SOLVED: Huawei E122 and RB493G

Hi,

I have connected and powered a Huawei E122 to a RB493G. It is showing under resources/usb, and I can get PPP info from it. I have been able to run AT commands on the device.

When I set the PPP interface to connect, it gets stuck on dialing out status. I have enabled debug logging and not much is outputted.

Can you help with this at all please? I see E122 is not on the compatible hardware list, so maybe this is the problem.

log: (changed by admin=enable/disable PPP interface)

try to enable async,debug logs and check what does it say.Maybe one of your init sting values is causing that problem with the connection.

try to enable async,debug logs and check what does it say.Maybe one of your init sting values is causing that problem with the connection.

I enabled async,debug log and this is the result:

Strange how the hangup command ATH returns an error.

Hello,

The correct PPP settings for Huawei E122 on 3 UK Network are default settings when adding a new PPP Client, but press advanced and add these also:

port=usb2 <---change accordingly
data-channel=0
info-channel=2
apn="3internet"
dial-command="ATDT"
dial-on-demand=yes <---change accordingly
add-default-route=no <---change accordingly
use-peer-dns=no <---change accordingly

Many thanks to Uldis at Mikrotik for getting this working.

Tony
