Q: How to backup settings for SPA5x5 phones via Browser?
A: Backup. You can extract the config by going to http://<phone_ip_addr>/admin/spacfg.xml and saving that to a file.

Q: How to restore settings for SPA5x5 phones via Browser?
A: To push the config back to the phone (you need a tftp server or other service to host the config. Personally, I use solarwinds free tftp server):
Through the web ui: http://<phone_ip_addr>/admin/resync?tftp://<tftp_server_ip>/<path_to_config>/config.txt
You can use the phone itself:  Phone setup button -> profile rule -> resync -> enter path to tftp server here
For different phones, you’ll need to change the device mac address, or you can use $MA instead. You shouldn’t need to make any modifications for the same phone.

Raspberry Pi and the Serial Port

source: http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/raspberry-pi-serial-port By default the Raspberry Pi’s serial port is configured to be used for console input/output. Whilst this is useful if you want to login using the serial port, it means you can’t use the Serial Port in your programs. To be able to use the serial port to connect and talk to other devices (e.g. Arduino), the serial port console login needs to be disabled. Needless to say you will need some other way to login to the Raspberry Pi, and we suggest doing this over the network using an SSH connection. Disable Serial Port Login To enable the serial port for your own use you need to disable login on the port. There are two files that need to be edited The first and main one is /etc/inittab This file has the command to enable the login prompt and this needs to be disabled. Edit the file and move to the end of the file. You will see a line similar to T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyAMA0 115200 vt100 Disable it by adding a # character to the beginning. Save the file. #T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyAMA0 115200 vt100 Disable Bootup Info When the Raspberry Pi boots up, all the bootup information is sent to the serial port. Disabling this bootup information is optional and you may want to leave this enabled as it is sometimes useful to see what is happening at bootup. If you have a device connected (i.e. Arduino) at bootup, it will receive this information over the serial port, so it is up to you to decide whether this is a problem or not. You can disable it by editing the file /boot/cmdline.txt The contents of the file look like this dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait Remove all references to ttyAMA0 (which is the name of the serial port). The file will now look like this dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait Reboot In order you enable the changes you have made, you will need to reboot the Raspberry Pi sudo shutdown -r now Test the Serial Port A great way to test out the serial port is to use the minicom program. If you dont have this installed run sudo apt-get install minicom Connect your PC to the Raspberry Pi serial port using an appropriate serial port adapter and wiring, then open Putty or a similar serial terminal program on PC side. Setup a connection using the serial port at 9600 baud. Now run up minicom on the Raspberry Pi using minicom -b 9600 -o -D /dev/ttyAMA0 What you type into the minicom terminal screen should appear on the serial PC terminal and vice versa.

Feature Microsoft Update, Chkdsk spreading like a virus

Posted on 2013/04/16 by arno Posted in Uncategorized

After processing the updates from yesterdays (4/9/2013) update Tuesday all of my machines now run Check Disc at every boot.

http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/324874-chkdsk-spreading-like-a-virus

http://social.technet.microsoft.com – [KB2839011]- folowup

KB2823324 is causing the issue.  We run all Dells, mostly Latitudes.  I’m not sure its going to effect other machines, but I cant imagine why it wouldn’t.

For those who need a quick result you can run this on the PC affected

wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2823324 /quiet /norestart

OR remotely use

Psexec -d -s \\remotemachine wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2823324 /quiet /norestart

Remeha is a USB connector with built-in FTDI chip. This cable can be very handy – if you don’t need Ethernet or don’t like soldering, this will probably be the easiest/best/quickest option for you.

The wireing is a 4p4c (RJ14) modular_connector:

In the photo the wireing is as follows:

Links – BIOS

Posted on 2012/09/19 by arno Posted in Links

Power Management

PCI Express – Active State Power Management (ASPM)

We have one project in progress for the PCI Express subsystem, PCI Express (PCIe) Active State Power Management. Our goal with this project is to allow you to select PCIe ASPM dynamically, based on your changing power versus performance preference.

PCIe ASPM technology allows PCIe hardware to transition the link to lower power states. The link is the physical interface between the PCI endpoint and the PCI switch. When ASPM is enabled, we can reduce power consumption even when the devices are in a fully powered on state (D0). This technology is specified in the PCI Express Specification, which is available to PCI SIG members. A white paper about this technology can be found here.

While ASPM can be enabled by the BIOS, it is often enabled only for mobile systems because the latency to transition from lower to fully powered state can cause a drop in performance. However, depending on the administrator’s power policy, the OS should be able to switch this feature on or off at will, depending on whether the administrator wants to favor power over performance or vice versa.

Advanced

Intel – Trusted Execution Technology (TXT)

Malware Protection with Intel® TXT

Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) is a hardware security solution that protects IT infrastructures against software-based attacks by validating the behavior of key components within a server or PC at startup.

Using an infrastructure based in the Intel processor and known as the “root of trust,” Intel® TXT checks the consistency in behaviors and launch-time configurations against a verified benchmark called a “known good” sequence. The system can then quickly assess and alert against any attempts to alter or tamper with a system’s launch-time environment.
