| If the option doesn't appear on the web interface (if there is one) you can try the urls found on the E242 hack pages. Usually even if the option is hidden the actual page is still there.
It's rather hard to say exactly how to do it as not many people here have the 4200 yet. So since we're on the subject, what do you think about the new modem?  |

| reply to bryanviper Try this procedure and tell us if it works. It is meant for the 5200 E242, but if the 4200 has similar firmware, there might be hope for unlocking it.

BTW, can you post some pics of the web interface? -- Argue opinions using facts. Not facts using opinions. |

| reply to bryanviper Does the 4200 run silent or does it make the same high pitch noise as the 5200 E242?
I found some E242's louder than others, must be noisy capacitors. My 5200 E240 is completely silent and the E242 was so noisy I could hear it as soon as I entered the room. |

I'm guessing I need to unlock/forward some ports, but the 5200/e242 instructions definitely don't work (it's a 4200/D240). Regards,

I've already posted what the Interface looks like and the color scheme is the only thing similar aka the Interface Colors match. Nothing Else. The hardware under the hood is different so I don't know what you could possibly post.
The old 5200 (E240) is the TI AR5 chipset.
The new 4200 is the TI AR7 chipset.

Is it possible that Bell has a different one or a custom firmware (like they did with previous models?) |

| reply to HiVolt This was mentioned in another thread ( »New 5242s with bad (good) firmware ): said by Im Listening : I think everyone understands that a 5242 is a 5200 with a AR7 chipset.

| reply to HiVolt The 5200 E242 I have never seen opened, but the serial output matches the faster AR7. I do know the 5200 E240 is TI5 and the 5200 E270 is AR7 due to the clock speeds posted from serial output.

1 edit | reply to bryanviper I had a brief convo with Marty5 and he had shown a couple pages from his 4200, he just used the url's from the 5200 E242 unlock post. »Unlocking your Speedstream 5200 E242
here is one screenshot Marty posted from his 4200

| Apparently AnonyGuy misled us and did not follow the instructions or did not know how to reach 192.168.2.1 in the 4200.
»Unlocking/Port Forwarding for the Speedstream 4200
Either way here are the real Sympatico 4200 images from Marty5 


Note: Even if a page exists that doesn't always mean a feature works. The Firmware has to support the feature page otherwise you may make changes that actually perform no actual change.

| reply to bryanviper Everything I was able to do after unlocking my speedstream 5200 I can do with my 4200. But I have a 4200 D242 not a D240. Here are some pics and screenshots. |

  andyb Premium join:2003-05-29 SW Ontario | why does the pic show firmware D240 while the sticker shows D242? |
|
  Marty5 Premium join:2004-03-15 Canada | Beats me. Came that way. Maybe someone more enlightened can help you out with your question. |
