Hey i was just wondering if there is a program out there that is
capable of making the motorola cable modem to standby mode where the
orange light is at the bottom instead of pressing the standby button
on the actual modem, like a program where i can run it on my computer
to make it standby =] thanks i was just wondering if there was such a
thing

If there were, it would most likely involve using SNMP.

It may also involve having a password to effect the change or at
least coming from the wideband side.

So I'm guessing not likely.

Well, it doesn't have to be that complicated. The old 2100D and 3100D
modems had a similar function through the http interface on the user
side of the modem. They had to be able to be put into and taken out of
standby from the desktop when they were used in a one-way cable system,
but the function could also be adapted to a two-way situation as well.
(On those modems, if you went to one of the internal web pages, there
was a link to activate/deactivate the modem, and the "software" on the
desktop was just a short-cut to that http link.)

Whether that functionality was retained in the later modem series that
didn't have D versions, I don't know. It's not something that people
generally ask for. It's possible that the functionality is still there,
and can still be accessed through the http side. I just don't know if
anyone has bothered with it.
