It seems the Germans REALLY like to tweak their DSL connections...

Re: OrbMT Modem Tool

Cool tool, it needs Microsoft framework 2.0 installed but still cool.

Interesting when I took some line stats with it today. Considering I was at 3000/800 and fastpath just the night before, I'm guessing something is going on the CO

Interesting indeed. I don't know WTF bell is up to, but they seem to be reducing people's upload speeds. I've seen too many people reporting, 3008/512, 4032/512, and 5056/512 speeds when the upstream can handle 800 easily. I'd be pissed and complain, your upload can clearly handle 800k.

Re: OrbMT Modem Tool

Hi Weales,
Hi HiVolt,

It seems you checked your profile just in time for
a surprize:  speed was traded for InterLeave mode!

Perhaps you can ask for 4032/800 Kbps Fast then...



My SpeedTouch 546v6 uses a recent FirmWare so i've
set OrbMT to the "Speedtouch V62 (Thomson)" option
instead of just "Speedtouch (Thomson)".  I suppose
the later item is required under v6.1.0.5, HiVolt?

Re: OrbMT Modem Tool

Pissed is a very good description in how I feel. I had a rock solid connection one day and the next they totally switch everything by upping the download profile, downing the upload profile, switch me from Fastpath to interleave. I upload at full speed on the new upload profile but download at 30 k max

Ticket is open but Execulink gave me a hassle just to open one...

Yeah, have to use just the "Speedtouch (Thomson)" part for lower than 6.2.x.x.

Is there any good reason to upgrade to the newer one? I have absolutely no issues whatsoever. Though I'm thinking if it may fix the strange SNMP issues i had before trying to get PRTG to work, it was reading zero values on all the graphs. Have you seen a changelog anywhere?

Re: OrbMT Modem Tool

Hi DKS,

So, you couldn't resist the urge to try it?  Well,
i didn't leave my ST546 on-line long enough to get
a good idea of what the late v7 FirmWare is about.

I noticed that Remote Assistance came with options
called "Permanent" and "Temporary" but that was it
for me, i'm in the middle of something so i needed
to put back my GNet.  Anyway, Remote Assistance is
now using the "Administrator" password when set to
"Permanent" mode but i wouldn't recommend it since
any TelNet-based utility, such as 'DMT', will send
credentials in clear text (which is why i'd prefer
to have SSH support in 'DMT', 'STMT' and 'OrbMT')!



That's all i can tell about it so far, i'm looking
forward for more reviews in the meantime!  I won't
mind if it makes me forget some previous releases.

 Hi Angelo168,
Hi DKS,

Would you mind if i check what has happened to the
DownStream SNR Margin on your side?  Mine is going
down after a few hours, it's "bleeding" like other
FirmWares i tried before;  i expect the error rate
to be around 3870 per day, which is usual in here.

The last time cared to test it using my GNet i had
more like 1530 per day, which is about 60 % lower.

I wish you'll have more positive views on tha one!

My downstream SNRM is steady at 7.0 db over the last 12 hours. I'm also seeing fewer errored seconds with this firmware.

Re: OrbMT Modem Tool

Hi,

Thank you both!  Mine settled around 14 dB and the
error rate is going down slowly as the main source
of noise here is cooking activity.  I wish i could
get Error Rate curves from my ST546v6 to make some
comparisons with my collection of GNet/DMT records
but something strange happened, nonetheless - take
a look at this post, i have no simple explanation:

going to see if stats change or if it was just fluke.

Re: OrbMT Modem Tool

Hi Angelo,

And...  Looking at my 'DMT' captures from the post
to which i refer, what do you think of the way the
signal energy was spread across its spectrum after
the ST got moved far way from our Demarcation box?

Isn't it puzzling?!  See how the notches vanished!

Re: OrbMT Modem Tool

Hi,

Not 'DMT' since i didn't find it on its dedicated web site
but i could be wrong - and you may be the one to tell us.

Knowing the ChipSet helps a great deal and should 'DMT' not
support this brand/model then there's SNMP but i still have
to see non-bloated SoftWare capable of generating graphics
as useful as 'DMT's... Is it not similar to the USR 910x
series which happens to have extended BandWidth Shaping in
its GUI? If so i'd love to see what you can do with it!!!

Re: OrbMT Modem Tool

Hi Angelo168,

I've done a bit of searching on Google and found a
Spanish forum where someone wrote that the 3CRW200
is BroadCom-based...  Here's the URL, his post was
made on May 14 at 11h17 and it's signed BocaDePez:

«huawei hg520 a potato

The 3com 3crw100 is based on Texas Instruments chips,
and 3crw200 is based on Broadcom, like many others,
with which it shares its problems.

This is the 3crw100 open:
