I have very bad memories with that page when I was newbie on cable
modems. Stay away from undocumented configuration page for instance.

E.g. I seen "North America" setup as my configuration, I said to myself
"aww, morons" and switched to Europe PAL. Result: 2 days of rebooting
cable modem until ISP tech had to come my house. *g*

Just warning oh, the page is useful of course, the documented pages.
Just stay away from undocumented ones, e.g. changing values unless your
ISP says so.

That modem is new model of my sb3100, great choice BTW. This thing here
runs for 3 years or more, non stop Oh, except the torture which I did
myself. Thats why I alerted.

Have a nice day

The config files that most cable companies tftp to the cablemodem will
disable the ability of the user to make any changes to the modem's
configuration. Unless you have armatures running the system, you shouldn't
be able to do anything other than reset the cablemodem to factory
settings -- in which case a new config file will simply once again be
tftp'ed to the modem.

I'd suggest that if you can make more changes than that, your cable company
doesn't know what they're doing, and they had better hire someone who know
what they're doing, or prepare for chaos to break out on the system.

Could give a clue about their quality! Yes, they actually allowed me
changing those values to anything and I thought Europe frequency plan
was the thing to do.

And speaking about chaos, I watch my firewall log when I am bored

I just wish firmware updates etc were a part of DOCSIS standard and e.g.
cable modems could update themselves from Motorola server etc. Many
FAQ's say its ISP which can update modem firmware.

Well, its working now anyway and not playing with it since the ISP which
I will contact when I do something wrong would be knowing less than me

Have a nice day, thanks btw, I was really wondering how the heck I was
allowed to do such a freaky change.

Firmware updates are part of DOCSIS. The updates are pushed from the ISP's
servers, not the modem vendors. Most, if not all, ISPs will want to test
firmware in the lab before they release it to the field. That way they know
that it works in their system. It's a similar reason to why ISPs only let
approved modems on their systems and not just any DOCSIS modem.
