RT Team,
Thanks for this latest release!

I use the ver command regularly as I find a useful summary of the system. I notice you've updated it to provide more info, but there is a slight problem if you happen not to be using encaps0.

Code: Select all

# ver
Linux version 2.4.17_mvl21-malta-mips_fp_le (developers@RouterTech.Org) #43 Tue Jan 5 15:41:39 GMT 2010
BUILD=RouterTech_3.7.1B_1350A_20100105_2.92_AR7WRD_psbl
VERSION=1350A_20100105
BOARD=AR7WRD
FSSTAMP=20100105154547
Core logic version: 3.7.1B
Boot Loader:  1.4.0.4
ATM Driver version:[7.03.00.04]
DSL HAL version: [7.02.01.00]
DSP Datapump version: [7.02.03.00] Annex A
SAR HAL version: [01.07.2c]
PDSP Firmware version:[0.54]
Chipset ID: [Ohio250(7200/7100A2)]
Upstream rate (kbps):  851
Downstream rate (kbps):  3877
Trained Modulation: ADSL_2plus
Path Mode: Interleaved
System uptime: 0 hr 2 min - 0 day(s), 0 hour(s), 3 minute(s), and 16 second(s) (system 74% idle)
WAN uptime: error: error_code=-1, err_msg=There is no container 'encaps0'
Bandwidth usage:
	Downloads : 0.0014 MB
	Uploads   : 0.0017 MB
Line attenuation: 
	DS Line Attenuation:	55	DS Margin:		9
	US Line Attenuation:	31	US Margin:		5
Memory usage:
	In active use : 73% of 14016 kb
	Available     : 27% (3892 kb) of 14016 kb
Connection information: connection1 mux1 encaps1 UKfsnCW 0:38 pppoa 
Note the line "WAN uptime: error: error_code=-1, err_msg=There is no container 'encaps0'". If I change the script to check encaps1 first then it works fine and I see "WAN uptime: 0hr 1min 39sec" for example.

I guess it's because the "-z" test in the script is looking for an empty $c2 string if encaps0 does not exist and should move onto 1 then 2.. However the strings isn't empty, it's literally the error message.
I tried playing with using cm_cli_tty instead which does appear to give an empty string, but it's error goes to the console too and of course can't be redirected! I'll leave it to a scripting expert for further suggestions for a fix!

Thanks.

Well spotted. :)

At the moment, there is no reliable way that we know for ascertaining whether it is encaps0 or encaps1 or whatever. When we find one, we will use it.

A way has been found. But you will have to wait until RT v2.93 ...

Hi

2.92 is working good with GT 704 wg

none of the Led files are working correctly.

people who is trying first time rt tech on GT 704 wg, please don't pay attetion to the power and internet led (you will see red and green color, just ignore it you might think that your router is still dropped in boot shell)
if mtd values are not setting correctly than use pctool (set at very first try).

can some one please instruct me how to make nvram or var folder rewritable ? (spoon feeding please :D )

Thanks

i successfully upgraded from 2.91 on Roper FLYNET ADSL2/2+ ROADSL2P-WG :D

then i run

Code: Select all

/var # memavail
Memory usage:
        In active use : 78% of 14044 kb
        Available     : 22% (3128 kb) of 14044 kb
/var # /usr/local/bin/check_env
1
/var # auto_defragenv.sh
Fragmentation level ("24" (out of 66 records)) versus threshold ("50") is ok.
/var #
my router has Bootloader: pspboot
does this mean i have to defrag or not? and if yes how do you defrag with RRT?

p.s. what does the Ip Account option does/means?

Unfortunately the RouterTech core logic doesn't use all the led 'states' that your original firmware has. You may be able manually change the states using the RouterTech "Led" command from the console, for example

Led powerred 1

to turn the red power Led off and

Led powergreen 0

to turn the green one on. etc.

There appear to be a lot of leds on this router, see your led_conf file, others such as pppoered, standby, wlanback, line1, line2 and voip_ready will also not be automatically used in RouterTech firmware.

It means things are probably ok as they are. The env is prettly fragmented, but not enough to cause major problems.

You don't need the RRT. See firmware-faq/#fragmentation

It means you can see how much bandwidth is being used by each connected client PC.

Excellent! :)

Good.

Not good. You don't really want to do that. Things change in the default config.xml all the time, and restoring a saved config from an older firmware will eventually come and bite you. You should reset to defaults again and configure manually.
