Re: [DSL] Need Help with .bat to restart my speedstream 4100 att
You might be able to reset the modem with a BAT file. You would have to be able to send the reset button command to the modem. For example, the page link to the reset button is: »192.168.0.1/reset_device.htm , but that won't reset the modem until the reset button is pushed. I haven't looked at the components of that page enough to see if there is a simple link that will reset the modem.
If there isn't, I'll bet that a BAT file call to run cURL that then issues a reset command would work. »curl.haxx.se/ |

I'd probably dig up my old X-10 computer interface and a X-10 appliance control module, and just have the computer turn the modem off, wait a couple of minutes, then turn the modem back on, to make sure I didn't get the same IP address.
I have to ask... WHY are you looking to be able to change the modem's IP address so often that you'd want to set up an automated task to do so? |

Sorry for taking so long to reply, and thank you for your reply, I have been away. I am wanting to get a new Public IP address and I know that by restarting the modem, either by powering the unit down or by using the GUI interface and pressing the Disconnect and then the Restart Button a new Public IP address is assigned. I am open to other ways of accomplishing this, I just need it to be in a .bat file, so any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you once again for you time and any further help or suggestions |

The two main requirements to get access to the CLI are a hard reset or a GUI reset (not a restart) of the modem without passing any ATM traffic afterwards AND a direct connection to the modem.
What do you intend for the modem restart to accomplish? There might be a different way to do what you want. |

| [DSL] Need Help with .bat to restart my speedstream 4100 att Mod
Hello
I am trying to come up with a way to restart my AT&T version Speedstream 4100 modem through a .bat file. I have attempted to use CLI through telnet using the SpeedStream5200FTP.exe method (as found at '»broadbandreports.net/faq/sbc/3.1···00#15732') and have not been able to get the command line prompt (xsh>). I have installed the WinPcap and VB requirements. I am not sure how to proceed or if there may be an easier method to what I am trying to do. I realize more information may be needed and I will be happy to provide what ever anyone may need to help me.
Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions you may be able to provide |
