[SOLVED] Setup and Configuration of Ericsson F3507g WWAN Card

[sog]

@guhl: ah, thanks. i hadn't known that, since none of the previous scripts i've used have asked for or required a PIN. but i should be ok, since i only tried to feed it the incorrect PIN once. that's a big help.

now i just need to determine what the correct PIN is, as i have all information (EMEI, etc) for the device except that. i'm told the default for Cingular devices (which this is) is 1234, but if i only have two more attempts before the SIM is locked, i'm hesitant to experiment.

incidentally, the card is being used successfully on a T500 using the following instructions from Bob Lees [see http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2008/09/2...comment-480392:

You need to load the cdc_acm module and the device appears as ttyACM[0-2]. Turn it on with at+cfun=1 and use umtsmon to control it

hope this helps.

Just as background information

ATDT*99***1#

99 is the special code for dialing a data-connection. The 1 stands for data-profile 1. You could use the same if you connect a mobile phone for instance via bluetooth.

i have a few questions concerning the Ericsson F3507g card:

does this card support GPS and if so is it working under ubuntu?
is it necessary to compile a kernel from kernel.org to get it working?

the answer appears to be yes. see the link here.

the answer appears to be yes. see the link here.

nice and to get the card working under intrepid i have to patch the ubuntu kernel or do i have to get a kernel from kernel.org?

[sog]

i do not have the card "working," per se, because i have been unable to determine my SIM PIN, but i can activate the device and communicate with it using the stock Intrepid kernel.

Hi, this all looks quite promising. But I'm still not getting it right. Maybe someone can help:
I'm using the latest Intrepid Ubuntu and the correct module (_not_ patched) seems to come up fine automatically:

martin@martin-laptop:~$ lsmod | grep cdc_acm
cdc_acm                23456  0 
usbcore               148848  9 zaurus,cdc_ether,usbnet,cdc_acm,btusb,usbhid,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd

martin@martin-laptop:~$ ls /dev/ttyACM*
/dev/ttyACM0  /dev/ttyACM1  /dev/ttyACM2

martin@martin-laptop:~$ cu -l /dev/ttyACM0
Connected.
AT+CFUN=1
OK

*ESTKSMENU: BASE Dienste,0,3
1,SMS Info
2,Sprach Info
3,Multimedia


*EMWI: 1,0

+PACSP0

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.eplus.de"
OK

now, when I type "ATDT*99***1#", I get this (the command itself gets cleared):

~�}#�!}!}!} }9}#}%�#}%}(}"}'}"}"}&} } } } }%}&��}6Yڠ~

NO CARRIER

I don't really know what the last two commands mean or if I need to adjust them to my provider. Where can I find any information about that data? Or, where did you, guhl, find them?

guten Abend

New Standing [SOLVED for the UMTS part]:

The important thing is that the GSM-Module has to be turned on by the AT+CFUN=1 command because it will not respond to any other commend without this. You can use AT+CFUN=0 to turn it off and save energy.
So put this in the init settings of the software that you use to connect.
?

Hi,

does somebody know where I could change the init script for the networkmanager in intrepid?

Kind regards

Andreas

I can't help you on the NetworkManager front - as I haven't seen anybody get that to work yet, but there's a UMTSMON method here:

If you're comfortable with the command line, I've written up a HowTo using instructions from a Thinkwiki.org user here:

Enjoy.
