Loading ...ECI B-FOCuS Router (Router Configuration Manual)
I recently got a hold on of a B-FOCuS MultiPort 342+ router and later exchanged it with a new B-FOCuS Wireless 352+ router, as an upgrade from my ISP. Unfortunately no configuration manual was supplied by the ISP in either case, so the NET was the only source of enlightment on how to configure the router to my needs.
To my total disappointment I was unable to find anything for a long time. Imagine my frustration when some links found in various forums and blogs were dead, unsupported or even in foreign languages I couldn’t read or translate. 
Fortunately enough using the Internet Archive: Wayback Machine I was able to get a hold on to the configuration manual of a similar ECI product B-FOCuS 270/285/400PR in hope the firmware was similar enough to help me configure my router. Once again my efforts were in vein. The firmware of the two products was different in all aspects.
Later on I found the confiuration manual of the actual product but in hebrew transaltion. The illustrations provided though served as a good guidance in obtaining the required knowledge as the firmware was practically the same.
After all this ordeal I decided to write a small router configuration manual explaining how I configured the individual device to serve as a router, wireless access point, UPnP devce, etc…
ECI B-FOCuS MULTIPORT 342+
ECI B-FOCuS WIRELESS 352+
ROUTER CONFIGURATION MANUAL
(compiled by: Ioannis Epaminonda on 14 July 2006, last updated on: 17 March 2007)
INTRODUCTION
Cyprus Telecommunications Authority (CyTA) a long-standing Internet Service Provider (ISP) in Cyprus has been distributing various brands and models of ADSL modems over the years to its clients for the provision of its services. It began from the from Alcatel SpeedTouch Home in the early days of the Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) service introduction, then CyTA switched brands to ECI an Israeli communications company with the B-FOCuS Multiport 342+ model and now with the B-FOCuS Wireless 352+ with the introduction of the mi-vision service. (People have also reported receiving a B-FOCuS Multiport 400PR which is an equivalent version of B-FOCuS Multiport 342+)
This has been a revolutionary change as CyTA is now distributing a router instead of a modem device to its home-user clientele. Unfortunately thou, the router has been pre-configured as a bridge which is basically the modem interface and the router support has been disabled. Although the device has 4 ethernet ports supporting 4 computers, only 1 computer can have an internet connection at a time.
This manual has been prepared to give directions in configuring the B-FOCuS router and take the full of the device functionality. It describes the configuration procedures performed after installing the B-FOCuS router. The procedures described apply equally to the B-FOCuS Multiport 342+ and the B-FOCuS Wireless 352+ unless otherwise indicated. This manual is intended for use by skilled technicians with a solid understanding of Telecommunications.
ECI B-FOCuS DEVICE SPECIFICATIONS
The B-FOCuS router enables the connection of computers on by a local area network (LAN) to the Wide Area Network (WAN) via an ADSL dial-up network. The B-FOCuS router can be installed either as a bridge (in layer 2 of the Communication model) or as a router (in layer 3 of the Communication model). It contains an internal dialler, as well as additional services, such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Network Address Translation (NAT) and Firewall. The configuration software is burned into flash memory. You can modify it to your needs according to the type of local network, the type of telephony infrastructure, and agreements with telephony and Internet suppliers.
The B-FOCuS Multiport 342+ router has an internal ethernet hub with four ports. It can connect up to four computers to a common ADSL line. The ethernet port rates can be either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. The B-FOCuS Wireless 352+ is the optimal home networking solution, supporting both wireless and ethernet connections. Many professional users have home desktop computers for family use, and notebook computers for professional and remote use. This powerful router can support up to four desktop computers via the ethernet ports and several additional notebook and/or desktop computers via the wireless link. The wireless link is based on the latest 802.11g standard and can support bandwidth of up to 54 Mbps.
The following figure describes a typical connection of the B-FOCuS router (Network hub) to the LAN and the WAN. The router routes the traffic among these networks. (By definition, the IP address of each new router port of the LAN-side is 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These definitions can be modified as part of the configuration.)
GATHER CONNECTION DETAILS
ECI B-FOCuS Multiport 342+ / Wireless 352+ is currently configured to work simply as a modem, by bridging the connection to any of the 4 ethernet outlets that manages to establish a conenction.
Once the connection is established with the ISP, the ISP registers the ethernet MAC address that communicates with so that it will only communicate with that individual ethernet card only. Since the router support is disabled on the device the internal ethernet is not being used and therefore the ethernet card on the PC is registered. Therefore only one PC can have internet access at a time. To configure the device to work as a router, the IP registered to the computer’s ethernet MAC address must first be released, so that the router’s ethernet MAC address can take over the IP.
First of all you need to disconnect any ethernet CAT-5 cables attached to the device except the one that is currently connected to the computer that has internet connection, to avoid any other powered-on computers from establishing a connection with the ISP.
Prior to using the configuration software, the computer should be defined on the same subnet with the router.
Access to the definition windows differs somewhat for the various operating systems.
The procedure presented here refers to Windows XP.
To redefine the computers in the Local Area Network (LAN):
1. From the Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel > Network Connections. The Network Connections dialog box appears.
2. From the list of connections to networks, select the Network Interface Card you used for connecting the computer to the router’s eth0 port.
3. Click Status on the right-click menu. The Local Area Connection Status dialog box appears showing the General tab.
4. Select Support tab. The dialog box will look like the one below.
7. Then click Close button and return to the General tab. Don’t close Local Area Connection Status dialog box just yet as it will be needed later in the procedure at step 10.
RELEASE IP FROM CURRENT ETHERNET CARD
At this stage the computer’s ethernet MAC address must be released from the router, in order for the router’s internal ethernet MAC address to be registered.
8. From the Start menu, select Run. The Run dialog appears.
9. Type ipconfig /release in the Open field as shown in the dialog below and click OK. This will release the IP so that we can configure the router to takeover the IP.
CONFIGURE CONNECTION TO ACCESS ROUTER CONFIGURATION
To redefine the computers in the Local Area Network (LAN):
10. Return to the Local Area Connection Status dialog box
11. Select the General tab, click Properties. The Local Area Connection Properties dialog box appears.
12. Verify that the name of the Network Interface Card you used for connecting the computer to the router’s eth0 port appears in the Connect using field.
14. Select Use the following IP address. The 3 fields below will enable.
15. Define a unique IP address for the computer, in the same subnet where the router is defined (its format should be 192.168.1.n, where n is a unique integer from 2 to 255). In the Subnet mask field, enter 255.255.255.0. In the Default gateway field, enter 192.168.1.1 (the router’s IP address).
16. Click OK to save changes and close the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box.
17. Click OK to apply changes and close the Local Area Network Properties dialog box.
CONFIGURE ROUTER
Now the router configuration software is activated. To access the configuration software:
18. Open an internet browser, preferably Internet Explorer.
19. In the address line, enter the router’s IP address: http://192.168.1.1. A login dialog box appears.
This service is essential for the router functionality.
21. Select SETUP tab in the configuration page upper panel. Then select Firewall and NAT Service tab from the left panel.
22. Check Enable Firewall and NAT Service on the dialog that appears, and Apply changes.
25. Once the page reloads should look like the one below, make sure that NAT and Firewall options are checked. If IP Address, Mask, Gateway fields show N/A then click Renew.
(Note: If you are also registered for mivision service from CyTA, disable the “Firewall” option as it interferes with the service.)
CONFIGURE ROUTER LAN CONNECTION
WLAN in LAN group 2 is only available for B-FOCuS Wireless 352+
Optional configuration of inserting the wireless connections into the same LAN.
26. Select WLAN from the listbox under LAN group 2 and then press Remove button. WLAN will be moved to the left listbox under Interfaces. Select WLAN again and then press Add button in LAN group 1, to move the WLAN interface to the same LAN group. Finally Apply changes.
28. Select Enable DHCP Server option in order to manually configure the DHCP server.
29. Define a Start IP and End IP for the first and last IP addresses to assign when a computer connects. These should be in the same subnet where the router is defined (its format should be 192.168.1.n, where n is a unique integer from 2 to 255).
30. Uncheck Router as Domain Name Server to manually configure the DNS servers. Enter below in DNS 1 and DNS 2 the IP addresses retrieved from step 6)
31. Check Router as Default Gateway.
32. Leave all other fields as shown in the illustration above and Apply changes.
OPTIONAL – ENABLE UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of computer network protocols. The goals of UPnP are to allow devices to connect seamlessly and to simplify the implementation of networks in the home and corporate environments. UPnP achieves this by defining and publishing UPnP device control protocols built upon open, Internet-based communication standards.
The term UPnP is gleaned from Plug-and-Play, a technology for dynamically attaching devices to a computer directly.
Optional configuration of the UPnP functionality.
33. Check Enable UPNP to enable it.
34. Then make sure Connection1 is selected for WAN Connection field and LAN group 1 selected for LAN Connection field. Then Apply changes.
(Note: This option will add a “Local Area Connection on Linux IGD” icon under “Internet Gateway” in “Network Connections” in Control Panel. This is evidence that the UPnP service is active. You can hide the icon by clicking “Hide icons for networked UPnP devices” on the common tasks pane on the left. You can also check which ports the UnP device handles (opens/closes) at the discretion of local applications.)
OPTIONAL – LAN CLIENTS
Using this feature user can see all the PCs on the LAN segment. Each PC is qualified to be either “dynamic” (PC obtained a lease from this router) or “static” (PC has a manually configured IP address).
User can add a “static” IP address( belonging to the network segment of the router LAN IP address ). Any existing static entry falling within dhcp server’s range can be deleted and the IP address would be made available for future allocation.
Once an IP address is allocated it shows up in the list of LAN clients as a “dynamic” entry. Any dynamic entry can be converted into static by using “reserve” checkbox.
(Note: Dynamic clients show up in the list only when DHCP server is running. This function must be enabled after enabling router support and assigning your PC a local IP, so continue with the numbered steps and when your PC has a proper LAN IP come back to this step to enable Port Forwarding as well.)
Optional configuration of static LAN IP’s.
–. From the table below select the MAC addresses you want to Reserve a static LAN IP so you can reference easily in the network. This is a good feature to use with Port Forwarding as well.
–. Then Apply changes and you are done, Now the specific device will always get the same LAN IP.
OPTIONAL – PORT FORWARDING
Using the Port Forwarding page, you can provide local services (for example web hosting) for people on the Internet or play Internet games. To configure a service, game or other application select the external connection (for example the Internet connection), select the computer hosting the service and add the corresponding firewall rule. If you want to add a custom application, select the User category, click New and fill in the port, protocols and description for your application. You can also add/edit/delete rules without using the pre-defined Firewall Policy Database (games, services, etc.). Click on “Custom Rules” to access this type of interface. In the presence of the firewall, anonymous Internet traffic is blocked.
Optional configuration of Port Forwarding.
(Note: Instead of using UnP device to handle (open/close) ports at the discretion of local applications, you can set permanent rules for the opening ports per IP. This function must be enabled after enabling router support and assigning your PC a local IP, so continue with the numbered steps and when your PC has a proper LAN IP come back to this step to enable Port Forwarding as well.)
–. Make sure Connection1 is selected for WAN Connection field and LAN group 1 selected for LAN Connection field.
–. Select the correct LAN IP and a predefined rule from the list provided and press Add > to enable the rule.
–. For example if you select Apps, then Win2k Terminal you will notice that it opens the Windows Remote Assistance/Desktop ports.
–. Then Apply changes.
OPTIONAL – ENABLE ROUTER WIRELESS ACCESS POINT
The wireless access point functionality is only available for B-FOCuS Wireless 352+(Note: see step 26)
35. Select WIRELESS tab from the upper panel and Setup tab from the left panel. The Wireless Setup dialog box appears.
36. Check Enable AP and Apply changes
37. Select Security tab and Wireless Security dialog box appears
38. Select WPA option for the Wireless Security Level. Once the page reloads, select PSK String and enter a password not exceeding 63 characters. Finally Apply changes
SAVE ROUTER CONFIGURATION
At this stage the router configuration is completed. All the changes made have been applied for the current session only thou. The default configuration is hard-coded in the router firmware. This means that if the router is switched-off or restarted for any reason all changes are lost and need to be re-applied. Therefore it is recommended to permanently save the current configuration in order to prevent unexpected resets.
39. Select TOOLS tab from the upper panel and System Commands tab from the left panel. The System Commands dialog box will appear providing buttons for saving, restarting or restoring the router.
RESTORE INTERNET PROTOCOL (TCP/IP) PROPERTIES
The router is now completely configured …
All is left now is to restore, the computer’s Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) settings to automatic, because now everything is handled by the DHCP server of the Local Area Network (LAN).
40. From the Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel > Network Connections. The Network Connections dialog box appears.
41. From the list of connections to networks, select the Network Interface Card you used for connecting the computer to the router’s eth0 port.
42. Click Status on the right-click menu. The Local Area Connection Status dialog box appears showing the General tab.
43. At the General tab, click Properties. The Local Area Connection Properties dialog box appears.
44. Verify that the name of the Network Interface Card you used for connecting the computer to the router’s eth0 port appears in the Connect using field.
45. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click Properties. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box appears.
46. Select Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically as well.
47. Click OK to save changes and close the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box.
48. Click OK to apply changes and close the Local Area Network Properties dialog box.
SYSTEM CONNECTIVITY CHECK
Once step 48 has been performed, the connection will disconnect briefly and reconnect applying the new changes. Once the connection is established again, verify the connection connectivity status by returning to the Network Connection.
49. Repeat steps 1-4 to bring the dialog box below and verify that changes have been applied correctly.
ACCESS INTERNET
When the above procedure has been completed, the computer should be able to access the internet. If not then open the internet browser and type http://www.i-choice.com.cy or any other equivalent DSL provider address, in the address bar to access the DSL sign-in page.
50. Perform sign-in if the connection has been disconnected due to the changes made above.
HARDWARE RESET
In case you need to return to the default configurations and you cannot access the router via the configuration GUI, perform a hardware reset.
Note: Hardware reset should be performed only when absolutely necessary.
To perform hardware reset:
1. Disconnect the ADSL cable from the router.
2. Press the Reset button on the back panel of the router until the ADSL LED illuminates.
3. Wait until the router restarts.
4. Reconnect the ADSL cable to the router.

Thank you very much!
Great guide. I do not need to apply it for the moment as I have a separate wireless router connected to Cyta’s modem. Cool bookmark to have though.
I was wandering however if this is the answer to getting miVision on a PC using VLC. Has anyone out there achieved this?
@Lefteris: Port forwarding is beyond the scope of this guide. Such information is freely available at: http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/ECITelecom/BFocus-270pr/BFocus-270prindex.htm

PS : your manual GAMA!
Quick Note:
If you have manually damaged/changed the router firmware, there is nothing I can do. Can you post the firmware version here ?
One thing I can confirm though, is that Enable AP will not enable with Firefox browsers, so it strictly needs Internet Explorer (of course those are the only two browsers I have tried). Therefore try again with Internet Explorer.
One more thing is that Port Forwarding settings will be cleared once the router is restarted irrespective of whether the Save All settings button has been used previously. Therefore they need to be re-set.

Hello Ioanni. Thank’s for putting the guide up it is brilliant. However I now have a prioblem connecting tio the internet. The router gets its IP correctly, but I can’t connect to cytanet.
Also, the router does not respond to “AP Enable”.
Could you please mail me?
Best regards
Daniel
Great guide dude!
However i have one problem.
On step 25 my IP doesnt’t renew. I’m sure that previously i have released it correctly. I even had the people at CYTA to do it for me.
I’m stuck on step 25. Can you help me?
Hi .This is Sotiris.
I solved the problem with step 25.
but now the Lease obtaines and Lease expires is only 1 hour.
Is that a problem?
If so, how do i change it?
Dear Ioanni,
This is a hell of a great job. we need such brilliant minds at Cyprus. Thank you for sharing it with us and did not keep it for your self. if you ever need anything that i can help with i am at your disposal.
Thank you,

i have done everything you said and it works perfecetly, also the wireless which im most iinterset. Now i have a small problem becouse upstairs my wireless signal is kind of low and i would like to know how to use a wireless repeater. i have test a BT voyager wireless router setting it exactly as B-FOCUS is but it aint work. Do you know any wireless repeater for the B-FOCUS 352+ wireless???
Thank you,
George
Ioannis thank you for this excellent guide. I managed to connect to the router wirelessly however there is an issue when using both wirelless connection and mivision. It seems that the mivision connection to the router “eats up” all traffic and the wireless connection is extremely slow. If you disconnect the mivision device from the router then the wireless connection becomes very fast as it should be.
Any ideas?
Thank you and regards,
Andreas
Hi,
I followed your instructions to set up the my Router and everthing went ok. It is now set up as the DHCP and The wireless access has been enabled. I can connect to the device via wireless however I can only access the internet through the wired connection.
Any ideas? Help would be appreciated.
regards,
Will
For those who tried my port forwarding guide and had problems (http://panagiotis13.741.com/) it is because they have dynamic IP. So instead of inserting your external (public) IP, enter 0.0.0.0
It should work

I did something wrong and then pushed the reset default setting in the modem menu.
Now I cant connect to the modem!!!
I think I should reboot it in order to be able to connect again but I dont know how to.
I switched it off, pushed the reset button in the back…nothing.
Please help!!!
Thanks for the post, i have been trying to set up my router for a while now with no luck, will attempt this approach soon. BTW, ive been trying to convince CYTA to change my modem with the one that comes with wireless for some time now with no luck. Any ideas, it was even not working for some time and they just told me to get an electrican. they really seem not to want to give out those wireless ones, or is it just me. well any ideas would be welcome.
Great technical info, I had only just bought a new linksys wireless router and I couldn’t get it to work with Cyta’s modem and your advice worked a treat.
The section about specifying an IP address on the PC and then resetting it to automatic allowed the router, the modem and the pc to sort out their previously conflicting addresses.
Thank you for taking the time to post this information.

You can change the Lease time through the Setup, although it is not necessary.
On step 27 you can change the Lease time by changing the number of seconds for the Lease time.

Hi
I have noticed recently that i-choice has been negotiating an IPV6 Teledo tunnel connection – not sure why? Are they running out of 10.x.x.x private addresses to NAT?
Has anyone else noticed this?
Great board BTW…
As far as my knowledge goes, the i-choice service using the 10.x.x.x private NAT network address system, can facilitate a limited number of clients of roughly around 255³ (16,581,375 connections) including home, business and corporate clients.
The above rough number also contains some reserved addresses that should be deducted but the difference is negligible, as Cyprus total residents are less than a million and including an assumption that business and corporate clients usually require more than one connection per office.
To answer James’ question, I do not believe that Cyprus ISPs using CyTAs network have extinguished that limit.
It is a fact that IPv4 addresses are extinguishing from the market and IPv6 addresses are being negotiated at present. CyTA also being a web hosting service may (explicitly) require additional IPv6 addresses to satisfy client demand.
Or one thing that I have just thought, the NAT addresses are not extinguished but the external IPs that CyTA has registered may are… (each ADSL subscriber has a unique NAT IP and external IP) due to the increase in subscribers in recent months.

If you manage to login with any of the above, advise the manual to configure the router.
Please notify me if you manage a correct configuration, so we can prepare a configuration manual for that as well.
Hi Ioannis, Thanks for the info. Good work.
I have been trying to set up my Netgear router instead of changing the default settings on the B-FOCuS modem. I believe this should work OK but I am having problems.
I have set the username and password to that give by cytanet and also set it to use the fixed IP address that cytanet have provided.
The are a couple of other settings that I am not sure of.
For example:
Encapsulation = PPPoA or PPPoE ?
LLC-based or VC-based ?
VPI = ?? VCI = ??
Any suggestions welcomed.
Thanks.

This worked a treat on the CYTA router but then my amino mivision box only showed two channels CNN and would not connect propertly, tried all the default passwords for the amino box but nothing any ideas anyone?
To Jason
You’re saying that it worked a treat. Are you talking about Ioannis guide or the upgrade(?) of the 200/400PR model?
I don’t have the 270 or 400Pr model so i can’t help you with the upgrade procedure.
What do you mean you’ve tried all the default passwords for the amino box.
I wasn’t aware that thare are any. (are you referring to the family/administrator passwords that mivision gives to you?)
It is indeed weird that you only receive two channels.That means that you are connected to an ip. Just wait a couple of days or restart the amino box.
I aslo had problems with mivision after i followed Ioannis guide, but somehow i managed to solve them (Don’t know exactly how, look at posts 32 and 33).
Hi earthstill,
Yes Ioannis’ guide worked fine all I was trying to do was have the option of loggin on with either the workstation or my laptop wirelessly without having to release the ip every time.
The amino box if you hit alt and M during the loading screen it gives you a management password, some I have found are snake, snakes, leave, leaves but none of these work so perhaps CYTA changed the default.
What I was trying to get to was the setup and config of the amino box top see the config there and check things like portforwarding etc to see if it was getting to the right end IP address etc.
I reverted back to the original setup as supplied by CYTA, because I rebooted the amino box power off, disconnect lan etc to no avail. But as soon as I reset the settings on the router all the channels came back.
So any ideas how you overcame your problems on the Amino box would be good.
Thanks
Jason
To Jason
Wow!
I don’t use at all the keyboard for mivision. I think i will try it because you mentioned some interesting things about it (being able to see the settings…)
Actually posts 32 and 33 offer guidance for any mivision problems arising after the modem’s bypass, but they’re written in greek so i guess it’s no help fo you.
Basically mivision doesn’t work when either the firewall or the UPnP function is enabled.
In my case mivision worked fine after i followed Ioannis guide. About 3 weeks ago it stoped functioning. So i disabled the firewall option (Just tick the NAT box, leave the firewall box unchecked). After a few restarts, reboots and trying different compinations (UPnP on, firewall off/ UPnP off firewall off ….) i managed to get mivision back.
I believe you have the same problem. Just try it and tell me what happens.
Earthstill
(I know, stupid nickname)
Jason,
First, from what i gather, your issue is that thet Firewall is causing issues to mivision… This can be overcomed by unchecking the Firewall option in Connection 1. Reset the router and follow the guide again just remember to uncheck the Firewall option and do not enable UPnP.
Second, I haven’t considered of the Amino STB also having a setup interface, although that sould be expected
so I decided to do some research.
Anyway judging from the hour, 1:15am, and what i could gather, about the Amino box model AmiNET110 the model a friend has… I uploaded a manual which I guess is the one you found as well, regarding the setup configuration.
The default password to enter the management page is indeed
leaves. I don’t think that CyTA has changed the password, as it would also have changed it on the router as well.Anyway, I am very interested to see images of how CyTA configures the Amino boxes as well… There is always something to tweak
So if it is convenient of you to take some shots and share them, that would be great.
Not to forget, the links below…

Hello,
First I would like to say a big thank you to Ioannis for sharing this information, several months back I had also looked for a solution to ‘re-enabling’ the features on the eci devices.
I managed to find the posts Ioannis refers to and was able to log into the router/modem, but I was not able to get the wireless to work properly. Thanks to Ioannis persistance the router/modems can be ‘fully’ enabled
:)
It would be interesting to see if a solution can be found for the mivision problems people have been having.
All the best
Andrew
Ioannis – this is fantastic. Ive only just had ADSL for a couple of weeks after coming from the UK. I installed a Netgear ethernet router with seperate AP, as i was unable to find anything on the net that would get me “into” the ECI config, and as i have 6 devices in the home that need internet access i`m still using ECI as dedicated modem in standard config. At least, thanks to you, there is another option. It would be interesting to know what settings can be used if one decides to use an alternative router to the Cyta supplied item.
@ HeD (22nd August), the images in steps 25 & 27 should give you most of what you need : LLC , VPI = 8 VCI = 35 etc
Great info.
done all the router stuff and it works ok.
However, I have a program called dc++ (or direct connect ++ ) which requires port forwarding.
I tried the port forwarding option at the ECI menu but it says that the Lan client page must be setup but when I try to set that one up it always gives me an error, no matter what I input.
Help anyone?
Thanks.
Update:
I managed to do the port forwarding but it still doesn’t work!
I did all the options as in the panayiotis guide, but when I check to see if the port is open, it’s not.
Any suggestions?
Has anyone managed to run DC++ in active mode under any ISP in Cyprus?
It seems that Cyta did change the default password on Amino
I wanted to use the amino STB along with my own streaming server to play movies via VLC. Was hoping I would be able to enable the web browser via the administration screens. Anyone want to exchange STBs?
Anyway can someone tell me the channel configuration of LTV and Alpha?
The multicast ip address and port used.
Thanks
About Ltv and Alfa.
I was really surprised when i called cyta and told them i want to subscribe to Ltv and Alfa and i was told that it could be arranged in half an hour!!
No cyta technicians, no change of id card of the set top box..nothing.!!
I thought that they would sent me a new id card to insert into the S.t.b.
That means that all they do is change the set top box configuration. (after all they did tell me to reset it in half an hour)
This is very interesting!! Furthermore why did they bother changing the password for the S.t.b but not for the router?
I think Ltv and alfa might be the answer. I’m not a great authority on passwords but there must be a way of cracking it and get a hold of cyta’s settings.
Can anybody confirm the change of password? I don’t dare to reset my s.t.b because i had a lot of problems with mivsion and i don’t want to go back to that situation.
Erm is there a way to reset the STB?
If you have LTV and Alpha is easy to determine the Mutlicast Ip and Port.
You just need to packet sniffer such a ethereal to capture all incoming traffic.
If you have a router between the Cyta Modem and your PC then that router should allow mutlicast traffic passthrough in order for you to be able to sniff the packets.
Maybe i din’t make myslef clear when i wrote “reset the s.t.p”.
By reset i just mean unplugging the power cable ang plugging it back again.
I know that seems to be simple enough and will not cause any problems to anybody who tries it, but in my case i have trouble getting mivision to work properly.
Just wanted to let people know that CyTA has changed the default password for the B-Focus Multiport 400PR model.
The passwords are:
username: root
password: 1234
(Thanks to ioannis for suggesting the passwords)
I managed to enter into the setup for the 400PR but it looks more complicated (more options) than the 342+ and I wasn’t able to switch it from Bridge to Router.
If anyone ever figures it out, please share!!
All the best!
NicoS
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone is having the same problem. After following Ioannis guide, I was able to connect to the Bfocus 352+ wirelessly. However, when Mivision is connected on the Router, wireless connection is extremely slow. As soon as I disconnect the Mivision box from the router, the wireless connection speed is fine. Is there a setting that can adjust this behaviour?
Thank you all,
Andreas
Most likely the router wireless gets killed from the MiVission multicast streaming.
Most routers do not send the multicast stream on the wireless access point.
This one might. You can verify that using ethereal. Do a short packet sniff while connected with wireless and mivision is connected. if you see a lot of
udp traffic comming for multicast addresses then that is the problem.
Ioannis
Thanks for providing this information
I now have a working network with access to i-Choice.
The wireless networking was not so pain free, but now works fine while the PCs are in the main office. Unfortunately Cyprus concrete house have so much metalwork in the structure that it acts like a Faraday cage and so there is not much usable signal to allow networking around the house
The wireless security caused a few problems, as my laptop does not have WPA compatibility. I set it up as 128 bit WEP and found that while the router requires the password input in the form of digit pairs separated by spaces, the laptop adapter wanted the digit pairs without the spaces.
I also followed Panagiotis’s instructions on setting up port forwarding without any success (despite the amendment in his post number 18) but was able to make it work for my application (TribalWeb) by adding a rule to the user category – which requires far less user involvement.
A solution to the slow speed of wirelles communication when ivision is also running is to enabme multicast (Advanced>Multicast>Enable IGMP)
Let me know if this works (I’ll be away from home the next two weeks)
Hi,
Does somebody know how to configure it for remote access from web?
I’ve checked under Advanced Security settings the “Enable Remote Web” and also “Enable Incoming ICMP ping”, and I can ping now from remote, but HTTP from remote does not work.
Thanks
Hi all, been reading this link for a wile now and may i say well done and thanks to all who have contributed. Maybe someone out there may be able to help me. I followed Ioannis’s manual for the 352 wireless router and it worked first time. The problem I’m having is I cant get my laptop to connect to the internet. The wireless is working both ways and my laptop reads the router, do i have to do the same process as with the pc regarding changing i.p address.. I’m not very computer literate so a step by step would be greatly appreciated.. i’m running Windows 2000 pro on the laptop and XP pro on the pc if that makes any diference.. thanks
Hi,
I have spent hours trying to work this with the 400PR.
Does anyone have any clue on what the settings would be?
The GUI mode is so much different and so much more complex.
Also there is only eth0… what about the other ethXX… ??
Has anyone messed with this like i did? If you know how to make this work please let us know.
Thanks
Cyta has been upgrading its service during the past week. The upgrade will last till the end of September. Cyta’s subscribers have been notified about the upgrade and the possible actions that will have to do un order to reconnect to i-choice.
Also Cyta is changing the DNS servers. So i’m guessing that whoever used ioannis guide will have to do it all over again. This is Cyta’s new rervers:
I’m afraid i will have the same problem having mivision and router working together.
If anyone has some info about Cyta’s changes please share it with us.
They have 2 different ranges for 2 different DNS servers.
Thats kinda weird…
Im getting my upgrade tomorow. I’ll check out what settings will actually be different for me and post here.
I got my upgrade.
It seems you dont need to release anymore. If you reset your router and try it its like you released it. Well thats an improvement, you do not need to call them anymore for this crap!
As for the routing regarding the 400PR, still nothing even with the new settings.
Does this mean bye-bye static ip ?
Also one more question, is it external (WAN) a v4 or v6 ip, because i think that the upgrade is meant to migrate to the v6 environment.
The above statement is not to be taken for granted, it is just a flashing thought i had and has not been confirmed by any official authority.
Ioannis well done for your effort. I have followed your instructions and managed to connect my desktop and laptop with the internet via B-Focus wireless. Thanks a lot !
Maybe at some point you could add a few lines how to deal with the Cytanet upgrade.
Ioannis, do you mean your guide will not work anymore even if you go through
the guide after the upgrade?
Can’t we just change the dns addresses in your guide to the new ones provided by Cyta?
Your help is much needed. Can you look into it and post your remarks here?
I’m very grateful for your help so far (and depth of knowledge) and im sure you will do the same this time!!
Well, its still IPv4
No change in IPv6…….
They changed the entire Gateway im on and IP address.. Dns servers too… Thats the only change i noticed. Nothing else… I cant even say its improved in any way.. Just the *call to release* thing has been easily dealth with.
Ioannis contact me at my email if you have any other idea regarding the 400PR since i tryied what you told me and it didnt work. (I have sent you an email a few days ago please check it)
Thanks
It seems the 400PR is messy….
Changing the Settings to make it routable seems really hard.
The option to “renew” “release” is missing or its not needed ?!
I have emailed you ionnanis what i found out. Let me know what you think
It seems there is a problem with mivision.While you are doing the configuration it works fine.Even after restarting the router (mine is 352+) everything work fine. The Amino bos up to this time has not go an IP adress from the router. As soos as you restart the Amino box it get an Ip from the router DHCP sevrer and Mivision does not work anynore. Any ideas how to solve this. One way it is to disable the DHCP server on the router and provide all IP adresses manually. I did not tried it yet. I have to say thet i am using the new Cytanet platform.
Due to the cyta’s upgrade i rolled my router back to its original bridge mode.
I have two computers. Apparently when pc 1 is on i can not access the internet from pc 2 even though pc 1. I found out that you can resolve this by unplugging the cat cable from pc 1. The ip address conflict no longer exists.
I wonder if there is another way instead of this process of unplugging cables.
for instance is there a program that lets me cancel a computer’s connection to an ip with the cat cable still connected?
the ipconfig /release (2times) on a pc that has internet will make it release that specific shared IP, and then on the other pc that you want, you simple do a ipconfig /renew and that should give you the IP there.
But regarding people without mivision, the problem of configuring the 400PR still exists T_T
Thanks Chris.
I will try it and tell you what happens.
I’m sorry i can’t help you on your 400PR. I have the 352+ model.
You could call cyta and request an upgrade. I’ve been told that they will change your current model into the 352+.
Earthstill are you certain they can change it without charging you anything?
Because from what i know, the charge you for a replacement….
Let me know.
Iannis – this unofficial manual was just what I needed today when trying to set up wireless. Many thanks for figuring, writing and sharing it – it all worked – right up to phoning Cyta at the end for the release.
With regards – Mike Chislett
Ionnis and co – postscript to above – since it is Sat 30th – I must have had the Cyta upgrade already and Ionnis’ manual still worked. The release didn’t until I rang i-choice.
re post 69 – thugs – I wonder if the problem is simply the need to re-set the i-choice software by logging on to http://www.i-choice.com.cy and re-loggin on.
To Mike Chislett
What IP are you using? The old one that cyta was using before the upgrade or the new one?
Also what about the default gateway? Is it still 192.168.1.1?
To Chris.
Yoy are right about the charge for the replacement.Apparently they do charge for a replacement.
But my friend’s modem was malfunctioning and asked for a replacement and cyta gave him the upgraded one free of charge?
Yea,
The thing is, mine is not malfunctioning
We just trying to bruteforce it and make it work the way we want it to ^^
To Mike Chislett,
If you need release then i am almost sure that you dont have the upgrade.
Usually when u have a problem with IP u just turn off and back on the router and it works like a charm. The new i-choice platform doesnt need release, thats what the guy told me when i rang them for one…
Asking them to release ur IP is no longer available.

Hi,
Firstly, i would like to thank you for the very helpfull information about setting up the router.
I followed your instructions to set up the my Router and everthing went ok. It is now set up as the DHCP and The wireless access has been enabled. I can connect to the device via wireless however I can only access the internet through the wired connection.
Any ideas? Help would be appreciated.
regards,
Hi all,
Yiannis guide would work very nicely for people without an additional router. I believe that should be metioned when writting the guide. There is no need to enable DHCP on CYTA’s modem when you already have one on your router. I personally use a Linksys WRT54GL (Linux based) and flashed with DD-WRT firmware. I studied Yiannis guide and found no reason to do it. Unless Yiannis or anyone else can figure out how to make CYTA’s modem to unleash its powers, I have no need to make the changes. Please advice.

Hi, using the guide above, would it posible to not enable the router and only keep your modem as it is from cyta, however enable the wireless on it for B-FOCuS Wireless 352+ router, because last time i called, they were asking me if i had a router or not connected?

OK Back to the Aminet Amino 110 password protection.
Has anyone hacked the password yet, e.g. I have been reading that you can hyperterminal to it by connecting to the RJ45.
Any ideas as I think the only reason MiVision never works after the changes is because DHCP is setup on the STB itself!
Hi guys..! very interesting discussions you have. Unfortunately, most of these things, I can’t follow, as I am not so advanced. My problem is below, and i will be grateful for a lesson:
Let’s assume i don’t have a cytanet connection, but from another supplier. From the wall goes to the modem of the other supplier and from that modem using CAT-5 to my laptop. However, i do have a B-Focus 352+ that i want to use as a wireless router. How can it be? The B-focus connects to the modem of the other supplier or how? and how i get them all to work? It’s a puzzle for me, I will appreciate any good advice! Thanks.

Hello guys. I know this might not be the right forum but I really need help to see if my B-focus 400 has anything to do with a problem I face.
I am playing a multiplayer game (Battlefield 2) and although I have no problem getting in and playing, something is blocking some of the games other features. To be more specific, I cannot see or get my weapons unlocks or see my stats in-game. I tried a lot of things and my last two options are 1.logosnet proxy is blocking ports
2.B-focus 400 modem is doing that
I would like to know if this problem has to do with B-Focus or not so I can shorten my options. And if its yes, does anyone know a trick to solve this issue? Thanks for your time

chris your speed is shown in the home screen, on the router setup as shown in the picture after step 20. if you have mivision installed then it will show something like 288/4000… but the theoretical download speed for internet access will be the one you signed in the contract, 1024, 512 or 256 kbps.
By no means making the device into a router will make it slower unless more than one computers use the internet connection simultaneously… This means that on average, the speed on each computer will be 1/2, 1/3, etc, depending on the internet activity on each computer.
You can check the download speed on each computer by doing a speed test on:
Speed Test
you can compare the theoretical with actual.
Note that, even with one computer connected you rarely achieve 100% efficiency on download speeds (theoretical max 128kb/s, actual max 100kb/s) and never achieve 100% on upload speed. I usually get 80% of the theoretical upload speed (with adsl1000 and netrunner).
Do not use all the upload speed while downloading as this will cripple your downloads, uploading at 6kb/s (theoretical max 16kb/s, actual max 12kb/s) would be fine.
Regarding Wi-Fi connections, the quality of the connection (the average loss and corruption of packages) sent/received depend on the distance you are from the router (signal strength), and whether there are any physical obstacles between the receiver (you) and the router, like walls, furniture etc.

Hi…
Recently I noticed something strange on Cytanet… After they upgraded their external link to 1GB my download speed went up to 4MBits. Although I don’t mind that – I got curious about it. Did the above procedure and it turns out in my modem ADSL is configured to 4400 on the down-stream. However – after a while the the speed decreased to the normal 1MBit. Then again went up to 4Mbits… and so on and so on. This seems to be happening once a week for a couple of days…
Anyone else noticed this recently? I don’t have mivision. The speed was always 1Mbit for the last 1.5 years. Is this speed in the modem configured on my side or on the switch side?
Marcin i noticed that too, i have 512 kbps connection and mivision, i was downloading @ 460kbps, 4 mb more than my connection

Ioannis,
Thanx for the Info, works a treat or at least it did until recently when CYTA changed the DNS!
I changed my DNS settings and again things were fine until last weekend, CYTA would not let me log in so I reset the router to its default settings and tried again, once CYTA fixed the problem at their end! Now I can connect both my Laptop and Desktop using ethernet cables and access the internet from both at the same time. However, when I try the laptop wireless, it conects fine to the AP but will not access the internet, it keeps telling me that there is a DNS problem.
I also have an XBox 360 connected wirelessly to the router and that works fine. It would therefore appear to be the settings on the laptop, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanxs
Steve
Ioannis,
Please ignore my last post. I changed my AP security from WEP to WPA and everything is perfect now. Once again thanx for the information that you have provided. 4 items now all wirelessly connected to the internet

Hello, I am currently a student in England with an AOL connection of 8096/448. Do you know if I can use another modem with my I-Choice connection besides ECL and Thomson?
The AOL package came with the Thomson Speedtouch 585 and after changing it with a NETGEAR DG834G I threw the Thomson in the garbage! :p
I tried once to connect my NETGEAR with my I-Choice back in Cyprus with no success, and I would like to get rid of CYTA’s junk.
Excellent! Just visiting a friend in Cyprus and he had the 352+. Your guide worked like a dream…..
Thanks so much for this!

Any further developments on Aminet Amino 110 password protection.
Has anyone hacked the password yet, e.g. I have been reading that you can hyperterminal to it by connecting to the RJ45.
Any ideas as I think the only reason MiVision never works after the changes is because DHCP is setup on the STB itself!
If we can get the password for the set top box then you can customize and change settings etc.
Any ideas

Hi guys, has anyone here figured out if the rumors about the 4 mbit connections are true? no disrespect but it all sounds like bull* to me. Is there anyone who actually has this working? if so could that person post the settings his modem has so we can compare them to the settings of others?

Hi ioannis,
I followed your guild, but after doing stage 15 my internet stopped working, and I couldn’t enter the configuration by typing http://192.168.1.1. After clicking “obtain an IP address automatically”, the internet started working again. What should I do?
[quote comment="374"]Hi ioannis,

Well yes,
Router IPs typically end in .1 or .254. The most common home router IP is 192.168.1.1.
Depending on the router brand, firmware and manufacturer your router’s access IP may be any in the sample list below:
192.168.0.1
192.168.1.1
192.168.2.1
192.168.1.254
192.168.10.254
etc….
I have seen other router guides that use:
10.0.0.138 (Default Gateway should be set at 10.0.0.138 at step 15)
Depending on your router’s IP you should customise the “IP Address” you input at step 15.
You should always use the router’s IP with a unique final digit. (eg 192.168.0.101).

First thanks for all the help I’ve gotten from this site before now.
Maybe someone out there can help me with this:
I have a Business Lite dsl connection with a Static Public IP address via the B-Focus 352+ modem and a small network connected to the modem using a Linksys router. The Linksys router’s LAN side IP is 192.168.1.1 so I get the Linksys Config page when I type that into a browser. The B-Focus is still set to CYTA’s original config. as I didn’t need to access any of the advanced router features (until now!) and apparently it also uses 192.168.1.1 . Is it possible to access the B-Focus config. page without disconnecting the Linksys or changing it’s LAN side IP ?
I really need to get my head round what is going on here; i.e. the whole configuration from phone socket to pc. I am planning to experiment with multiple dsl connections and I stand a better chance of optimising speed and performance if I have half a clue of what’s actaully going on inside the boxes instead of just punching in different numbers ’til I get it working as I normally do.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
I have the same primetel and i can not manage the device !!
God damn it !!
Hi! First of all thank you Ioannis, your guide is great and unique on the net!
I have one question…
After several failed attempts to install wireless internet access at my house, I recently got a B-FOCuS 352+ wireless modem from a friend, but the problem is it doesn’t sync at all…It doesn’t seem to react when I plug it in the ADSL line, I have no idea why… I went through the whole procedure described here in the guide and I have enabled wireless and router functions but the sync problem remains.. If anyone can help please let me know, thank you!

Ioannis I have a question for you…I have unlocked fully the b-focus 352+ but I have one problem…as i’m trying to tranfer files from windows xp sharing from one to pc to another (connected both in the 352+) network places crashes and when I close the non responding window through task manager network places can’t open it again – it just don’t opens and I have to restart both pc’s to transfer files through sharing again! Any ideas? I have tried lot’s of things including opening the ports for the File and Printer sharing I have found in the windows firewall’s exception tab thinking that is a must for the sharing to work properly , I have restarted the gateway many times and I ensuared that with other router/modem I own the sharing work properly (my xp setting must be ok i guess to get it work). I heard from someone that the 352+ device has limited sharing or something! Any ideas? I have fully utilized the device including internet sharing in the 4 ports and wirelessly , opening ports ,upnp and file sharing except for the bug I have described above…I only get one or two file transfers from pc to pc and I have to restart the pc’s to work again with sharing…Thx for your patience…If anyone has the same problem plz post it

It’s possible each of Primetel’s modem/router has its own password for accessing the admin console (a password list or hash function would be needed to generate password from some other id). Also it is possible that the router will only allow admin access from a specific IP address, probably one prime tel has set to allow remote config from their side. This allows them to do some remote configuration if needed. The only disadvantage is someone may be able to hack into your router. All this is speculation, i have no inside info.

You don’t need any password to open the ports for primetels modem.
I called them on 133 and they told me that ports 1025 until 60000 are open and forwarded to the ip 192.168.2.10.
So you only need to set this ip on your pc and use on of this ports.
You can also ask them to open the rest of the ports if you need them.
Okay my friend…if all these ports are open how I can feel secure on my pc? Please explain
Anyone got the username and password for Primetel modem yet?!?!
Your pc will be secured because anyway you will need to assign this ports to an application.
I use two ports, one on my vnc server to access my pc remotely and one on my utorrent.
Hi to all of you,
Great and extremely helpfull site !!
My question is a bit different than the rest, can this modem function in a complete transparent mode, meaning that the publip IP will directly be allocated to the internal firewall behind the modem?
Because maybe some of us cannot afford to have a business connection to our home …
I am looking forward to some wise words !!
Hi Ioannis very good guide i am thinking of trying it but is this legal, i meen if cyta finds out that you unlocked their modem what will happend?
Paidia,
prospatho na anoi3o to wireless kai den kanei tpt.
Patw to APPLY kai den ginetai tpt.

Dear chris,
Is you modem B-Focus 352+ ??
If yes then you should try doing the same thing in Internet Explorer and not in Firefox for some reason that page dosn’t work in Firefox.
