Technicolor TG582n
The BEBox v2 has been sent out to new customers as of late October 2011. Existing customers are not entitled to a free upgrade unless they have either a 780WL, 716 or a 585v6 BEBox, for which there are no BE templates for use after the network changes.

Status Lights
The top of the ADSL modem has six LED status lights:
- Power
*Green Solid on Power on, normal operation *Green Blinking Undocumented but appears to be when writing firmware to flash *Red Solid on Power on, self-test failed, indicating device malfunction *Amber Solid on Bootloader selftest *Amber Blinking Bootloader active (during upgrade) *Off Power off
- Ethernet
*Green Blinking Ethernet activity * Solid on Ethernet connection, no activity *Off No Ethernet connection
- Broadband
*Green Blinking Pending DSL line synchronisation
Solid on DSL line synchronised
*Off DSL chip is broken or not yet initialised or your BEBox is off
- Internet
*Green Blinking Internet activity
Solid on Internet connectivity, no activity
*Red Solid on Internet connection setup failed
*Off No Internet connection
(A Red Internet LED can be ignored if connection to the internet is working OK. This will probably be because you have a static IP but the LED is configured to reflect the dynamic IP's interface - from the command line you can do system config defaultconnection Static to get the LED to go green. And saveall to make the change permanent).
- Wireless
*Green Blinking Wireless activity, WPA(2) encryption
Solid on No wireless activity, WPA(2) encryption
*Amber Blinking Wireless activity, WEP encryption
Solid on No wireless activity, WEP encryption
*Red Blinking Wireless activity, no security
Solid on No wireless activity, no security
*Red/green Toggling Wireless client registration phase
*Off WLAN disabled
- WPS
*Green Solid on Client successfully registered via WPS *Amber Blinking Waiting for WPS connection *Red Blinking Failed WPS connection *Off No WPS action requested
Web Interface

The rest is similar to the previous BEBoxes but with new graphical elements

New static IP profile options |
The WAN interfaces active in factory defaults mode (functions on both static and dynamic!)

Major Changes
- The power supply is 12v instead of 22v (The older beboxes used 22v) and the BEBox end of the lead has a smaller plug. The 585v7 etc. power adapters will not connect to a 582n.
- The "New - Multi-Static" profile is only to be used by customers who have multiple static IP addresses with BE. This profile will not work for single static IP users. See the note below about the factory default having both dynamic / static functionality.
- Bridge mode has two "Internet" interfaces for both VPI/VCI 0.101 and 0.102 so both Dynamic and Static customers can use the same bridge template.
- The default template (factory reset / dynamic mode) now contains both the static ip and dynamic ip configuration. The Static interface obtains its IP via DHCP because this is needed by BE's new network. Users with a static ip on the old network will need to use the Legacy Static template.
Firmware Upgrade
The upgrade wizard can be found in "\Setup\UpgradeWizard\Win2kXPVista\stInstall.exe" on the CD.
The CD that comes with the 582n has a bug in the firmware flash utility. When you get to the "select the firmware to flash" stage do NOT just click "Next" as it will not send the firmware file (but won't brick the router). Click on the firmware in the list FIRST and then click next, or try browsing to the firmware location.
Factory Reset
While the unit is on, hold down a thin object such as a paper clip into the reset hole at the back next to the power button until the power light on the unit goes off. Release the reset button.
Restoring a config
Beware when restoring a configuration file. Don't restore a configuration file from a different firmware. Ensure you use a short name for the ini file such as "user.ini" when restoring, it has been known for longer file names to upload but fail to apply.
Printers
Here's a guide for printer sharing on the 582n.
BE don't "support" this feature on the router so you are best asking for help on the BE forum if you are stuck rather than calling support or raising a ticket.
