Re: SB5101: Cannot perform soft reset/restart/restore
Hmmm! I tried Firefox, IE and enabling/disabling my web antivirus... no change. Then I stumbled upon another thread about this that suggested making the call with Curl (»curl.haxx.se/) So, I ran the following:
Lo and behold, the darned modem immediately reset as it should! It's still rather weird that this doesn't work at all from either browser (and my IE is particularly bland - no extra toolbars or plugins), but at least this helps narrow it down a bit.
I'm still working on the "restore factory defaults" functionality, though so far using the data "RestoreFactoryDefault=1" isn't working. Or maybe it's got to be done with the ResetReq data, not sure yet. |

| Ok, now I know how to get both reset modes working.
Posting "RestoreFactoryDefault=1" and then posting "ResetReq=1" (or doing both at once) appears to cause the more thorough "Factory" reset. Note that just sending "RestoreFactoryDefault=1" alone has NO immediate effect, but apparently primes the modem for the reset mode it'll use when it DOES get the ResetReq:
It takes longer than the regular reset in my previous response (3-5 min?), also clearing the log and downloading the config file ("SW Download INIT - Via Config file d11_m_sb5101_silver_c01.cm", which appears to be correct for my level of service and modem type).
It's a little academic (it neither helped nor hurt) but it's good for future reference. |
