Oh... I'am affraid...
but thank you for the answer.

Then, maybe it could be an example of a reason why they may release the 
specs...
(as an answser to the "Thompson reply for speedtouch tech specs..." 
thread...)

No we have  no idea because to communicate with the  modem, we must know
USB vendor commands that are not documented.

The  USB modem does  not present  a telnet  interface like  the ethernet
version  does. The  only  way to  communicate  commands is  to use  that
undocumented USB commands.

So to sum up things simply:
No specs => No informations

[speedtouch] Re: line attenuation & configuration

2003-02-15 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I searched for some informations about the subject.
What i found convinced me that the modem knows the
line attenuation & the configuration of the line.
In fact it seems that the modem needs to know
what he can do (maximum data rate, send fastdata
or interleaved data...).

I also got an exemple of the typically data i want to get
from a Speed Touch USB :
--- Example (obtained with a Speed Touch Home) 
---
Operational data report : near end (Downstream)
---
Attainable line rate : 10844 kbit/sec
Attainable Atm rate : 9280 kbit/sec
Used line rate : 960 kbit/sec
Fast used Atm rate : 0 kbit/sec
Interleaved used Atm rate : 608 kbits/sec
Rel. capacity occupation : 9
Noise Margin : 45 dB
Line attenuation : 13 dB
Output Power : 15 dBm

Operational data report : far end (Upstream)

Attainable line rate : 1184 kbit/sec
Attainable Atm rate : 992 kbit/sec
Used line rate : 288 kbit/sec
Fast used Atm rate : 0 kbit/sec
Interleaved used Atm rate : 160 kbits/sec
Rel. capacity occupation : 24
Noise Margin : 37 dB
Line attenuation : 5 dB
Output Power : 12 dBm
--- End of example ---

Any idea on how to get such data from the Speed Touch USB ?
(even an assumption...)

Thanks for any help
Nicolas
