How to activate the multi user / router functionality of a Thomson ST 546v6

  (Wednesday, November 7. 2007)
As I said in a previous blog (Telekom Austria und neues ADSL Modem - Speedtouch 546 v6) posting I'm going to write a small tutorial which explains how to upgrade the firmware of a Thomson ST 546v6 and to use the built-in router feature of the "modem".

Telekom Austria disables the setup wizard of the modem why it is not possible to reconfigure the modem using the web interface. They provide a little tool called "modem configurator" which is a part of the aonController program and which can be used to switch from single user to multi user mode. However this tool can only be used by Telekom Austria customers and I think it does not work for other people like me who have a different provider (in my case UPC/Inode) but are still using Telekom Austria's equipment. Indeed I would not like to use those crappy tools which are provided by Telekom Austria and furthermore I wanted the upgrade the modem's firmware to the latest stable version.

Telekom Austria und neues ADSL Modem (Speedtouch 546 v6)

  (Thursday, August 30. 2007)
Letzens hat mein altgedientes ADSL-Modem (Speedtouch 510), welches ich vor ~6 Jahren von der Telekom Austria zur Verfuegung gestellt bekommen habe, den Geist aufgegeben. Inzwischen habe ich zwar den Provider gewechselt, allerdings ist die TA nachwievor fuer die Geraete zustaendig. Dank etwas Vitamin B hatte ich auch schon am naechsten Tag um 11 Uhr einen Techniker der Telekom zu Hause, der das alte Modem durch ein neues Modell ausgetauscht hat. An dieser Stelle sollte ich wohl noch erwaehnen, dass es sich bei diesem Speedtouch Geraet nicht um ein reines Modem, sondern um einen voll funktionsfaehigen Router, handelt. Bei dem alten Modell konnte man die Zugangsdaten des Providers ueber das Webinterface einstellen, damit sich das "Modem" selbst einwaehlt und man nicht von dem Rechner aus eine VPN-Verbinung herstellen muss.

Im folgenden ein Gespraech zwischen dem Techniker und mir:

Linksys WRT54GL and Tomato firmware

  (Sunday, April 29. 2007)
Last week I replaced my PC router (133MHz, 32MB RAM, 0,9 GB HD) with a Linksys WRT54GL hardware router. The old Slackware box had done a great job for several years now but the time had come to exchange the old machine with a new one. The router's hard disk had a lot of bad blocks the last weeks wherefore I believed that the hard disk's end was near. So I had the choice between using another PC or buying a hardware router.. I decided to purchase a hardware box because I need all my computers for other tasks and this time I wanted to have a soundless router (the old PC was very quiet but not soundless) which does not need a lot of power.
