Re: [BPA410] stuck.. no response to anything!
Here's an observation..
They updated the downloader code (version 010225) to break the LeadTek firmware from loading into the BPA410. If you try to load it, it says "download failed".
I installed firmware 13.12 (with downloader code 010221) and it let me then update the firmware with LeadTek AR16O..
Unfortunately, the thing got munged! Now, I can not access the web interface (no DHCP info from my server), and even tried to code-in a static IP address via the phone handset at boot. nada.
So, I took the cover off, looking for the ultimate solution. Staring at me is that 40-pin Host Interface. In the BPA410, I can see where most of the traces go, so I will begin mapping it out to build a programming interface. Once complete, it will read/write any DTA310 or BPA410 device. the ultimate recovery tool!
BTW, did someone post here that they were successful with the LeadTek firmware on their Packet8 BPA410 device? I would love to know what version of P8 firmware was on the thing before they put the LeadTek firmware on it.. |

| For all that this is worth:
It has been posted that holding the reset pin in with the phone off-hook, while plugging in the power cord and waiting for the first LED to start flashing, then releasing the reset pin, will make the unit start beeping.
Entering 1# will lower the beep frequency; entering another digit followed by # will further lower the beep freq; and so on, 2 more times. The unit then resets and can no longer be accessed from the web interface.
I kept playing around, and eventually found a combination (which I don't remember) which reset it all back to "normal", and I can now enter the web interface again.... |

Could you figure out the combination to make the BPA410 to gain web interface access again....?

| If you goto the leadtek website, they do have phone commands that can be implemented to set a static ip address on the adapter. But as far as I can tell it is ineffective on a bricked bpa due to incorrect firmware being loaded. All i get is the power light and the line1 light lit. |
