I bought the SDG2042X in January this year which came with firmware which required a username and password to perform the hack via Telenet to make it a 120 Mhz. I found that out when I set out to perform the hack and got as far as the need to enter the user and pwd. I’ve read this thread a number of times and I need some help in understanding, things are going over my head. I downloaded the file SDG200_eevblog_23R3.zip posted by janekivi. I also downloaded the 23R3 official firmware from the Siglent site. The contents of both downloads appear to be the same when examined in Windows Explorer. There was some talk on this thread that janekivi changed the username and password to something known. So, is the janekivi file I downloaded hacked and if so, what is the known user/password ? Has anybody used the janekivi zip file and successfully upgrade the SDG2042 to 120 Mhz using this file ?
The other method mentioned in this thread is to down-grade to a previous firmware, then perform the hack to 120 Mhz and then update to the latest firmware. I can’t find previous versions of firmware on the Siglent site to download. Is there a place to get previous firmware and has anybody actually used this method ?
I would appreciate help in understanding what I am missing.
