The Speedstream 4200 comes with a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) WAN Management Protocol (CWMP) agent enabled (at least in the Optus firmware version of the router). This agent periodically attempts to connect to an ISP server which can remotely configure the router to your ISP's desire. You may have seen an entry in your system log or syslog similar to the following one which indicates that it is active:
2008-08-17 00:18:01 E | CWMP |CWMP agent cannot reach the ACS named acs.optusnet.com.au:1111/ACS-INTF. Retry in 10 seconds
Here's how to disable it so it won't, among other thngs, clog your log file with entries:
Telnet to the router to access its command line interface. The agent cannot be disabled using the router's graphical web interface.
At the login prompt, log in as admin (password may be blank or "admin").
At the xsh> prompt type:
cfg cwmp{en=n
cfg cwmp{fint=n
Check the entry by typing cfg cwmp. You should see something like this:
cwmp en = n fint = n
Now save the settings by typing: cfg save.
