Conceptronic C54APRA2+ hints & Tips

simple hint & tip: when adding the FTP server to your configuration through the virtual server part, you have to DISABLE the enabled FTP setting in the Firewall. The Firewall is preventing the FTP server to be accessed. (Firewall has higher priority than the virtual server).

If you forget to disable the firewall setting  than the FTP virtual server setting is only working when removing / adding the rule and not save/restart the setting.

More hints tips? ask ;-) I am busy with the SNMP hints & tips tricks for MRTG

Landisk Howto fix the device after a failing upgrade

Some users mail me with the question that their LANDRIVE (CHD3LAN, or any other typenumber) is not accessible anymore after the firmware upgrade and/or upgrade of the bootloader.

screen3bk5_1.jpg

Uploading the kernel/web interface does not work or is not possible anymore as the webinterface is not accessible anymore. After a reboot / restart the quick configuration tool still is showing (or even maybe not) that there is a bootloader available (see image above).

To get the LANDRIVE (CHD3LAN) workable again you need to start with following: make sure your IP address of your PC is in the same range as the device: 169.254.0.2. Even if you do not see the loader running: the IP address you can access the device is 169.254.0.2. DO NOT USE a router but connect the LANDRIVE device directly to your PC LAN Card.

If you do not do this and you try go upgrade you will get an error message telling you that “subnet differ, connection fail”

As the loader in this example is running you only need to upload KERNEL+WEB interface to the device.

Use TFTP for this and the commandline will be: TFTP.EXE -i 169.254.0.1 put conceptronic45e-web.bin

the kernel and webinterface will be uploaded through the tftp protocol. After this fast upload wait 1 or 2 minutes. The device (at least the Conceptronic one) is restarting itself. With the Quick upgrade tool you can follow the bootprocess. Finally you will see the kernel NAS-BASIC45 running again.

If you do not see the loader running at 169.254.0.1 you can (or maybe have to) use the MT.EXE tool

Use the MT.EXE tool (available in one of my packages / folder), make sure the target is directed to 169.254.0.1 and upload the bootloader file rom125_2m.bin to it. It’s possible that you will see some wierd messages, upgrade ok, error etc.. but my opinion is that if your IP is in the same IP range the bootloader can be upgraded, you can check with the Quick Upgrade tool the status again. In all circumstances: DO NOT turn off the device within 1 minute.

When upgrading with the Quick Upgrade tool: wait until the program tells you the upgrade was a success or it was failed. The program will always end. Do not force it to stop.

Maybe this howto needs to be changed / adjusted a little: drop your comments ..

-= beta beta -= LANDISK RDC2882 NAS-BASIC43

NAS-BASIC43

this one can replace the NAS-BASIC41 firmware
very beta , should only be used if you dare to use it. It can brake your LANDISK (RDC2882 chipset)
you need Loader67 with at least firmware 41
this one fixes at least some nasty ftp bugs (disconnected transfers)
added support for daylight saving (finally !)
fixed free size incorrect when delete a big file.
fixed Homepage field is Null or Space, reject data.

If someone likes to do modification on HTML level (GUI etc) .. I can compile the web interface ..
to have webgui change .. if anyone is interested in modifying the GUI .. mail me.

and if you wonder if the upgrade works: here a screendump of my running nas-basic43 firmware

Conceptronic C54APRA & DLINK G604T SNMP

Good news for Conceptronic C54APRA and DLINK G604T ADSL modems

Latest firmware release with ADSL2+ functionality enables SNMPv2 features for this ADSL modem

Although the cfgmaker for MRTG does not retrieve all information correctly (no system information) the information for the dataspeed (traffic) is almost correct ;-) I used ifInOctets and IfOutoctets
So actually you can use this mrtg config script for the DSL line and WLAN or use the OID for ADSL in another config file.
Target[adsl]: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.2&1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.2:public@192.168.1.1

Enjoy.

MIB, SNMP, MRTG

I’ve a new DSL modem @ home; Conceptronic C54APRA, with special ADSL2+ firmware (I’m prepared as dutch KPN is upgrading their lines). A new feature is SNMP

I use MRTG, but the standard config does not make correct statistics. Therefore I used snmpwalk and checked the MIB ..

Now I have the MIB, I need to have te mrtg.cfg, but no idea where to start. Anyone a hint?

Advies ..

Hans,

zolang de mensen die denken te weten waarover ze praten Conceptronics blijven schrijven ipv Conceptronic en niet weten waar Abraham de mosterd haalt neem ik wat ze schrijven met een korreltje zout.

Advies: schrijf eens een stuk over wat we nu doen. En niet wat we deden. Die 25 jaar is geweest .. Wat doet 2L Int., Comp, New L. en meer .. voeg iets toe en maak dingen duidelijk. Draag die visie uit via je weblog. Het corporate of new experience gevoel voegt niets toe in mijn visie.

Nee we bouwen geen PC’s meer maar wel andere dingen. En met je weblog zou je dat uit kunnen dragen als professioneel weblogger.

Hoeft niet maar je zou het kunnen overwegen.

Oh b.t.w. ik ben op huwelijksreis .. dus ik maak me de eerst komende maand al helemaal niet druk over het een of ander ;-)
