250configurator guide.
once your Ambit250 has had the firmware flashed sucessfully its time for you to input your area settings this is made easy with Boltars 250configurator App.
Also the 250configurator Requires the following 2 microsoft application's to run correctly:
1. Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86)
2. Microsoft Visual J# Version 2.0 Redistributable Package
CONNECTION.
you can either use a max232/233 cable through your COM Port or ethernet cable through Telnet.

list ove the area details you'll need:
1.A Valid Mac Address
2.Tuner Type
3.Annex Mode
4.Downstreem Freq
5.Config File
6.Tftp Server IP
7.Admin Status is always 3
8.Max DL Tries is always 4
Force Cfg is Ticked
Telnet Enabled well thats up to you
some area settings.
NTL:
cm_tuner 19

Look in the Private FTA section, there is a link to a download section at doinit4thelulz.co.uk or just go direct to the site. There is everything you need for your modem there.

Do i need a max232 cable kit to load on hax?

[cockneysean]

No, if you already have a shelled firmware on it, as it seems that you do, all you need is the Haxorware firmware, TFTPD32, and putty or hyperterminal.

If you download Haxorware from Haxorware.com the RAR file includes the instructions to do it through telnet with putty or hyperterminal.

All you have to do is start up TFTPD and put the firmware's bin file in its root directory, then use the commands that are given in the text files that accompany the Haxorware download in the RAR file.

But I will say it is always handy to have a MAX232 cable just in case you get any more modems in the future that require it.

i cant seem to get tis hax on it it did my head in last night need a dummies guide for this as i said never done owt like this also when i do the hax ip test it asks for user name and password. from what? tried a few no joy

[cockneysean]

Seriously mate, I don't want to be a moaning minnie, but if you followed my advice about reading the upgrade text file that comes with Haxorware, it doesn't get much simpler. I have taken the time to get it for you, take a read:

Set your computers ip to 192.168.100.10
Set up a TFTP server with haxorware11rev32.bin in its root
Make sure the haxorware webgui isn't currently open
Connect to modem with hyperterminal or telnet to the IP 192.168.100.1
Enter your username and password
cd /ip
ipconfig 1 release
y
dload -i 1 -l -f 192.168.100.10 haxorware11rev32.bin
y
cd /
reset

Thats all you have to do to upgrade from your current shelled firmware. Just telnet into the modem and run the commands.
