Re: Searching for Westell Diagnostic Icon
When you run the browser, you just get one tab, right?
If so hit CTRL-ALT-F7! (the magic keystroke!)
If on the other hand, the program displays "N/A" for certain entries when running with all status entries visible, that's due to some models not providing the said metric.
There's no freeware copy, if you have such a thing I'd love to see it!
Refer to other posts on the subject. The Verizon forum FAQ has a lot of other info I and others like Dr. Dan and MikePD accumulated.
Best wishes

B90-36R515/516's don't have an http interface, at least that I know of, unless possibly you have Webshare/Webshare Pro [ sorry never played with one of those. ]
Try »192.168.1.254 or »launchmodem (this would be applicable to the A90-210030-04 that BellSouth provides, or the 2100 routers directly from Westell.
Here's more info (if it's of any help) »AT&T Southeast Forum FAQ »How do I open/forward ports on a Westell?
You mentioned you're using a Westell B90-36R516. I have two of it's siblings, and to the best of my knowledge, the only way to get stats from them is to use the Modem Browser.
UNLESS - Do you have Webshare or Webshare pro installed?

Assigning a non-routable (192.168.x.y) IP to your NIC |
However if you want to assign a static IP to your network card, here's how in Windows XP:
• Click START -> Control Panel -> Network & Internet Connections -> Network Connections
• You may need to specify a primary and secondary DNS servers later on. I suggest before starting, fork to CMD, type "ipconfig/all" and write down your primary and secondary DNS addresses to be filled in later.
• Highlight the Ethernet card your Westell is connected to and select 'Properties'
• Highlight the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) " binding and click "Properties" again.
• Mark off "Use the following IP address" .
• Specify 192.168.0.1 (or any other non routable IP) and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 .
• Fill in your primary and secondary DNS servers from the earlier step.
• Click OK a few times.
HTH
If not, have you tried using both versions of the software?
»djesigns.com/upload/westell_51x_···icon.exe [larger in file size] or »https://www.westell.com/content/download···stic.exe
The software should not need a static IP assigned and will do it by itself if needed.

It shouldn't be ISP specific. The new 06.01.02 firmware on the older modems is basically a bug fix.
You can also revert back to the previous firmware the modem had installed by uninstalling the firmware upgrade.
Having said that, I think the most prudent way to upgrade is to use either the DGN Icon or the management utility and check your PVC settings - - actually the most prudent way is to not upgrade at all unless you're experiencing problems.
Here are mine. Getting any of this stuff wrong will of course knock you offline.
SBC users will be able to tell you what's normal on the network.
If the upgrade is botched, you can easily do a hard reset of the modem. All it takes is a little bit of care, a screwdriver and a jumper cable to hard-reset the modem as ChiDSL66  has kindly pointed out to the group:
»Hard Resetting Westell B90-36R516
»Re: Hard Resetting Westell B90-36R516
»Re: Hard Resetting Westell B90-36R516
If it's working, don't flash it. Without a hard reset button, a botched attempt at upgrading the firmware can only be fixed by popping open the modem and jumpering it so that it boots from the Alcatel Dynamite Chipset firmware.
And of course, always be mindful of the VPI*VCI settings before you do anything. FWIW Verizon and SBC are both 0*35.

| I am looking for the file westell_51x_diagnostic_icon.exe.
Westell Diagnostic Icon for models A90-36R515. B90-36R515, B90-36R516
If anyone has it, please let me know.
Also, does anyone know if the firmware upgrade available at »www.westell.com/pages/verizon_down_pc.jsp is ISP specific or can it be applied to any modem on anyone's network?
Thanks guys-
