try:
quote:
tftp -i host get file

where:
host is the host name you're trying to connect to
file is the name of the remote file to grab (i.e. spa[MAC].xml)

I tried to ping ls.tftp.vonage.net and it's working. where should I put tftp -i ls.tftp.vonage.net get spa[MAC].xml ?
I also opened port upd but I still get this message:
unable to resolve host ls.tftp.vonage.net

In my original suggestion, the statement "command line TFTP utility" means that you need to type this in a COMMAND PROMPT window.

Is "port udp" another application, or did you mean you opened the specific UDP port in your firewall?

I take it that means you've opened the specific UDP port (for TFTP purposes) in your firewall. If all other internet connectivity has been blocked to the program, that means DNS resolution has been block as well. According to searches on Google, DNS uses UDP port 53 (although some posts claim it can use TCP port 53 as well). Open up that port too and try again.

I opened both ports but when I try to Download&Decrypt I still get this message: "unable to resolve host ls.tftp.vonage.net".I disabled all firwalls

If you're certain ALL FIREWALLS have been disabled, I guess try the following:

1) Uninstall the program
2) Uninstall the .NET Framework 1.1
3) Re-install the .NET Framework 1.1
4) Re-install the program.

If you have access to another computer, try installing it on there to see if it works ok as you're the only person who's reported this issue.

I was gettiing the "unable to resolve.." error too.

I realized I had added info to my windows "hosts" file which was forwarding all requests for ls.tftp.vonage.net to my local server.

Once I deleted those new entries, Vuckfonage was able to download and decrypt the file without any problems.

The windows "hosts" file is located in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\etc\hosts

Hope this helps someone.

That's good information. In Umbyboy's case, the command line TFTP and ping utilities resolved the ls.tftp... domain name, so the hosts file was not the issue. I still don't know if the issue was resolved for Umbyboy.
