Re: SpeedTouch 516 Tweaking :)

Is there any details on it, as of what's better on it vs the older versions of 7.4.x.x?

Hi,

No 'ChangLog' file here neither but here's what i've found...

I powered up my computer a few minutes ago, then i tried
to launch 'DMT v7.35' and the unit's logs show it just went
through a "KERNEL Warm restart"... That's not a 1st time,
i often noticed that behaviour (captured below), recently:

I yet have to read from other ST owners that they observed
this phenomenon as well but it looks like Thomson released
one more 'DMT' hostile FirmWare, if one should ask me!...

Ha, and i keep selecting the summer time option but it
sorts of resets itself - which explains the 1 h delay...

I haven't had the reboot problem yet, I have my modem connected to the router so this morning I just unplugged the modem to router wire and hooked up my pc connection directly to the modem and set a static ip and run dmt and works fine and dandy.

Will test it out tonight.

My ST is configured as a self-contained MoDem/Router and the
behaviour i described started to appear quite a bit reproducible.

The very same 'DMT' triggered event happened minutes ago!...

@Bicephale, try unchecking the "get CPUMem Stats" and see if the router does a warm restart again when using DMT.

As for the summer time, you can try setting dst to relative mode through telnet.

Here, you can find the cli for the 7.4.x firmwares and the release notes for the 536v6 (you can find other models too if you surf around).

Unfortunately, to get the notes you have to be a partner and have a login username and password. The cli is unlocked though.

Hi,

I used the GUI this morning to save one version of 'user.ini'
where the option is disabled and another with the option on.

A comparison of both files allowed me to finger point at this:

[ switch.ini ]
qos config state=disabled nbrOfQueues=0 realtime=disabled
qos config state=disabled nbrOfQueues=0 realtime=enabled
 
[ system.ini ]
settime timezone=-05:00 daylightsaving=disabled
settime timezone=-05:00 daylightsaving=enabled
 

The problem vanished after a Power reset... I have no clue
what was happening before but it seems to be working now.

Oh, and my copy of the CLI Manual is dated 2008-Feb-27...
A binary comparison shows it's identical to the one which
you suggested. Unfortunately, when we compare the size of
the past versions we can only conclude it started shrinking:

2007-Feb-20

Thanks for posting anyway!
