@Leftfoot: If I remember correctly Nutz did have routerstats running on his Telkom 5102G when he introduced the program to myADSL. I did manage to get it running on my 7300G after viewing some of his graphs. This is what I did but if you are still having problems I'm sure that Nutz will be able to advise you further. Post again if you are still having problems.
You first need to find the correct screen in the router which contains the downstream and upstream noise margins i.e. the page that gives you figures like the linespeed and attenuation etc. In the case of the 7300G the menu selection is Config -> Wan -> ADSL. After opening up this page, right click the mouse and choose properties. This should give you the correct page address for routerstats i.e. in the case of the 7300G it should be
http://192.168.1.254/adsl.asp . This information together with the IP address of your router should be all that you need to get it working. In your case the IP address is probably not 192.168.1.254.
Now open up routerstats. Choose the toothed wheel icon - Routerstats configuration. Fill in the correct URL to router 'stats' page i.e. in my case
http://192.168.1.254/adsl.asp . Fill in the correct router username and password - in my case admin and admin. Make sure that the remember password box is checked. Now open the Router search text tab. Check the box Use source and then press the Get Page button. If you have done everything correctly you should get a page of source code which you can look through carefully to find the downstream noise margin value. You are nearly done. Follow the routerstats instructions carefully on how to 'train' routerstats to record this value. If you have trained it correctly but you are not seeing any trace on the plot after a few minutes your noise margin may be out of range - just check to be sure and change the graph axis limits if necessary.
Another thing you might also be interested in is the bits per tone information from your router. From Internet Explorer type
telnet://192.168.1.254 (use the IP address of your router). Enter your username and password as above. Type the command wan adsl linedata far OR wan adsl linedataf1. One of those commands should give you a matrix of tone data which you can then plot out in MS Excel.
Now just copy and paste the tone data into notepad. You only need the lines from tone 0-31: onwards. Using the editor just remove all the text including the : i.e. tone 0-31: tone 32-63: etc. so that you just have a matrix of numbers i.e 16 columns with 8 rows. In notepad just join row 2 onto the end of row 1. Repeat until you have joined all the rows in order into one long row. Make sure that you don't put any of the rows in the wrong order i.e. the single row must look like this row1 row2 row3 row4 row5 row6 row7 row8. Now put spaces between all of the pairs i.e. 00 00 00 00 24 -> 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 4 etc.
You should now have a single row that looks like this -
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 4 5 5 6 6 6 7 7 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 5 5 5 5 5 3 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 2 2 3 2 2 3 3 3 4 3 3 5 6 6 6 6 6 5 5 6 6 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 4 5 5 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 3 3 0 0 2 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 2 2 2 2 2 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Once you have done that Open Excel. From notepad copy the whole row and paste it into a single cell in Excel. Under the Data menu there is a menu Text to Columns. Select that and choose delimited. Then click Next and tick Space as the delimiter. Then click Finish. Select all the cells containing data in the first row. On the toolbar click the chart wizard and select the column chart type. Choose the first subtype and plot the graph. If everything has been entered correctly there should be a zero in row 65 i.e. at tone 64 - this is the pilot. This is a very rough method to view the bits per tone and doesn't provide any of the additional features that DMT does like the SNR per tone.
