Getting to the Heart of A Matter of the MTA 6328-2 Re

I have been a user of computers ever sense i have been 16 years old.

I have opperated computers rang8ng from Linux to Windows. 

With that said, i am well versed in many areas of technologies having to do with the internet.

As owners we should have access to all operations of said devices.

 

Now to the point.

I never reciecved an instruction manual for the MTA 6328-2 Re. Unit 

So i took it upon myself to go to the source and get its pdf.

 

Now i find it odd that i am unable to commit to do the following  task for what ever reason.

And i feel.as said owner of this device i should have full access.

On page 6 of a 102 page panual it states this.

 

Table 3. Web User Interface - Logging in
Step Action 1 Open your web browser and enter the IP address of the SIP Device. 192.168.99.1 is the default address.

The Login Dialogue Box as shown in Figure 5 appears

2 Enter your Username and Password. NOTE: The default User Name is "Admin" and Password is "password".

For security reason, it is recommended to change the default Administrator ID and Password after initial login.

See Changing Administrator ID and Password on page 24 for details.

 

Now as a well educated internet user i treat this as a very serious matter where i am unable to comete said task.

Either my equipment  has been tampered with or alltered or something else has taken place.

 

I would like to no why as owner and as administrator i am blocked from accessing  this area known as "Web Service"?

And why am i blocked for all admin options.especially  if i own the equipment. 

 

I have contacted InNo Media and they stated that sometimes companies add thier own firmware to the device.

If this is the case i would lime to know in truth if this is what has occured and if so..Why?

    Hello Lee98611,

     

    I understand from your previous posts you prefer a plain and simple answer, so I will be direct for you.

     

    Q: "I would like to no why as owner and as administrator i am blocked from accessing  this area known as "Web Service"?"

    A: Thousands of these devices were specifically re-developed for use with the HughesNet service. Because of this, the original software from the original manufacturer may not be included in your version of the software.

     

    I would also like to provide some further information regarding our previous answers. The Voice Subscriber Agreement is an addendum to the Residential Subscriber agreement. Here are some excerpts which I believe will clear this up:

    There is no reason for customers to have access to the equipment in that manor, it's nothing but a device to connect your phone to your modem if you have Hughesnet voice.

    You also do NOT own the equipment unless you paid the full purchase price, or have completed the minimum term agreement according to the Hughesnet Voice Subscriber Agreement.  http://legal.hughesnet.com/VoiceServiceAgreement/index.cfm

    That aside, the ATA is programmed to work with Hughesnet specifically, and the HT2000w and HT1100 units are also programmed to route the traffic for those units differently.  That is the only way to get decent call quality over satnet, and is why most other VOIP solutions wont work.
