RT Firmware: Access Control Settings doesn’t Save
RT Firmware: Access Control Settings doesn’t Save
I am running RouterTech’s “TNETW1350A release” firmware (Oct 2007) on a SWART2-54125 router and cannot get any Access Control settings to save. When I select ‘Apply’, the screen returns to its initial settings.
‘Restore Defaults’ does not help.
I have performed a ‘Backup Configuration’, examined ‘config.bin’ and noticed that the changes make were saved in the second instance <catagoryH> (the one with out ‘description’). Seems surprising to me that there are two instances in this way.
Is this a bug?

Re: RT Firmware: Access Control Settings doesn’t Save
Same bug here with a Bewan 700G RoHS and last (v3.7.0a-w1.0.6) BeWAN firmware. The chip is TNETW1350A too.Dorcots wrote:I am running RouterTech’s “TNETW1350A release” firmware (Oct 2007) on a SWART2-54125 router and cannot get any Access Control settings to save.

It's annoying. Will it be corrected in a future RT firmware ?

It is a bug in the core logic. Without the source code to the core logic, it is impossible to fix.

I have now found a work around to this fault (for the RouterTech firmware) as follows:
- Obtain the current router configuration as a file
- Convert the resulting .bin file to an .xml file using cfgconv.exe
- In the first instance of CategoryH, change the settings as required
- Convert the resulting .xml file to a .bin file
- Send the revised configuration to the router.
I wanted remote Telnet access and so I changed the following settings from 0 to 1:
- remote_mgmt > wan > remote_telnet > state
- acl_state
I also set IP addresses in acl > IP0 etc. Make sure you include your main LAN PC in this list so that you do not lock yourself out.

If i understood correctly, you wanted to access your router from the WAN, please correct me if i'm wrong.
I want to connect to my router using SSH.

There is one limitation that I have found. Once you enable the feature, you must provide IP addresses for all locations from which you will be gaining access (WAN and LAN). But you can only configure specific IP addresses (up to 16). I tried 0.0.0.0 but it was ignored. So I have been able to gain access from work (a static IP address) but have no chance when visiting someone's house.
I am using telnet to use the wakelan command to send a Magic Packet to my PC. I have changed my router password but perhaps I should be learning about ssh for better security.

Another way ( for ANY WAN IP) can be found here.
How active the remote web admin ?

Biro, Mine’s working too, thanks. As I half expected, I had to remove all the IP addresses from the Access Control page.biro wrote:Another way ( for ANY WAN IP) can be found here.
