Backing up config of DSL modem

I have a Westell 7500 DSL modem that allows the backup of the config settings internally. I need to replace the modem and am hoping there is a way to save the settings externally so as to use on new modem. Any insight would be very much appreciated.
Tnx!

NJT welcome to the forum. See post 2 here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r25544433-modem-router-Westell-7500-Configuration-File-option-to-sav...-
Bottom line there is no way to save to an external hard drive, flash drive etc. This used to drive me nuts escpecially having to setup port forwarding for STEAM! Best you can do is wrtie everyting down and enter it manually into the new router. Now I have FIOS & I can save the config file to my hard drive (ActionTec MI424WR-Gen2) I tested it & I am able to restore settings!

  • Can I switch back and forth between DSL ethernet modem and AirPort ?

    I use Earthlink DSL connected direct to my iMac by ethernet cable from my modem and the service is very good . . . ever since I installed Leopard I noticed up in the top menu bar that AirPort is ON and usually shows 4 or 5 names listed and only 2 or 3 have the Lock icon . . . I have to assume AirPort is detecting signals from the apartments above and next to me . . . I do not need a wireless connection but I am curious to see if my iMac will actually join one of those networks so how do I temporarily try that and then go back to my regular wired DSL service ? . . . also, I may start renting out a room in my place and the girl will undoubtedly have either a Windows or hopefully a Mac laptop and will need wireless so I would appreciate advice on the best equipment to buy that both Windows and Mac laptops can connect to wirelessly . . . thanks in advance for any advice

    Yes you can. Just unplug your DSL modem and then go to your airport menu and try to connect to one of the networks taht's available there. To switch back, reconnect your DSL modem and connect as you usually do.
    Any wireless "802.11x" router (where x is "b","g", or "n") will work for both Macs and PCs. Practically all routers these days are compatible with every platform out there.

  • A query about Time Capsule, Ethernet, and DSL modems...

    When I originally set up my modem, I used the network assistant and it seemed to "auto-connect", where the assistant tells you that your ISP "may allow you" etc. This was done with the ethernet cable as Modem to Macbook Pro. Then when I purchased a TC, I simply connected the ethernet cable to the TC and let Airport Utility set up a wireless network.
    All was fine, until I was trying to ensure my security was half-decent. I changed a few settings in the TC, and then spent an afternoon trying to get my MBP to "see" the wireless network. I got that managed as well.
    What's confusing me is this, and I hope someone can help me and explain it like I'm a 5-year-old.
    1. In speaking with the ISP tech support, they seemed pretty sure I had to enter specific DCHP, DNS, etc. values in their fields, yet with the network assistant, it seemed to do this not only on its own, but with different values (numbers) then the one tech support told me to use, including an assigned "public" 192 IP address.
    2. Moreover, the ISP told me I should use PPPoE, yet the network assistant seemed just fine with Ethernet and DCHP.
    3. My ethernet IP address (System preferences/Network) is different from my Airport IP address. Is this normal?
    4. Strangely, when I connect another ethernet cable from the TC ethernet out port to the MBP (I was attempting a quicker Time Machine incremental back up), and turned Airport off (as an experiment), I still have internet connectivity. I thought TC ethernet out to MBP would only be for disk data transfer. Is this normal? If I have Airport "ON", would that cable then only be used for data transfer?
    5. I have the TC in Bridge Mode, with Access Control to "Not Enabled". I originally had my MBP and iPod Touch MAC addresses added to Access Control, until I read that this doesn't really help with security. As it stands now, I increased my WPA2 password from an easy to remember one to a random 25 character one. Basically, I am hoping someone can tell me the settings I should use (with detail) to make both the network settings AND the wireless network as safe as possible without having a computer science degree.
    Additional information: I only use my MBP and iPod Touch, and the wireless network is only for my use. No guests whatsoever. I do have a usb printer connected to the TC. The modem has a wireless "WLAN" feature which I have turned off since I have the TC. For my email accounts, I have the correct ports entered, as far as I can tell and as far as I've been told by those providers. I occasionally use Acquisition (not sure how safe it is security wise), and I'm often online playing Call of Duty 4 (wirelessly). I think that all I can think of that's important.
    I really appreciate everyone's comments and guidance.

    4. Strangely, when I connect another ethernet cable from the TC ethernet out port to the MBP (I was attempting a quicker Time Machine incremental back up), and turned Airport off (as an experiment), I still have internet connectivity. I thought TC ethernet out to MBP would only be for disk data transfer. Is this normal? If I have Airport "ON", would that cable then only be used for data transfer?
    Whichever connection is toward the top of the list in System Preferences-> Network preference pane is the one which will be used.
    5. I have the TC in Bridge Mode, with Access Control to "Not Enabled". I originally had my MBP and iPod Touch MAC addresses added to Access Control, until I read that this doesn't really help with security. As it stands now, I increased my WPA2 password from an easy to remember one to a random 25 character one. Basically, I am hoping someone can tell me the settings I should use (with detail) to make both the network settings AND the wireless network as safe as possible without having a computer science degree.
    WPA2 with a long non-dictionary password is the best wireless security.
    2. Moreover, the ISP told me I should use PPPoE, yet the network assistant seemed just fine with Ethernet and DCHP.
    If your ISP uses PPPoE for Internet connections, the device connecting directly to the DSL modem should be configured to use PPPoE.
    3. My ethernet IP address (System preferences/Network) is different from my Airport IP address. Is this normal?
    Yes

  • Can no longer connect to network server after upgrading dsl modem

    While I was working on a file that resides on a network server, the router was powered down so on reboot it would communicate with a dsl modem . After the router was power up I could not reconnect to the server.
    I have internet access
    The mini can see the server in the finder and the server sees the mini
    This is not a wireing issue.
    When I try to connect I get this message:
    "The file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP Protocol. You cannot connect"
    The server is an old mac running os 9.1. I've read that 9.1 is not compatible with 10.4.8. But it worked just fine this morning.
    There are other macs (cubes) running 9.2 I can connect to them.
    I've tried restarting and logging on as a differernt user. no change

    Thanks for your help
    I made no changes to the mini or the server.
    The router was shut down then on restart the new (replaced modem) was configured by using another mac on the network (not the file server)
    Once the router and modem were online again, other macs running 9.2 were accessing the file server as usual. The mini was not.
    I had been working on a file that resides on the server. I was not warned that the router was going to be shut down. When I saved the file I got the beach ball then error message.
    It'll be next week before I'm in the office agin. I'll report back then. Thanks

  • Upgraded DSL Modem, Now Bonjour Doesn't Work

    I upgraded my Qwest DSL Modem from an ActionTec GT-701 to an ActionTec PK5000 and now my Quicksilver G4 is not available via Bonjour (I'm using it as a print server). I switched back to the old router, and it works again, so the problem def. is the new router. I tried to see if the known ports are blocked (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1629), but they don't appear to be - I turned off UPnP (Universal Plug N Play) just to be sure it didn't conflict but no joy. Somebody else out there seems to have had similar problems (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-printing-and-scanning/Beware-of-the-ActionTec-P K5000-for-wireless-printing-with-HP/td-p/267515) but I'm not sure if it's a direct match.
    I upgraded to make my VOIP smoother, due to the integrated Ethernet switch in the modem. But I'm moving back to the old modem for now, and using an external switch.
    Anybody have any feedback on how to configure the new DSL modem correctly so Bonjour will work? I did notice an error in the system log:
    "mDNSResponder: NOTE: Wide-Area Service Discovery disabled to avoid crashing defective DNS relay 192.168.0.1."
    Could that be the trouble? I did try to fix the DNS settings on the modem. Again, no success.

    Thanks for that.
    Probably has an Application Layer Gateway (ALG) for SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) which is something iChat uses, that can not be changed from pushing SIP data to port 5060.
    SIP is also used by SIP/VoIP phones which gets around Long Distance charges so many ISPs block it until you pay for the "Extra Service" which a few years ago was open anyway.
    There was an International agreement that all SIP apps and equipment would use port 5060-5063. It was supposed to be accessible on a pass-through basis from one Internet Server to another but ISPs seem to have classed end users as a non through connections.
    Thomson-Alcatel have had a SIP Binding as they call it since there models could run Version 3 firmware. (You had to telnet into the device to turn it off)
    At version 5 firmware they changed it so that it could only be partially turned Off.
    Thomson-Alcatel make devices branded for other people including the HOME HUB from BT (Formerly British Telecom) who own 99% of Landline connections in the UK (they Wholesale out both Land lines and Broadband DSL connections).
    Various ISPs that supply modems often have them supplied with Branded Firmware on there. It tends to be these Branded versions that cause problems (Although the Thomson-Alcatel issue is below the Web Browser interface level).
    This may give clues as to where to look and how your device maybe accessed (telnet).

  • Getting DSL Modem, TimeCapsule, and XBox 360 to play nice

    I just bought a 1TB Time Capsule and pretty much hooked it up without reading the manual by using what seemed like the defaults. Everything seems to be working fine...I've got internet access, my two MacBooks are backing up using Time Machine...my only issue is that XBox 360, which connects wirelessly, is offline, (i.e., it can't connect to XBox Live.)
    I have AT&T DSL internet. I plugged my TC into the Westell DSL Modem and ran the Airport configuration software. Using the default or recommended options, My TC assumed the settings for the wireless server of my Westell Modem. (I selected the "Bridge" setting when I got to that part.) When I was told to turn off the other wireless device (My Westell modem's wireless), I just logged on to the modem and turned off the wireless.
    Everything worked fine...until I went to get on to XBox Live. It fails the connection test on XBox. (Everything else still works great.)
    What do I need to do to get the XBox back up and running? It appears that my Westell is the router, handing out IP addresses, and my TC is just a wireless bridge to my Westell. Why wouldn't it hand an address to the XBox just like is doing for my two MacBooks?
    I still have my HP Color LaserJet hooked up via ethernet to the Westell.
    Is there a better way to hook all this up?

    Maybe I shouldn't have said I have the "default settings". At each step along the initial configuration path, I read the details for each option, and choose the path that would seem to work best in my environment.
    In my initial post that indicated that I chose the "Bridge" route that you recommended, but my XBox 360 is not getting an IP address from my Westell DSL modem. Yet my 2 MacBooks, 1 MacBook Pro, 2 iPhones and 1 iPod touch all seem to get served IP addresses without a hitch.
    There was a was an option about NAT & Something else after "Bridge" was selected. Is there something about that setting that would allow Mac stuff to access my network, but prevent a Microsoft-rigid device like an XBox 360 from gaining access?

  • Airport Extreme Base station cannot connect to Westell C90-36R516-01 DSL modem

    Hi,
    I just purchased a new Airport Extreme Base station for my 15" Macbook Pro. I set everything up this morning per the docs (all cables are connected properly) but the Airport Extreme is flashing an amber LED, which means it cannot establish communication to the network/Internet.
    I'm using an old Westell C90-36R516-01 DSL modem that has been working fine up until now. I've tried switching out the Ethernet cables and different powering on/off combos but nothing appears to work. When I connect the Ethernet cable directly into my laptop, I have to power down the DSL modem, power it back on, and then do several refreshes before I finally get an Internet connection.
    I read a previous post about unplugging the modem overnight and then plugging it in the next morning to wipe out the MAC address setting. I will be trying that tonight, but I was wondering if there was anything else I could try in the meantime? Or, is it simply a matter of having to get a newer modem from Verizon because this one is 7-8 years old? 
    Thanks for any help you can provide. 
    Solved!

    Hi Max,
    Let's start from the beginning,  
    The ethernet from the modem should be wired to the Wan port of the Airport...
    On page 28 of the users manual it says if the light flashes amber you should unplug the power of the modem, wait a few seconds and power up the modem.
    I presume you installed the Airport utility from the disk that came with the Airport?
    For more information about the reason the light flashes
    Open AirPort Utility, select your base station, and then choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu. ClickBase Station Status to display information about the flashing light
    Here is a link to the Manual  CLICK HERE
    I was hoping to find out more about the Airport utility to see what's it's capable of doing...

  • How to setup 2 AXs in ethernet series from an AT&T DSL modem

    I want to expand my exisitng ethernet network (AT&T DSL modem -> Ethernet Cat6 -> AX -> WiFi).  My home is concrete block ranch, so one AX doesn't cover the whole house.
    I am running the latest version of ML on a 1TB, 16GB RAM, MBP 9.1 (non-retina display). Maximum hardware running off Wi-Fi is: 2 MBPs, 1 PC, 3 iPads, 4 iPhones.  All hardware is running latest updates.
    I wired the house with Cat6 ethernet with 4 RJ-45 LAN access jacks. 
    The proposed new configuration is:
    ATT 2010-02 DSL Modem -> Ethernet Cat6 -> AX1 -> 5-port gigabit switch --> Ethernet1 Cat6 -> AX2 -> WiFi
                                                                                                           |
                                                                                                           |-> Ethernet2 Cat6 -> TV Internet connection
                                                                                                           |
                                                                                                           |-> Ethernet3 Cat6 -> open LAN connection (for PC, etc)
                                                                                                           |
                                                                                                           |-> Ethernet4 Cat6 -> open LAN connection (for PC, etc)
                                                                                                           |
                                                                                                            |-> Ethernet5 Cat6 -> MBP 9.1
    Where:
                  AX1 = Airport Express MC414LL/A, model A1392, simultaneous dual-band 802.11n WiFi
                  AX2 = Airport Express MB321LL/A, model A1264
    I assume both AXs are setup in "bridge mode" & "Create a new network", but I don't know where to go from their.  I have read several posts, but it is not clear what to do when the AXs are different generations and connected serially.  One AX setup I tried turned the Internet light on the modem red.  I had to reset the modem and router to get back to square one.  Where do i go next?

    Note: I am assuming that your DSL modem is just a mode and NOT a combination modem/router or gateway device.
    If that's the case, then AX1 would have both NAT & DHCP services enabled (its default) and AX2 would be in bridge mode. If, on the other hand, the DSL modem is a gateway, then both AXs would be configured as bridges.
    Regardless, both AXs would "Create a network" and both would use the same Network Name, Wireless Security Type and Password. In essesence you would have a basic roaming network.

  • How make iphone auto-select network - DSL modem wifi "extended" through AEBS

    I hope this is the place to post this - it involves an iPhone but concerns my wifi network.
    I have a DSL modem on the ground floor which broadcasts a wifi signal.
    I also have an Airport Extreme on the second floor which extends this signal to the third and fourth floors of the house where the DSL modem's wifi can't reach.
    This extension by the AEBS is done by "creating" a new network (in Airport Utility's settings) which uses the same SSID.
    This setup works very well and laptops can access the network on all four floors. However, my iphone - which I use for Skype a lot and is a main phone link in the household - gets "confused" on the first floor because it seemingly doesn't know which of the two stations to connect to. On this floor I think both signals are pretty much equally strong.
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks in advance for any insight.
    /p

    However, my iphone - which I use for Skype a lot and is a main phone link in the household - gets "confused"
    Unfortunately, iPhones and iPads and other iOS devices are not nearly as sophisticated as a laptop regarding choosing the best wireless access point to use.
    In general, the iOS device will tend to hang on the original access point to which they have connected....even when another access point is closer and may have a stronger signal. At other times, the iOS device might "switch" to the closer access point.
    Nature of the beast until Apple gives us a better iOS operating system. In the meantime, about all that you can do is power off the iOS device when  you move it to another area and then power it back up to see if it will pick up the closer wireless access point.
    Maybe one of the iPhone gurus will have a suggestion for you as well, so you might want to post over in that support area to see. We are not iPhone experts here.

  • Problems hooking up my router to my dsl modem

    ok, first off I have a emachines computer running on windows millenium edition. A westell dsl modem model 6100, and a linksys wireless G 2.4ghz broadband router  model number wrt54gs version 6. all this connects to a 3com  etherlink xl 10/100 pci tx NIC model number 3C905B-TX. Lastnight I searched for any and all help I could find to install this router due to the multiple problems I had trying to get it all to work together, just as I finally got it working 5 hours later, it was bed time and I shut it all down. I woke in the morning to use the computer and was heavily irritated to find myself back at no internet connection and was unable to get any of this equipment to work again. Now finally after I restored my computers operating system and resetting my dsl modem, I have internet again. I just bought this router and I am very disappointed in how difficult it has been. If anyone could help me on installing this, give me details on exactly what to change, or do to make this work, I would be very grateful. I am aware of the issues between westell modems, verizon dsl and linksys routers. From what I have read its almost not designed to all work together at all unless you tweak with it forever and ever and never shut your equipment down. Please if anyone can help, give me step by step instructions or your experiences that could help me make it work right, please respond, thank you.

    Use this LINK as a reference to configure your router to use a DSL connection.  Also go to the linksys web site and make sure your router has the latest firmware.  If not download the latest version and update it.

  • Help please:set up mac 10.4.11 with ext dsl modem to send and receive faxes

    Hi and thanks in advance. I have a G4MDD dual processor, and have a dsl modem for internet connection. I want to set up to send and receive faxes. I can make and receive phone calls while connected to the internet. any ideas or help appreciated. Thanks again.
    Message was edited by: R.Andom

    I cannot send/receive faxes via my dsl, I have to use my regular phone line. (My DSL modem only has one phone jack port, and that is to connect it to the outside world. Pretty sure this is true of every DSL modem.)
    When I need fax capability, I unplug the phone line to my telephone at the phone end, and plug that cable into the modem port in the back of the G4. (The modem is built-in.) After sending / receiving, I switch the cable back to the phone.
    You set up fax capability in System Preferences / Print and Fax.

  • Westell DSL modem connects to WRT54GX2 SRX 200 with wire

    I follow the instructions found on this site..  The first couple of times the procedure did not work.  On the MODEM ( Westell) needed a manual  reset.  At that time  the network starting working.
    A note needs to added to this instruction as stated above.   The title of the instruction  is:
    Setting up DSL on a Linksys Router using a wired connection
    Thanks for the good info
    BlackSteel

    Mahalo nui, 
    Hawaiian Telcom, my internet provider did, a while back, go into the bridge setup for the WRT54G, and yes, you are absolutely correct that it need be hardwired into the DSL modem. 
    Since going wireless is the goal, I see no extra benefit to the additional WRT54G hardware.
    From the Airport Extreme Setup Manual, under "Using the Airport Extreme with a Broadband Internet Service", again, still need to hardwire to the DSL modem. 
    No mention of the "Wireless Bridge" function so I am unsure, though will try to use the USB port on the Dell to make her wireless. If not there, then maybe the USB Iomega Drive. As the Iomega reads both PC and Mac files which is important, wireless access would be a benefit.
    So my thoughts are that as long as the DSL modem wireless network coverage is acceptable, there is no benefit to hardwiring in additional APs with wireless capability.
    Maybe though, the additional hardware would diminish the click-clicking. On the other hand, a square waveform is easy to enhance and modulate with analog voice, think!....
    Thanks, aloha

  • DSL modem in the Airport - does it exist?

    OK, this is either going to be a stupid question or one everyone's tired of hearing, so please forgive me.
    Over the last year, we've purchased over a dozen different routers for various premises and uses. Netgear, D-Link, Belkin, LinkSys, etc. - I personally like to try different brands and units just to see what’s available. The glaring omission here is Apple’s own technology.
    I bought a couple of Airport base stations years ago but never went back as there doesn’t seem to be an option for one with an ADSL modem built in. Is there? I just saw Apple have released another variant but still no modem. Am I missing something obvious here? Is there some technical reason they can’t incorporate a broadband modem?
    I guarantee you: if Apple’s product had a simple DSL modem in it, we would’ve just bought a heap of them and the other manufacturers would’ve been left out in the cold. As I said, maybe such a thing exists but we’ve been too blind to see it. Thank you for any explanations you may be able to give.

    Hello again. Thank you for your consideration. I made the mistake of being presumptuous. Here in Ireland, we have little choice in terms of DSL service. There are a few companies but the only thing that would change - when switching supplier - is the username, password, IP and DNS numbers, etc. Hence, all of the routers we’ve purchased have DSL modems built-in and we just configure accordingly.
    My apologies. I just thought it was such a simple thing to do as all the other manufacturers seem to do it and for less money than what the Airport Extreme BS cost. The issue is more complex than I thought [especially in other countries] but I still can’t help but think if everyone else can do it, why not Apple...?
    Thank you again.

  • Bridge mode for airport extreme or dsl modem? Recomendations?

    I'm upgrading to a 'blisteringly fast' 12 Mbps with my local DSL ISP (no cable in my area), and I'm thinking of changing out my
    My current, antiquated setup is with a Speedstream 5200 Modem/Router (8 Mbps max) with a Linksys E1200 802.11n router. We have an Apple TV with HDMI into a stout Panasonic plasma, 2 Macs, 3 iPads (2xgen4 + mini), 3 5C iPhones and an old Dell Winbox (XP vintage that I will toss out) that access this configuration in a good-sized house (2 stories, ~4000 sq.ft.).
    The Linksys 'n' speed router is somewhat adequate, but we want to do movie/video/music streaming to the AppleTV and we want to buy a new Mac (probably a Mac-mini to replace the Winbox). I also want to future-proof this setup for a few years, given the pain it usually is to do a wholesale swap-out like what I'm contemplating. I want to swap-out this pairing with:
    a DSL modem/router to either a Netgear DM111PSP-100NAS (ADSL2+) or an older, but robust Actiontec GT-701D (or the newer -NF).
    an Airport Extreme (802.11ac) to manage my Apple menagerie for fast streaming, and also to hang a poor man's network file storage off the USB port.
    I'm asking for some recommendations from the community at-large so I can minimize the hassles when I do this swap-out.  Which of the two devices (the modem/router or the AE router) should I put in bridge mode? Any performance penalties one way or another, or hidden gotchas?
    Thanks in advance.
    Craig

    I'm back and wanted to put a coda on this thread.
    First of all, many thanks to the recommendations by Tesserax and LaPastenague.  You helped allay my fears in converting over to the Time Capsule environment.
    The home network is working just great.  Internal speed-ups all the way around.  TC is working great as both a file server AND a Time Machine site.  The Netgear DSL modem is the firewall and the DHCP server for my network.  As stated in earlier posts, it has superior firewall capabilities compared to the Time Capsule.  I configured the Time Capsule to Bridge Mode with my iPhone 5C, the configuration of which only took a couple of minutes.  The speed between the 802.11 ac devices, my TC and the new Mac Mini, are unbelievably fast--on the order of 150+ Mbps at a distance of 40 feet or so through several walls--beamforming really does appear to work as advertised.  That doesn't matter overall except for the Time Machine aspects, as my DSL line is a blisteringly fast 12 Mbps.
    The only glitch I've had over the last 3 weeks was due to a short power outage, and the main problem was the networking with hard ethernet connection to the Time Capsule.  I had to reboot the Netgear modem, as it was in a funky state, while other devices, such as my new Mac Mini, were waiting for the modem to vend a DHCP address.  It turns out that the Apple TV had some persistence with its old DHCP-vended address, and the Mac Mini somehow received its IP address first--which conflicted with the Apple TV.  Now, I'm not sure why the wirelessly networked Mac Mini beat the Apple TV to receiving a DHCP vending first, but it did, and the address persistence of the Apple TV created a conflict on the Apple TV network connection.  Once I realized the problem, I shut down the Mac Mini and made sure all my other devices were off as well.  I then restarted the entire network, the Apple TV received its IP address first, and all was well again.  Granted, I could have disconnected the ethernet and allowed really fast wireless to the Apple TV, but it's only 4 feet away from the Time Capsule, so I might as well have the fastest pipe available for HD streaming to my large-format HD television.
    The switchover was absolutely painless.  Both the modem and the Time Capsule took, all total, about 10 minutes to set up and configure.  Much easier than with Winboxes.  Other than the Apple TV IP conflict after the power outage, it's been a real delight.
    I'm very happy I switched to this new network configuration.

  • Can you disable the DSL modem on 837 Router

    Hello is there any way to turn off / disable the DSL modem on the 837 router?   I have shutdown the ATM0 interface but the modem is still trying to train up.  I'm trying to disable it as I am now using an external modem with PPPOE.

    Hi Jeff,
    Hmm, there does not seem to be any command that would deactivate the modem. I do not have such a router handy though - can you enter the global config mode and try writing the controller ? command including the question mark? Is it recognized? If yes, does it allow you to refer to either the ATM or a DSL interface? If yes, try entering the mode provided by the controller command, and use shutdown to deactivate it. As I said, though - I am not sure if this command is supported on your platform. Perhaps try entering the service internal command as the very first command before trying playing with the controller - this hidden command in the global config unlocks some of other hidden features.
    In any case, do you have any problems with the modem still running? I understand it is kind of irritating to know that the modem continuously stays up and tries to bring up the link. Then again, it shouldn't do any harm...
    Best regards,
