Unlocking the potential of Sagemcom 2704N
Quote from: grm Also applied Matty's v3-A firmware ........ ........ that was a breeze too.
Excellent,
I've had no problems so far.
I wasn't aware that I needed to plug through and add it to the correct place in the existing config in the correct order, that might be what the problem is then.
I think a little program to put it all together would be a brilliant idea
I only use Linux and OSX here.
Cheers Matty123123.

Righty... After trying many little programs on the net, this appears to be the only working solution (to combine configs):

As its using Python, it has the possibility to work across all OSes.
Copy-n-Paste it into e.g. combiner.py (ignoring the line print '-'*20 at the bottom)
So, assuming your main-text-config is "sample1.xml"
and this is "sample2.xml"
[code=sample2.xml]<DslCpeConfig version="3.0">
<InternetGatewayDevice>
<X_BROADCOM_COM_AppCfg>
<SshdCfg>
<NetworkAccess>LAN</NetworkAccess>
</SshdCfg>
</X_BROADCOM_COM_AppCfg>
<SshControl>
<Enable>TRUE</Enable>
<UserName>username-here</UserName>
<Password>password-here</Password>
</SshControl>
<X_BROADCOM_COM_SyslogCfg>
<Status>Enabled</Status>
<Option>local buffer</Option>
<LocalDisplayLevel>Error</LocalDisplayLevel>
<LocalLogLevel>Debug</LocalLogLevel>
</X_BROADCOM_COM_SyslogCfg>
</InternetGatewayDevice>
</DslCpeConfig>
[/code]
This method requires a full hierarchical tree defined. In a previous post I purposely omitted the <DslCpeConfig version="3.0"> and <InternetGatewayDevice> which I should not have done that ! sorry.
I thought it would be easy to find a quick program I tried about a dozen "XML Mergers" and none of them worked correctly ! wow
EDIT:
Thanks to 11110_110, he pointed out that this line:
"<?xml version="1.0"?>"
Is missing fromt he top of the config. So you need to add it manually or add it as a print option in the python script.
Cheers.

Quote from: rongtw As a matter of interest How come PN dont release an update for the router ?? with this added
I think thats a good question, I'll try to give a reason why ""I think"" they have not...
The software started out as a full software (with dect/phone option). How-ever I can see they have really cut down to save power. But they have also cut down on the amount of Flash & RAM it has, because of some managment guy.
Everyone like the idea of firewall this-n-that. But in theory they dont need to add it in, because of the firewall option when you log-into your account (which has its own issues)
so, they removed that part of the config - so they can reduce the space used. By this act alone, it will cut down the config size.
If you have a look at the stock firmware, where the menu items are in http://192.168.1.254/menuBcm.js ; guys called guxr,chengjianwei,Chen,Manju have marked lots of options as 'bugs' which are blocking menu options. The bugs are numbered, but the numbers appear to be referencing an internal ticketing system, but I believe has nothing to do with plusnet.?
Once a bug, its probably not going to go back!, because there is always another customer to have a problem of "Deleting the WAN interface" and demanding its plusnets fault.
Also I think they have disabled the serial port interface.... because when the aDSL is active. the responce time is soo slow it is really struggling to keep up with any command you type.
They have possibly another bug with the compressing of the config correctly. So removing more options keeps it down. The change I made to get round this works fine. But its not technically by-there-book. (My book is fine)
Ooooh, that felt good saying that
