1. Have you changed the TCP/IP properties of your laptop, so that it resides in the same subnet?

2. If you have done the above, ICMP should be possible between client and the iDirect. If it isnt, confirm your modems ip address (aka the default GW - which is the modems Eth0 address) and double check the properties of the laptop as well, to ensure that the client occupies an address in that subnet.

3. Once ICMP is possible, confirm that you can latch onto the iDirect with iSite. If you cannot, double check to see if your iSite version matches the IDS version of your options file (you can find the version information in the first few blocks of the options file - ensure they match).

1-i didn't change my laptop tcp/ip properties in any way

2-wht you mean by that (ICMP)

my isite version is suitable

after i check the opt file i uploaded to my 3100 modem i see that the model written in opt file is for 5100

how can i make RJ-45 to DB-9 Female DTE Adapter cause i can't find it here in my region so i can connet to my modem through console

That is the reason why you cannot talk to the iDirect unit (IDU). Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) = A ping It is recommended that you have a decent understanding of Network Fundamentals/basics before you leap into this.

this is my remote ip settings (from opt file):

modem ip 85.31.76.1
subnet mask 255.255.255.248
dns 85.31.76.1
   85.31.66.4

i tried to set my laptop ip manually as follow:

ip 85.31.76.2
subnet mask 255.255.255.248
gateway    85.31.76.1

dns    85.31.76.1
   85.31.66.4

but i can't even ping my modem?

how to make RJ-45 to DB-9 Female DTE Adapter?

*what is the user name of os_password for idirect modem

Thank you in advance

Once you know that you can use iSite to load new software images, option file etc. Best regards, Eric.

firs of all thank you

as i know by using �DB9-RJ45 cable i can access my modem without ip . cause it communicate through com port

so i can past new option file from linux console as a result my modem will return to it's normal state

is that right �TDMAMike ?

Pasting will work as well but this is just so you have an understanding... You asked for a password... I'm assuming for linux via serial cable? u/n - root pass - iDirect
