Hidden features and settings - jamesmacwhite/hh70-ee GitHub Wiki

The EE branded variant of the Alcatel HH70VB, includes features/setting pages originally part of the Alcatel firmware. EE have removed these from the web interface navigation, but they are still present and accessible in the firmware builds. Most features/settings pages are functional.

To access these hidden setting pages, replace the "pageName" placeholder with any of the following page name values below and access through your web browser when authenticated as normal.

Page name	Description
diagnostic	Provides further information about the cellular connection includes RSSI, EC/IO, LAC Code, Cell ID, RSRP and SINR information.
monthlyPlan	A way to monitor monthly usage and to automatically disconnect if a certain threshold is reached.
routingRules	Allows adding static routes and also an option for dynamic routing with the ability to change the version of Routing Information Protocol (RIP). The options of v1, v2 or both are present.
urlFilter	Allows blacklisting of one or more URLs. This feature works by using the local DNS resolver (dnsmasq). It makes the DNS resolver timeout on blacklisted domains. Not exactly an elegant solution given the delay this has, instead it would have been better to null route domains or returning NXDOMAIN.
vpn	Based on the contents within build.js, this looks to be a VPN passthrough setting not a VPN server, but the setting label itself returns “undefined” when accessed so it doesn’t look entirely functional, but the toggle setting seems to have some form of action configured behind it.
ddns	Dynamic DNS settings. Not sure how useful or functional this would be given IPv4 with EE 4G is through CGNAT, but you can choose from four DDNS providers, dtdns.com, dyndns.org, no-ip.com and changeip.com.
backup	Looks to be a left over page and is blank, likely because the backup and restore functionality exists at restore.
reboot	Similar to the backup page except it does have a reboot button, however this is also present on the resetReboot page, which is in the web interface navigation.
tr069	Support for TR-069 is implemented, but disabled by default. EE themselves aren’t using it as remote access method. This feature allows you to configure the router to connect to an OpenACS server endpoint with authentication credentials. This is often used by ISPs to remotely control/manage CPEs. The implementation is EasyCwmp https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/ucwmp. It is functional and I even managed to setup my own OpenACS server (using GenieACS) and get it to connect with the ability to control some areas/settings.
activePicopoint	Picopoint seems to be a digital marketing solution that can target mobile devices through NFC and other communication methods. The 4GEE Home Router appears to support this functionality through uploading a configuration file. There is a file present within the router at /jrd-resource/bin/enable_picopoint_nw_conf which makes changes to the LAN interface if picopoint gets enabled. EE is listed as a customer of Picopoint.
incomingCall, outgoingCall, missedCall and voiceMail	Call related menus which don’t really have any functionality, given calls aren’t supported with the 4GEE Home Router, but the functionality exists on the Alcatel HH70VH.
ussd	Unstructured Supplementary Service Data. Allows you run one or more USSD codes programmed into the SIM. I tried a few UK USSD codes and they all returned “Not support!Please try again.” suggesting the USSD settings page isn’t implemented. The English translation string for this message would suggest it’s likely something original part of the Alcatel firmware that’s been left in the EE firmware and because the 4GEE Home Router doesn’t support any call functionality.
