Modem BBox-2

Description & versions

This is the default modem coming with Belgacom internet solutions in Belgium.
It allows SIP and IPTV.

It's a Sagem F@st 3464 (even if the box looks different), running a customized version of Jungo Openrg.

# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.15 #66 Fri Apr 9 17:18:12 CEST 2010

Automatic firmware upgrades:

• VLAN20 (Wan eth1.20 VoIP) must be activated (they use port 8085? for tr69)
• tr98 process must be running

I could never get their firmware upgrades transparently, I had to reset the box to get them

Some versions:

• 6001GR-6000GR old
• 60I118-60I918 24-Dec-09 11:47:40
• 60I11U-60I01U 26-Jan-10 12:31:27
• 60R109-60A022 09-Apr-10 17:13:27 (to allow the 17Mhz profile for 30 Mbps?)

Exploration

A number of services & ports are available:

web interface

You can reach it via any of those addresses:

• http://192.168.1.1
• http://192.168.1.1:8080
• https://192.168.1.1
• https://192.168.1.1:8443

HTTPS offers a OpenRG SSL certificate, to be explicitly accepted by your browser to go further...

Admin settings menu:
If you're logging as admin rather than user as default, you'll get an extra menu:

• http://192.168.1.1/index.cgi?user_name=admin&password=BGCVDSL2

This allows to save and restore the whole configuration and to upload new firmwares, if any.
Once you get a dump of the configuration you can try manipulating it, there is a guide here(pdf) or here(pdf), or better, use telnet and rg_conf commands (help rg_conf)

Other pages might be accessible, cf this thread (french) or this page (french) for the LiveBox.

For the BBox2, here is a list of pages which work properly, inspired from here

memory sharing

Apparently you may connect a USB harddrive to the BBox-2 and share its content as with a NAS.
-> /mnt/usb internally A webserver (lighttpd) would then expose the content via:

• http://192.168.1.1:8888

Or if via the admin menu, you enable memory sharing, we get the same via a WAN (accessible outside too!) https:

• https://192.168.1.1:631

HTTPS offers a Sagem certificate

telnet

If you wish to use telnet to view and edit the router settings, then you can use a dedicated tool in Java by Waterflames, available here.
This tool provides an easy GUI over rg_conf_print/rg_conf_set calls to login to the router and view and edit the settings.

• telnet on 192.168.1.1 port 23 and port 8023
• telnet SSL on port 992
• login admin password BGCVDSL2 or for recent fw, ther serial number of your box: LK... .
• (TODO: try user/user)

If you type the command "shell" you'll get a shell prompt and a busybox environment ;-)

Trying to change the theme (this didn't bring extra menu, to the contrary)

[admin @ home]$ rg_conf_print wbm/theme     
(theme(Sagem))
[admin @ home]$ rg_conf_set wbm/theme OpenRG
[admin @ home]$ rg_conf_print wbm/theme

To revert:

[admin @ home]$ rg_conf_set wbm/theme Sagem

To learn the commands to manipulate the configuration, see here (french)

others

• 2555/tcp open UPnP Internet Gateway Device implementing some serious commands such as GetPassword ...
• 7020/tcp open Apparently for Incoming Jnet (Jungo.net) requests for Remote Upgrade Server (see here
• 7021/tcp open Same, in SSL
• 8085/tcp open unknown gSOAP_Web_Service???

The modem is also running a TR-069 process:

• TR-069 TR-069 is a WAN management protocol intended for communication between Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) and an Auto-Configuration Server (ACS). It defines a mechanism that encompasses secure auto configuration of a CPE, and also incorporates other CPE management functions into a common framework.
• it's supposed to poll an ACS server on port 7547

and a TR-098 process, referring to the Internet Gateway Device data model

accessible from WAN

• pings seem to be blocked
• TCP port 631 (if ?)
• TCP port 2555 (openrg)
• TCP port 7020 (openrg)
• TCP port 7021 (openrg)
• TCP port 8085 (tr69)
• TCP port 8888 (lighttpd)
• UDP port 1024 (openrg)
• UDP port 1025 (hostapd)
• UDP port 3000 (openrg, vdsld...)
• RAW port 2 (openrg)

ss

Easier to get direct;y the info from the box: there is no netstat but ss does the job:

UPnP

By default the modem has a UPnP IGD profile and I don't see how to disable it.
EDIT: actually it's possible by logging first as admin then entering the pseudo-URL "javascript:mimic_button('goto: 900..')"
If you use Skype this means Skype will tell the modem to open some ports and Skype will be reachable directly from Internet which means you become a relay-node and this can generate a lot of traffic!
One way to avoid it is to locally block the UPnP discovery multicast packets of Skype, e.g.:

iptables -A OUTPUT -d 239.255.255.250 -p udp -m string --algo bm --string "urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:WAN" -j DROP

By filtering on that string this allows other applications to send their M-SEARCH packet if they don't look for services:WANIP/WANPPP...
One can install that netfilter rule on Debian by following this howto

If you are using Windows, you can disable UPnP directly in Skype from version 4.0

Wi-Fi

I had stability problems when trying to communicate between two wireless clients while wireless to wired or vice versa was working properly.
I forced the access point to mode 802.11g only and since then it works much better:
telnet to the box then:

rg_conf_set dev/eth2/wl_ap/wl_dot11_mode "g_only"

Getting greener?

From here: I also chose to shut down the tr98 service as anyway fw upgrades went never properly for me and tr98 process is eating all available CPU (see "top").

killall tr98

IPs attribution by DHCP

Just a short note because it's so well hidden in the configuration that I never find it back...

• Advanced Settings/Network Interfaces/LAN Bridge/IP Address Distribution/Connection List

You can create a new static entry or change an existing dynamic entry into a static one then edit it.
Better to allocate static entries out of the dynamic DHCP pool, which you can constrain via

• Advanced Settings/Network Interfaces/LAN Bridge/IP Address Distribution/LAN Bridge

What is stupid is that names given there are not reflected by the DNS server

To get access to the hotspot page if it doesn't appear in the side bar:

Got to 192.168.1.1 then enter URL:
javascript:mimic_button('sidebar:%20lb_sidebar_advanced_hotspot..',%200)

Note that to work I had to enable in about:config of Firefox:

noscript.allowURLBarJS = true

Mine says

Hotspot:	Disabled

probably because I'm still with a 16/2 connection
Note that actual firmware is 60R10A-60A05G
Edit: now it's activated with SSID FON_BELGACOM

• Belgacon-fon IDs work fine on Fonera boxes
• Belgacom-fon IDs fail on Fon website
• Belgacom-fon app work fine on Fonera boxes (so any FON_* ssid)
• Belgacom-fon app fails on Belgacom-fon BBoxes
• Manual usage of Belgacon-fon IDs work fine on Belgacom-fon BBox portal
• There is another Fon application on the Market. Seems the Belgacom one is just a rebranding. Original app seems banned in Belgium, here is a link to the apk
