BL4K3Y · 25-05-09, 12:14 AM

heh, you might. there handy to have anyway, its a good unbricking tool for sb's and webbys.

i think you can use a max for the 120's but i think the bootloader is a bit different. its not option p

Yes, i've noticed that because the options are different. Anybody know how to work the Ambit 120 in Hyperterminal? Would it help if I posted a log of the modem connected?

This is what I get in Hyperterminal:

"Hit a key in 2 seconds to enter the diag menu...
Sym rate=6929524, SNR=34.68 dB, DS power = -23.3 dBmV
Freq err=-1684 kHz, QAM: no, FEC=no, QAM64
LDAIT = 0xFFF0(65520), LDAII = 0xFFFF(65535)
------------------------------------------------------
2) Phy sub-menu
3) 311x status
5) Re-acquire downstream lock QAM mode
6) Miscellaneous sub-menu
7) Upstream sub-menu
9) Search for a downstream channel
10) Read/write register/memory locations"

Meh.....

Bin it or sell it and get a modem that is able to support the faster speeds that I'm sure you desire!
