Technicolor DGA4134 DMZ Gateway

The Technicolor DGA4134 sits between the Trooli ONT and the UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra (UCG), handling PPPoE authentication and providing DMZ passthrough to the UCG.

Why This Setup?

Trooli requires their equipment (or an approved router) to be directly connected for support purposes. The Technicolor handles PPPoE authentication while the UCG remains the network gateway via DMZ passthrough.

Benefits:

  • Trooli can see their router for diagnostics
  • UCG handles all firewall/routing as before
  • DMZ forwards ALL inbound traffic to UCG (no port forwarding needed)
  • Cellular failover still works on UCG

Access Restriction

The Technicolor only accepts SSH connections from devices on its LAN (192.168.100.x). To access from the main network, SSH via the UCG:

ssh root@10.44.1.1 "sshpass -p 'Cc62PhaEcgbA' ssh engineer@192.168.100.1 '<command>'"

Configuration Reference

CLI Commands

The Technicolor uses a TR-069 style CLI. Common commands:

# Get a value
get Device.IP.Interface.2.IPv4Address.1.IPAddress

# Set a value
set Device.IP.Interface.2.IPv4Address.1.IPAddress 192.168.100.1

# Apply changes (REQUIRED after set commands)
apply

# List available parameters
getpn Device.IP.Interface. true

# Show system info
showinfo

Troubleshooting

No Internet via Technicolor

  1. Check PPPoE status:

    ssh engineer@192.168.100.1
    top  # Look for pppd process with credentials
    ifconfig pppoe-wan  # Should show public IP
    

  2. Check WAN link:

    ifconfig eth0.101  # WAN interface
    

  3. Verify PPPoE credentials:

    get Device.PPP.Interface.1.Username
    # Password won't display but check pppd in 'top'
    

UCG Not Getting IP from Technicolor

  1. Check UCG WAN interface:

    ssh root@10.44.1.1 "ip addr show eth4"
    

  2. Check Technicolor DHCP:

    get Device.DHCPv4.Server.Pool.1.Enable  # Should be 1
    get Device.DHCPv4.Server.Pool.1.MinAddress
    get Device.DHCPv4.Server.Pool.1.MaxAddress
    

  3. Verify physical connection - UCG WAN port to Technicolor LAN port

DMZ Not Working (Inbound Traffic Blocked)

  1. Verify DMZ configuration:

    get uci.firewall.dmzredirect.@dmzredirect.dest_ip    # Should match UCG IP
    get uci.firewall.dmzredirect.@dmzredirect.enabled    # Should be 1
    get uci.firewall.redirectsgroup.@dmzredirects.enabled  # Should be 1
    

  2. Update DMZ if UCG IP changed:

    # Get current UCG IP
    ssh root@10.44.1.1 "ip -br addr show eth4"
    
    # Update DMZ target
    set uci.firewall.dmzredirect.@dmzredirect.dest_ip <NEW_IP>
    apply
    

hub2 WireGuard Not Connecting

The hub2 WireGuard tunnel connects to the UCG's public IP on port 51821. If the public IP changes:

  1. Get new public IP:

    ssh root@10.44.1.1 "curl -s ifconfig.me"
    

  2. Update hub2 endpoint:

    ssh hub2 "sudo wg set wg-uk peer b5NUl27Aw4BL5J21df4TBsUGNBIMyV8ObgiE85OL2Vs= endpoint <NEW_IP>:51821"
    

  3. Persist the change:

    ssh hub2 "sudo sed -i 's/OLD_IP/NEW_IP/g' /etc/wireguard/wg-uk.conf"
    

Re-enable WiFi (Emergency Access)

If you need WiFi to access the Technicolor:

# Via UCG
ssh root@10.44.1.1 "sshpass -p 'Cc62PhaEcgbA' ssh engineer@192.168.100.1 '
set uci.wireless.wifi-device.@radio_2G.state 1
set uci.wireless.wifi-device.@radio_5G.state 1
apply

  • Password: yESyZTaS

Rollback Procedure

To revert to direct UCG PPPoE (bypass Technicolor):

  1. Disconnect Technicolor:
  2. Unplug ONT to Technicolor cable
  3. Unplug Technicolor to UCG cable

  4. Direct connect:

  5. Plug ONT directly into UCG WAN port

  6. Reconfigure UCG WAN:

  7. Change from DHCP to PPPoE
  8. Username: 1119644@cfsbroadband.co.uk
  9. Password: aLyFePl2
  10. MTU: 1492

  11. Update hub2 WireGuard:

    # Get new UCG public IP and update hub2
    ssh hub2 "sudo wg set wg-uk peer b5NUl27Aw4BL5J21df4TBsUGNBIMyV8ObgiE85OL2Vs= endpoint <UCG_PUBLIC_IP>:51821"
    ssh hub2 "sudo sed -i 's/CURRENT_IP/NEW_IP/g' /etc/wireguard/wg-uk.conf"
    

Maintenance

Rebooting Technicolor

ssh engineer@192.168.100.1
reboot

Note

Internet will drop for 1-2 minutes during reboot. Cellular backup will take over.

Checking PPPoE Public IP

# From UCG
curl -s ifconfig.me

# Or check Technicolor directly
ssh engineer@192.168.100.1
ifconfig pppoe-wan | grep "inet addr"

Factory Reset (Emergency)

If the Technicolor becomes inaccessible:

  1. Hold reset button for 10+ seconds
  2. Default IP: 192.168.1.1
  3. Reconfigure all settings from scratch
