Interfaces[edit]

While the casing looks similar for all versions the connectors do not. Besides different ordering of all sockets and different WLAN switches there are major differences between the analog FON connectors. v1 (upper image) has a common RJ-12 FON1-3 socket (second from left) which requires its proprietary adapter which offers TAE sockets only - not very useful for the international market. v2 and EWE have 2 standard RJ-11 sockets for FON1 and FON2 and a Push-Wire connector for a spare FON3.

Hardware[edit]

Besides a complete redesign of the PCB the FPGA-Chips are the major difference between the v1 and v2/EWE versions. There may also be different versions of the switch chip.

HWRevision[edit]

There's one major difference in the Bootloader-Environment of all versions, the HWRevision. It consists of 4 numbers, the third number is 0 for v1 or 1 for v2/EWE and selects the correct bitfile for the different FPGA-Chips.

Webinterface[edit]

The main page of the Webinterface clearly states the version. Since v1 and v2 use the same Firmware there is no differenve in the Webinterface. The Multibox 7170 NGN would show the 7170 name if debranded but the Firmware does not support debranding.
