Hello everyone

I just received the FB and put it into operation. (honestly, it took 5 minutes according to the peoplefone instructions)

So far it’s working as it should. (incl. SCTV 2 boxes, internet and analog telephone)

Sorry, I have VDSL/analog at home.

I’ll test ADSL/ISDN in the store tomorrow if I find time. See if I can get it there too.

….. Can someone clearly confirm (including a description of the detailed settings!) that their A-CH box (or D, but that can’t be the case because only Annex B) is connected to an analogue Anschluss directly with a Swisscom DSLAM communicated properly??

Greetings Herby

@Herby: I’m curious to see whether VDSL and ISDN are available in your business. I don’t think so, because that’s where the problem lies. I work in the IT industry and have direct contact with AVM. I have now contacted them and sent the support file. This is a txt generated file that contains all the FB data. This is now being analyzed and I am getting feedback again. So keep the community updated.

Best regards

@garomesi: I have ADSL/ISDN in the shop. I’ll try it today when I have time.

Greetings Herby

So, there is a connection. It’s just a DSL start (because not that much is needed), but it shouldn’t play any role for the test purpose.

S-Bus via FB also works. I haven’t tested analogue anymore.

Greetings Herby

Thanks Herby

We now know that 75% of the possible variants can be successfully activated. Only the combination of VDSL on ISDN causes difficulties.

YES, I see it that way at the moment.

A thought just occurred to me: Maybe I would still have an opportunity to test it under VDSL/ISDN. I recently installed SCTV with ISDN for a customer. I’ll call him and ask if he’s happy, otherwise I might have something nice for him:smileywink:

Good to know that the FB7390D runs on VDSL/ISDN. I assume thanks to newer firmware. Then the discussion is unnecessary until there is one for the CH box.

@mynameisthase: How do you know that 25% of the users of the FB7390 have a VDSL/ISDN Anschluss?:smileywink:

Good night…..

Well, that’s little consolation for me too. Even if it probably affects less than 10% of 7390 users, since not everyone has an ISDN Anschluss. I don’t know the market shares either, but since it affects me, it really bothers me, especially since I’ve been waiting eagerly for this part for over 2 years, and with the 7570 it worked on all connections, I felt like a little child I was happy in front of the X-Max-Tree when I knew that the package had arrived home.

And then such a sh…

Well, let’s see how the AVM maneuvers its way out of this:

So, based on analyzes (including yours), we were able to narrow down the problem.

I can currently provide you with an instant solution. do not offer - further tests must first confirm the result and the corresponding change.

As soon as the solution is available (this will result in a new firmware), this firmware can be downloaded.

I would like to apologize to you for the circumstances on behalf of the AVM and ask you for a little patience - the solution is almost here.

Whatever FAST means?……chz-chz-chz-chz……

Just to give some quick feedback…

A few days ago I received complete instructions from AVM support on how to create support files (if anyone is interested in the details [here](http://www.ip-phone-forum.de/showpost.php?p =1614206&postcount=43) a link). I struggled with it for a few hours and gave it up after the 3rd hour and the 5th attempt regarding the DSL diagnostic data… It just didn’t want to work: The dsldata.dsl file kept only containing “cat : can’t open ‘/var/dsl/diagnose/*’: No such file or directory”

Has anyone else tried this creation? Did it work for you (CH-A FB 7390 with only “outdated” firmware 83)?

Since I don’t receive any notifications of new posts with this forum software (and I always have problems posting myself), I just stopped by again today. Everything has now been confirmed as I (unfortunately) suspected from the beginning… 😞

What dismays me is how AVM is proceeding. Grrrrr… First of all, it’s only been 9 months since they finally release a box for the Swiss market and then it doesn’t even work for VDSL(2) Annex B even though the German box is apparently already running with the newer f/w 86. Secondly, the AVM support department communicates pretty much nothing and forces users (like me) to test the whole thing even though they are already well informed that it doesn’t work. And I’m not talking about the hours of zero exercises I did to try to install the latest firmware version on the CH-A-FB. There is not a word on the AVM website about the fact that the latest firmware does not work for this model!:smileymad::smileymad: And last but not least, I could also mention that I asked AVM specifically and in detail BEFORE purchasing whether VDSL (2) would work with Annex B here. The answer was YES. So my first experiences with Fritz material were excellent…

Then a quick technical note: It looks like the VDSL2-ISDN (Annex B) runs with PPPoA encapsulation (apparently not like Annex A). I wonder if there are additional options available in the access settings in the new 86 f/w, i.e. the possibility of specifying an account + password AND PPPoA (LLC, I suspect). With the old f/w 83 it’s just not possible (at least in the GUI.) Can someone answer or, even better, post a screenshot of the relevant settings?! 🙂

It still occurs to me that you can’t choose between DHCP (WAN side) or fixed IP AND account + password. Is it different in the new f/w? (NB: It definitely doesn’t matter whether DHCP is used in the LAN or not.)

Like the others, I’m now waiting for the new f/w… 😕

The 7390 also causes problems in Germany (only Annex B!):

greetings, o.s.t.

@mynameisthase

Thank you for the screenshots!! 🙂

So in fact there are no GUI differences at all in this area between the f/w.83 and .86.

Now I’m just wondering whether you have selected the option ‘Access data is required’ or the other option ‘Access data is NOT required’ for the VDSL(2) over ISDN connection that works with your box (D-FB Annex B)? I suspect with credentials and PPPoA/LLC. Correctly?

>>… the box with PPPoE does not receive the IP (whether it is fixed or not) through your input, but rather through the provider during the registration process. So if you log in with an account and password and have “purchased” a fixed IP, then the box will receive this when you log in.<<

As far as I know, the principle also works on the WAN side (DSL) in exactly the same way as on the LAN, i.e. either you enter a specific (fixed) IP yourself or you have it obtained from a DHCP server. Of course, under certain circumstances the server can assign the same one over and over again, but this is rather an exception (like with Swisscom).

>>With Swisscom you configure according to the Peoplephone sheet anyway, then you don’t have these problems at all…<<

The option WITHOUT access data is selected there, which is NOT possible with VDSL (and ADSL) at Swisscom because the access data is absolutely necessary. Or have I completely misunderstood something?!?…

Yes, let’s wait and see (what else is there to do other than swap the CH-A-FB for a D)… 🙂

Thanks

Hello everyone

I have a quick question: I use the Swisscom product Infinity (analog). I don’t have BluewinTV and won’t have one either. Can I easily operate an FB 7390 CH version on this Anschluss instead of the Swisscom device? I’m assuming Infinity is VDSL and not ADSL, right?

Thank you very much for your help.

It seems that the FB7390CH runs without any problems on a Swisscom analog VDSL Anschluss. It doesn’t matter whether with or without Swisscom TV.

In the early days of Infinity it was partly connected with ADSL, but for about 2 years I have only known of switched VDSL connections with Infinity

greetings, o.s.t.

YES, it runs without any problems. Whether VDSL or ADSL analogue. Simply configure according to Peoplefone instructions. The instructions/settings are for the 7570, but that doesn’t matter, they are the same.

Have fun with the part.

Greetings Herby

So…. after I had the same problems with the FB7390 with ISDN and Infinity and went through all the suffering steps like everyone else, now the suffering is over…..:smileyvery-happy:

I received a beta version from AVM today so that I can test the DSL-Anschluss better…

Firmware installed and see:
