Super, glad you have got it sorted out.
Yes, once the line has be up and connected at a speed higher than at least the next BRAS step for about 72hrs it'll reset, you may notice a brief outage when it does it.
No surprises there, then ;)

The ATMOS console command documentation is fine, but you're right - it deals principally with the syntax. It's certainly not a 'how to' manual!
However, the 'itex' command is product specific, not ATMOS specific. It should have been down to D-Link to document it - and what documentation there is isn't available. [Note: IIRC the DSL-504 was built by D-Link's ODM division, now hived off as Alpha Networks - so perhaps they have the docs...]
Well, there's hardly much memory for lots of help!
No, I think its output goes to the console port. On the later models of DSL-504 there is an RJ-whatever connector which provides signals at 3.3V CMOS logic levels. If you construct a simple line driver circuit with a MAX232 chip or similar to drive the signals up to RS-
232-C levels you can connect to it directly via a serial line rather than via Telnet. Then you can issue the command and see the output...Well, this is a DIY group :)
Kind regards

Indeed. But the router's web-based config is intended to hide all this complexity from the end user.
The problem in consumer-class products is that underneath the surface the devices are capable of much greater functionality than is shown on the web-based config screens. To access this functionality, it is necessary to drop down to a lower command line interface (CLI).
In this case there is a great deal of functionality available via the CLI - but the manufacturer has not released any technical reference documentation, so it's a little tricky to use :(
There is a fine dividing line between making things easy for the 'average user' but too simple for those with technical knowledge who want to do something a little more advanced. Not easy, as those of us who've been involved in complex technical developments will know only too well...
Kind regards

Not sure about these days, but it was the ONLY way to program a cisco when I started.
Just get a speedtouch USB modem ;)
cheers, Pete.
In fact the courses are quite amazing. They don't have content as to how to implement a network correctly but rather the correct commands to use to achieve the Cisco way of doing things, preferably with lockout of other vendors if you did but realise it.
Nothing has changed though. I can recall IBM operating a divide and rule certification scheme with experts in TSO, VTAM, 3780 and all the rest of it. Customers lapped it up then, and they continue to do so. Now where did John Chambers begin his professional career? Why do most Cisco products have 4 digit model numbers?
He's trying to fix a problem, not create several.

Thanks Phil, but it turned out to be a completely undocumented switch in the router.
Interesting - what router, what switch? Just trying to explain the
768K/384K down/up on my very long line drooping to 64K up and giving terrible error rates until I power cycle the router? Phil
MM.No relvantto that.
Mine was D-link DSL 504 and tt was set to 'too smart by half'
so it tried to synch beyond a reliable speed.
I found a setting in it using telnet - 'itex enhance' - and turned it off.
It then behaved like any other.
If power cycling the router fixes your problem its a router problem
See if there is a firmware upgrade, Or if its simply getting too hot. Mine locks up at 40C.
Have a look at
Bloody hell!, where is it located?, I hope your other gear isn't on the boiler!...
In a rack with no fan and a glass door..now left open..
Should hope so too;!...
Temperature of the kit temperature of the room.
The plastic case of my ADSL router feels decidedly warm sat on a window sill next to the NTE. Places handy LCD room thermometer that goes up to
30C on it, the green "this is the temp" bit shoots off scale. If the case is that warm the electronics will be even warmer...HomeOwnersHub website is not affiliated with any of the manufacturers or service providers discussed here.
