BSNL Dataone modem Information needed

[vjkumar]

Hi Folks,I was connected with BSNL broadband connection couple of days back. I need couple of information on LED indicators on the front panel of MT800 modem.1. When the ADSL line is active and not connected to internet does the ADSL LINK led glow continuously in "Green" ?2. When the ADSL link is active and connected to the internet (when IP address is @$$igned) does the ADSL link led turn Orange in color? (I see this happening the modem at my place)3. Have any of you experienced the Modem hanging ? i.e ADSL LINK led continuously glowing in Yellow and ADSL ACT also continuously slowing in light Yellow color ( I have seen this happening when I wanted to log out of Stanaphone account)TIA for the answers

My modem is different - UTStar UT - 300R. When I switch the modem on, the "Power" and the "PC" light remains steady initially. After a few moments, the yellow "Link" light starts to blink rapidly and then becomes steady after a few seconds. I then dial the dialler and it gets connected. It is at this point that an IP address is @$$igned using DHCP.My modem hung once. I was fiddling with the modems internal configuration page using the browser. I switched it off then on. Otherwise, I've not seen it hang so far.

Sorry for late reply, this forum was not accessible for last 3 weeks for me!

But yea, you can get MT800 manual from huawei.com if you have any problems email me at vishalrao at the google's email (hehe) and I will send you the 800kb PDF manual...

[edit:] the manual is also on the CD that you get with the modem, as someone mentioned, mine was cracked and i thought i had hit some jackpot/goldmine of information when i found the pdf online 8-P [end of edit]

basically, set your LAN IP to 192.168.1.2 subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 (dont use the PPPoE dialup) then open your browser and type http://192.168.1.1/ this will bring the modem admin/setup page... user admin, [email protected]$$word admin...

you can set the modem to dialup to bsnl when it powers on, (real always-on!) and you can set your LAN to use DHCP and you dont need to dialup... this is very useful if you're using linux and you have problems with dialup/PPPoE...

if you need some help setting it up, email me and i'll send you more info/screenshots etc...

cheers,
vishal

oh, and yes, the manual says.. .if the link light is green the speed is 10mbps, if red then its 100mbps... doesnt mention about the adsl link colours... so im @$$uming red is better than green! (i get red link)...

oh well, you can get it from here http://ironbox.org/~vishal/mt800 enjoy

also, this dude called 'appaji' (in bangalore) has this info here...

Sure, you can email me at vishalrao at google's email thingy... Although I wouldn't know too much about network setups I'll see what I can come up with... you can also email agnivo above.But yes you can use a broadband router with the dataone connection, it has to be "ADSL2+" ("g.dmt" i believe) and you can get WiFi if you need...Netgear/Linksys (Cisco) stuff works (I hear)...

anu73_in, I have been using a Netgear 802.11b wireless router for 2+ years. I have used it with 4 isp's, 1 cable modem, 3 dsl modems.Since you enter the user/pass in the modem or in the router, your voip _should_ normally work but I'm not so sure if the ports you need for a voip connection are open or blocked by bsnl.vishalrao- I think the dmt/cap protocol has to be in the modem. anu73_in said that she(I'm guessing its a she or am I wrong?) has a separate modem so she doesn't need to really worry about cap/dmt.Pretty much any router will work.

@vjkumarGREEN LED in ADLS link mean ...your PPPOE connection havent established yet...but your MODME has been SYNCed up to BSNL's DSLAM .... and when u connect or dial ...it will change it to ORAnge ......

 

[anu73_in]

Hi All,I may use Linksys Broadband router or Cisco ATA 186? Any suggestions...ThanksAnu

 

[cisco_tech]

Hiyes u can use Linksys router and yes ATA 186 will work behind NAT ...i tried it and VOICE quality is excellent ....

 

[vishalrao]

hehe "voice quality is excellent" yes you might expect that (bias?) from someone with a nick like "cisco_tech"... 8-P

Hi, I am new to this forum. I have been using PSTN dialup for internet connection. I am thinking to switch to Dataone services. I am using Laptop Dell Inspiron -5160 and have in build Modem [Modem Internal 56k Modem for Inspiron]. For taking the Dataone connection, I will need a modem and a splitter/router. And BSNL is charging Rs. 2000/- for this. I guess, my in built Modem will work fine and I will need to buy only the Splitter from open market. Can anyone suggest me, what specification/configuration is required for the splitter. Which brand to go for.thanks,Gyan

 

[vishalrao]

Keep guessing.... LOLOr I would recommend you catch some techie person (friend/relative) to help you out... or browse the other parts of this forum for more info..there's also another site vinuthomas.com/forums but that has too much chatter in it...

Gyaaaaaaaann tum yahan bhi.... wokay I'll paste the same reply here as well

Gyan mere dost,

The modem you have in your Dell Insipiron is a Dial Up modem , and the modem you need for DataOne is a ADSL2+ modem. Both of them are based on different technologies alltogether, there is no way you can use the same for each other.

Just think, the modem that you have in your computer is a 56k modem and the connection offered by DataOne starts from 256k, how is your mode going to handle the speeds.......

My humble suggestion is go for the modem offered by BSNL, it's a DSL modem cum router and is good for the job. If you try to purchase a similar device from the market it'll anyway cost you > 2000 bucks.

If you feel reluctant in spending the 2k ... go for the modem rental plan, u need to spend a non refundable deposit of 500 bucks plus a monthly rental of 100 bucks...

I hope this helps
