Re: Superhub Telnet
 

My IP ends x.x.x.39, did you get a failure with that one? If so then it's a firewall/blocking error that's showing up and not a login error as I got no response.

Re: Superhub Telnet
 

can you list what other extra features it has?

Re: Superhub Telnet
 

Hi Kymmy - No that wasn't one of the IP addresses

Chrysalis - as far as I am aware the only extra option the business version of thefirmware has is - under basic settings there are some extra options in connection with the L2TP tunnel that is used to provide the static IP addresses:-

Cable Network Settings
Domain Name
Device Name
WAN Connection Type L2TP(DHCP)
PPP User Name *********
PPP Password *********
L2TP Server xx.xx.xx.xx (Host name or IP)


There are also entries under Static IP Subnet setup but I think I've seen that same set of options on the residential firmware.

As mentioned before modem mode is not provided in this firmware. SSH is disabled, but telnet is enabled, though the GUI login ID & Password do not grant access to the telnet interface.

Since the device is in no NAT mode as I have 5 routable IP addresses the port forwarding options are not present.

In no NAT mode the Firewall Features checkbox in Services is greyed out and unticked.

The base code version is the same - 5.5.2, but I am unsure if R04-BU is a derivative of the R04 build for the residential Superhub (very old!) or whether the -BU stream is a totally separate stream.


I am on the 50 Mb/s business service and in an area that has not yet received the upstream bandwidth increases, however it seems the business service in a non upgraded area is not set the same as the residential one:-

Primary Downstream Service Flow
Downstream(0)
SFID 21328
Max Traffic Rate 54600000 bps
Max Traffic Burst 10000 bytes
Mix Traffic Rate 0 bps

Primary Upstream Service Flow
Upstream(0)
SFID 21327
Max Traffic Rate 3490000 bps
Max Traffic Burst 8160 bytes
Mix Traffic Rate 0 bps
Max Concatenated Burst 8160 bytes
Scheduling Type Best Effort

After chatting to someone in an area that has had the upstream increase that is set to 5700000 bps

EVen though I have upstream set to 3.49 Mb/s I rarely achieve over 2.2 - 2.5 Mb/s upstream. Downstream seems a solid 47 Mb/s

Re: Superhub Telnet
 

ok thanks for the info.

Re: Superhub Telnet
 

Not entirely unsurprising, the entire channel can only shift 9Mb/s or so and it's probably the only one feeding the DOCSIS 3 network in your area.

May be worth reconnecting to see if you can find another channel, I suspect you're currently on 25.8MHz?

Might be another one at 29.2MHz.

Re: Superhub Telnet
 

Spot on - my upstream is channel 2 at 25.8 Mhz, TDMA

I'll see if I can find the 29.2Mhz one. Hopefully they will move to ATDMA and 18 Mb/s before too long, since the upgrade work seems to be in progress given I noticed the move from QPSK to 16QAM on DOCSIS 1. The DOCSIS 1 network here seemed to have three upstreams. Do you know if the upstream upgrade work provides more upstream channels as well as increasing the capacity of those already available? Where more than one is available what determines which one the modem will lock onto?

Also in a given area on DOCSIS 3 are the same 4 downstreams used by all or are there a pool of channels available and the modem will select 4 of them?

Re: Superhub Telnet
 

There may or may not be a 29.2MHz channel available.

There will indeed be additional upstreams ready to go with the upgrade work. At the moment the network is restricted to a shade over 30MHz as end point for upstreams, the upgrade work increases this to 85MHz.

In a given area the same downstreams on DOCSIS 3 are used by all devices - if there were two pools of channels it would make far more sense to put them all together as one single 8 channel bonded group than to split them into 2 x 4.

Re: Superhub Telnet
 

Ignition do you know why VM share the downstream channels but split the upstreams into seperate groups? I dont mean bonding but rather allowing devices to use the upstream channels.
