Cannot launch 3g connection: usb2:0: setting PIN failed

januszzz · February 8, 2011, 12:20pm

Hi, I’m using 4.16 and Dell 5530 modem.

/system resource usb print

Why cant I connect adn get

instead?

I do have the following output:

echo: async,error,critical usb3:0: setting PIN failed

This sucks, as the pin is right and it just works with this exactly modem.

Funny thing is that I’ve connected once (I got proper IP address somehow), but I cannot repeat this.

With what shall I continue now?

I just didn’t belive that entering PIN with standard command doesn’t work on this exactly model. So I’ve tried minicom and all seems fine:

Welcome to minicom 2.4

So it is probably another bug here.

I suppose you have to use modem-init to handle pin,

needs special modem-init (to handle PIN use at+cpin=XXXX)

januszzz · February 9, 2011, 12:04pm

I got workaround! Apparently, this exactly modem accepts at+cpin in double quotes on this exactly platform (Mikrotik/RouterOS), so I’ve tested this weird way (notice: pin="“1234"”):

/interface ppp-client print

      password="internet" profile=default phone="*99#" dial-command="ATDT" modem-init="ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0" null-modem=no

echo: async,debug usb2:0: rcvd
echo: async,debug usb2:0: rcvd +CPIN: READY
echo: async,debug usb2:0: sent ATDT*99#

Anyway, it still don’t want to connect for some reasons:

Any suggestions? maybe I was only told it really works with RouterOS?
