AVM Fritz!Box 7270 allows to run VoIP over UMTS

Some while ago AVM released firmware version 54.04.70 which added support for an UMTS Internet access, later this year version 54/74.04.76 added more feature to the UMTS uplink.

I always wanted to test VoIP over UMTS using a Fritz!Box, end of July I finally had the time to setup a testing scenario with a stable UMTS coverage. I was so excited about the result that I completely forgot to write a post about the test. Continue Reading →

Thomson ST 585 with Alzheimer’s disease

It does happen arbitrary, but my Thomson ST 585 looses it’s configuration completely each time there is a power outage. It happened just a few days ago to me again. Of course configuring a PPPoE connection on the Tomson ST 585 isn’t very hard, but the IPTV connection is currently undocumented. EPT can update the configuration via the remote administration feature of the Thomson ST 585, but it takes some time, which is really annoying. I think I will need to document how to setup the IPTV configuration without the help of the EPT helpdesk. Unfortunately my lab network is currently not available so I will have to wait until after my trip to southern France.
