Re: Answering your questions on TeleBlend said by hoolahoous:sorry but that doesn't sound right.. if we need to power down our gizmo and bring it up.. that is so that it can pull in new provisioning file. It means that someone is putting in new provisioning file. Well if someone is putting new prosivioning file, then he/she can certainly see/update the gizmo password. Not necessarily. According to the Innomedia Admin Guide (link) page 79 states:
quote:
NOTE: You must enable and configure the provisioning mode (see Configuring Control Parameters (Me, 2) on page 73) before you can use the "Pv" command to configure the provisioning setting. The default password for sec_vsp (816), sec_tftp (762), and SecHTTPI (9768) is 12345678901234567890123456789012.
So you see there's a provisioning password, and that's a different thing than the admin logon password.
TB has apparently been granted exclusive control of the SR infrastructure. So when your device goes looking for its SR provisioning as was in the firmware then it's encountering servers and provisioning data that is now being controlled by TB. Via the provisioning there's quite a few settings they can establish to lock OUR devices to them. TB knows the provisioning password and that's allowing them full control of the gizmo devices.
If TB wants to smell less dirty about claiming no knowledge of the access passwords then they should provide the provisioning password. They may have paid something to Sherwoood for the SR servers and IP scheme but they don't have rights to lock devices that we screwed customers paid SR for.
The TB thing seems totally wrong. I would love some way to remove & scrub all my private data from anything that TB has gotten access to, whether they got it via legal means or not.
I took my gizmo elsewhere. It's working quite well with Net2Phone, and that service will cost about $2/month for the next year. I honestly don't see why anyone would rush for TB when there's clearly better companies to deal with. Nobody has to subscribe with TB in order to port their former SR phone numbers. Those phone#'s were not an asset of SR and they aren't owned by Sherwood or TB. |
