Configuration Files

 

Important notice! Thanks to Alex Boyko for bringing this to my attention.
Multinational settings can affect how ADSL Monitor handle numbers, in particular decimal numbers. If your international settings use a comma instead of a period to represent a decimal number then your modem must use comma delimited decimal numbers otherwise ADSL Monitor will ignore the number as expected. A temporary solution for this problem is to change the comma with a period. In XP go to Start/Settings/Control Panel/Regional and Language Options. Select the Regional Options tab and press Customize. In the Numbers tab enter a period '.' for the Decimal Separator.

Select the link and use the save link as option in your browser, making sure you remove the prefix ie. cisco_ , cayman_, zyxel_, 5100b_techreadout, 5100b_statistics when saving the file to your computer.

Cisco SOHO97 and Cisco 837: Thanks to Ed Garcia.

Cisco products have different line numbers depending on the dsl mode being used. Two data configuration files are supplied for each mode, ITU G.992.1 (G.DMT) and ANSI T1.413. To avoid word alignment problems between retrains or reloads the "dsl operating-mode auto" IOS command should be set to "dsl operating-mode ansi" or "dsl operating-mode itu" in the appropriate interface ( commonly ATM 0 )

For example:

cisco837#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTLZ.
cisco837(config)#interface atm0
cisco837(config-if)#dsl operating-mode ansi

Cisco 1721 WIC1-ADSL and Cisco 827: Thanks to Pau Ruiz for the configuration files. Read notes for the cisco SOHO97 and 837.

Netopia/Cayman: Thanks to Leon Riddle, for the Cayman 3000 configuration.

ZyXEL:

ZyXEL Prestige 660R (P660R-61C): Thanks to Tan Nguyen for providing valuable help and configuration files.

Westell B90-610030-60 ( BellSouth software version 03.00.61): Thanks to Steve for the BellSouth 6100 configuration.

SBC Efficient Networks 5100b (Software Version 1.0.0.39):

Note1.
For the following configuration files to work the Advanced / Log / Keep log on restart option of the 5100b must be set to off. Setting this option to on will introduce the following banner at the start of every page therefore adding a line offset to the rest of the line parameters:

Keeping the log on restart is not recommended and should be turned off.

If you want to leave the above option enabled you must add the line number offset to the rest of the parameters.

Note2.
If you directly connect routers or computers to the 5100b the line / word numbers will change dynamically because of the precense of an ARP table in the Technician Readout and Statistics pages in the 5100b, see item 323 in the Technician Readout page and Devices on LANin the Statistics page. Special care should be taken to avoid introducing additional MAC addresses. The 5100b will automatically delete the entries after an ARP timeout period. This dynamic changes will affect all line / word data after item 323 and Devices on LAN sections.
For example: If ADSL Monitor is collecting data from a 5100b and then you directly connect a new computer, router or any other ethernet device that supports the ARP protocol, the 5100b will add the device's MAC address to it's ARP table therefore introducing an offset to all the data after the ARP tables in both pages.

The 5100b offers two different statistic pages, techreadout.htm and statistics.htm. I haven't been able to find the CRC error count in the techreadout.htm so this parameter is missing in the configuration file. The statistics.htm do include the CRC error count but all the DMT information is missing and only available in the techreadout.htm page.

PPPoE is on computer or PPPoE is not used (bridge mode):

PPPoE is on the 5100b:

The Statistics 5100b configuration files assume 3 devices are included in the ARP table.
1. The ISP router's MAC address ( SBC use Redbacks, Juniper and BRAS )
2. The local router's MAC address.
3. The ADSL Monitor computer.

The Technician Readout 5100b configuration files assume 1 device is included in the ARP table.
1 . The ADSL Monitor computer.
