Telsey CPA-ZNTE60T

This device is NOT RECOMMENDED for future use with OpenWrt due to low flash/ram.
DO NOT BUY DEVICES WITH 4MB FLASH / 32MB RAM if you intend to flash an up-to-date and secure OpenWrt version (18.06 or later) onto it! See 4/32 warning for details.

1) This device does not have sufficient resources (flash and/or RAM) to provide secure and reliable operation.
This means that even setting a password or changing simple network settings might not be possible any more, rendering the device effectively useless. See OpenWrt on 4/32 devices what you can do now.

2) OpenWrt support for this device will end after 2019.
19.07 will be the last official build for 4/32 devices. After 19.07, no further OpenWrt images will be built for 4/32 devices. See OpenWrt on 4/32 devices what you can do now.

DSL will not work at all on devices with BCM63xx DSL chipset (due to unavailability of FLOSS driver for Broadcom chips). Consider this when choosing a device to buy, or when deciding to flash OpenWrt on your device because it is listed as supported.
See Broadcom DSL, Unsupported: DSL modem and Broadcom BCM63xx for details.

ADSL Wireless Voice Gateway, series CPVA642. Some Fastweb HAGs (italian broadband provider) have this hardware.

→ Install OpenWrt (generic explanation)

Initial installation can be done from the stock firmware web interface, or from the CFE web interface. Unfortunately installation via TFTP seems to have been disabled for this device.

One important note is that the CPVA642 models have a dual image setup. That means if an image fails to boot, the system will fall back to the other image installed, for the stock firmware. We don't actually want this, because it means that if you flash via the CFE web interface when there is already a good image, the image will not be written to the start of flash but to a point 4MB from the start (i.e. as if there were two 4MB images). This confuses OpenWrt.

That means if you have a successfully flash image and you want to flash via the CFE web interface, you need to erase everthing except the bootloader first.

Serial port is marked in the picture: on the right of the switch chip BCM5325 find two soldered holes enclosed in squares. The left one, above R707 is Receive data, the right above R706 is Transmit. Level 3V. Gnd is the hole near c809, +3Vcc is the hole near C313

How to connect to JTAG interface, and how to reflash the device with JTAG tools

See port.jtag for more JTAG details.

If you forgot your password, broken one of the startup scripts, firewalled yourself or corrupted the JFFS2 partition, you can get back in by using OpenWrt's failsafe mode.

Boot into failsafe mode

Unplug the router's power cord.
Connect the router's LAN1 port directly to your PC.
Configure your PC with a static IP address between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254. E. g. 192.168.1.2 (gateway and DNS is not required).
Plug the power in. The Power LED will light up
Wait for the Power LED to start flashing
As soon as the Power LED is flashing immediately press Reset and a few times .
If done right the Power LED will quickly flash 3 times every second.
You should be able to telnet to the router at 192.168.1.1 now (no username and password)

What to do in failsafe mode?

NOTE: The root file system in failsafe mode is the SquashFS partition mounted in readonly mode. To switch to the normal writable root file system run mount_root and make any changes. Run mount_root now.

Forgot/lost your password and you like to set a new one

passwd

Forgot the routers IP address

uci get network.lan.ipaddr

You accidentally run 'ipkg upgrade' or filled up the flash by installing to big packages (clean the JFFS2 partition and start over)

mtd -r erase rootfs_data If you are done with failsafe mode power cycle the router and boot in normal mode.

The CPA has two buttons. They are Reset and Wireless Setup. The buttons can be used with hotplug events. E. g. [#wifitoggle WiFi toggle].
