(solved) Howto go into internet with usb UMTS modem 0af0:7a01 ?

[floppy]

hello,
I am trying to use that modem with my netbook.

I made according http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/device_reference.txt and diverse search

the switchicon.conf
=======
DefaultVendor=  0x0af0
DefaultProduct= 0x7a01
TargetVendor=   0x0af0
TargetProduct=  0x7a01
TargetClass=    0xff
MessageEndpoint=0x01
MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000601000000000000000000000000000000"
ResponseEndpoint=0x81
#NoDriverLoading=1
CheckSuccess=30
NeedResponse=1
=======

it seems to switch on after "usb_modeswitch -c /pathtofile/switchicon.conf"
The /dev/ttyHS0,1,2,3 exists (I found out no ttyUSBx exists, which seems to be ok for that type of modem).
We see in that case in dmesg
=========

Code: [Select]

...

I had another success for the same FONIC sim card (other modem); here  http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,11509.msg61207.html#msg61207
and it works. So, let use that new modem with my "old" FONIC SIM card from the older thread.

When I use the wvdial conf file
=========
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyHS3
Baud = 460800
PPPD Path = /usr/local/sbin/pppd
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
[Dialer Pin]
Init3 = AT+CPIN=xxxx
[Dialer Fonic]
Phone = *99#
Username = foo
Password = foo
Stupid Mode = 1
Dial Command = ATDT
Init4 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","pinternet.interkom.de"
=========

sudo wvdial pin is fine. The modem change its color to green or blue which mean it is recognized.
sudo wvdial fonic dont work. It stop with ATDT*99#   ERROR. see http://imagebin.org/253013 
Lets search what could be the reason.
Any idea is welcome.
(forget the file in the attachment; its from an older status and I dont know how to delete it)

Hi

I am not an expert of usb modems, I do own one but now use ethernet. Your target string is the same is the first issue

suggest reboot computer without your files nor usb-modeswitch pls

insert usb dongle, I will show mine culling the junk out

Code: [Select]

lsusb
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05c6:f000 Qualcomm, Inc. ---------------------------------------------------------------DEFAULT before the flip
tc@box:~$ eject sr0...............ejects cd drive
tc@box:~$ eject sr1...............ejects usb dongle (in theory not really)
tc@box:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 05c6:9000 Qualcomm, Inc. SIMCom SIM5218 modem----------------------------TARGET after flip

2) In Australia the lights mean

solid red = scanning for network or waiting for PIN
green flashing = GPRS network found but not connected (2G)
blue flashing = 3G network found but not connected
solid green = connected to GPRS
solid blue = connected to 3G

If you don't mind, I think you may have done multiple attempts and got caught up with usbmode switch when its not ALWAYS necessary

so either try my way or fix up this pls

DefaultProduct= 0x7a01
TargetVendor=   0x0af0
TargetProduct=  0x7a01-------------------can't be the same

now back to me, after reading about your /dev here and other post pls post the results of this command

Code: [Select]

ls /dev/ttyU*   (next is my example) /dev/ttyUSB0  /dev/ttyUSB1  /dev/ttyUSB2
ls /dev/H*

ls /dev/serial/by-id  (below is my example after eject command)
usb-Alpha_9000_1234567890ABCDEF-if01-port0  usb-Alpha_9000_1234567890ABCDEF-if03-port0 usb-Alpha_HSDPA_Modem_1234567890ABCDEF-0:0-if00-port0

I am interested in your usb tcz as well. Please ensure you have usb-utils.tcz loaded

good luck

First at all: I am writing from my netbook with the modem. So, it runs.
THANKS to everybody!
I checked in proposal in previous post:
- eject /dev/sr0 .. no effect
- lsusb give the ID in the title of the post. Info: that modem dont change the IDs after a modeswitch according the usb_modeswitch internet page (weird thing)
- ls /dev/ttyU*  gives "no files" but there are ttyHS* after the modeswitch I made in the first post
- ls /dev/H* gives "no files"
- ls /dev/serial/* gives no files
I changed the ttyHS3 in tttyHS5 in wvdial conf file and it works (it was just a try: I started from 0..1..2..3..4..5 and at the last = 5, it runs).

Correct wvdial conf file
=========
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyHS5
Baud = 460800
PPPD Path = /usr/local/sbin/pppd
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
[Dialer Pin]
Init3 = AT+CPIN=xxxx
[Dialer Fonic]
Phone = *99#
Username = foo
Password = foo
Stupid Mode = 1
Dial Command = ATDT
Init4 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","pinternet.interkom.de"
