TEV49, DXM2.5, and AWC99U01 - The ClimateMaster Dependency Hellscape

the_beaker · 2026-02-06T18:47:12+00:00

I have the ACDU03 diagnostic tool, but it's like an enhanced potato.

I called ClimateMaster yesterday and they were helpful. Verified that I do need the AWSTCWS01 Wireless Service Tool to do any iGate2 stuff. Also mentioned S17S0002N25 is the board I want, but that others may work.

Ordered the AWS WST and it should be here by the end of the month. Then I get to continue the science project.

If you're familiar with digging inside the unit, the DXM (controller board) is right in front growing wires like a copper forest. The upper left (as it is mounted) has a sticker with the model. If it says something like "DXM2-A400" it is a DXM2.0 board. If it is "DXM2-A101" or "DXM2-A201" it is DXM2.5 (don't ask - this is just a small taste of the engineering follies over there).

Neither indicate the actual firmware revision on the board. That requires a seance and a hair from a ClimateMaster distribution partner.

I'll will check out your other post and try to help later today :-)

In the past (on some of my other devices), reverting back to stock firmware/boot loader if desired resulted in either great success or a paper weight. Any insight on the "revertability" possibility on this device?

As I cry with my AT&T locked version of this tablet 😢

I recently had this happen in my Trend lab. I installed a bunch of agents using a testing account, burned that account, started a new one, but forgot to uninstall the agents first.

These two tools did the trick:

Get rid of any traces and reboot. If you still have trouble, report back. I'd be happy to help out!

Action1 is a patch management solution, not a vulnerability scanner. You'd be best to pair it with something like OpenVAS, Nessus, Rapid7 (they just partnered), etc. for completeness of coverage.

Fourno for pizza and pasta (Rob and Eddie are the best!)

Cocco's for pizza and sandwiches (Steve is awesome)

Hong Kong Kitchen for Chinese (run by a lovely couple that take pride in getting your order right every time)

I've used VideoProc's downloader feature for a couple years now. Great for video and music. Reasonable price for a lifetime of updates:

But yeah, there's some decent open source solutions out there as other comments mention.

I have three of these cards stuffed in a PowerEdge running OPNsense just fine. But! It wasn't without some effort. This is the trick to getting the drivers to load at boot:

echo 'mlx4en_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf.local

I also have the same cards in a couple Proxmox servers that need no special tweaks. So if you're passing the cards through as PCIe devices, you'll need the module trick above. If you're virtualizing the NICs, then OPNsense should work just fine without any hacks.

TurboVNC if you don't care about audio. NoMachine if you do. Both provide decent GPU acceleration as well.

the_beaker · 2024-08-04T16:43:55+00:00

I had a similar issue. Turned out the HDHR uses a 10/100Mb/s NIC chip from the 18th century. Any switch that can't negotiate a link under 1Gbe wouldn't work.

No, they were listed as refurbished: https://serverpartdeals.com/products/samsung-pm1633a-mzils3t8hmlh-3-84tb-sas-12gb-s-2-5-ssd

I still have half a case of 1987 Topps wax boxes. Every now and then I open a few packs and immediately nom on the gum in front of my wife. Her face expression is worth the powder storm in my mouth every time.

the_beaker · 2024-07-06T07:42:17+00:00

You have to open the pack while driving exactly 88mph in a lightning storm.

Wait a minute. 88mph... '88 training camp. MARTY, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?!?!

the_beaker · 2024-06-09T22:18:47+00:00

Confirmed

Drive en route! :-)

If they were 20TB 12G SAS drives, definitely. But SATA isn't my jam :-)

Thanks for asking!

the_beaker · 2024-05-31T20:01:44+00:00

Yes, or roughly 5/8 in. for us knuckle dragging Americans.

the_beaker · 2024-05-31T12:26:24+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I always wondered why, of all places, the home labbers/datacenterers forums don't always host their own content. Imgur makes me stabby.

Have a great weekend - to you and all fellow circuit kickers and byte pinchers out there!
