I have a trouble with some USB 3G modem (different models/brands). After many days (in which the router is power on /off many times from and operator) the 3G USB modem go in "disconnect" state and it doesn't reconnect also if I reboot the device nor if I power on/off the device (RB751U-2hnD).
I have tried many methods for to unlock the modem (AT commands of reset / disable RF circuit / disable cdrom mode ) but none of this is working .
The only method for to restart the 3g connection is to go into the web interface >ppp-client , select the ppp connection, disable > apply > enable > apply. Another method is to insert the USB 3G modem into a laptop/pc and start the operator connection software.
I have thinking "I write a script that if there is not connection, execute the operation automatically". But I have tried to enable/disable the connection from ssh console, but here is not working. My question is: Someone know the difference of the enable/disable command from the web interface and the ssh console? What happen to the router or modem when I press enable/disable into the web interface that is different from ssh console?
Thanks.

I have many other devices, with same configuration, with this issue.
I have seen that the issue happens when the user don't use the 3g connection for 1 week or more (!?!).
I confirm that the only manner for to unlock the 3G connection is from web interface --> ppp-client --> configuration --> disable ---> enable ---> APPLY.
This is a section of ssh-console, at the first connection after the issue:
Code: Select all
[admin@alterinibus] /interface ppp-client> disable 0
[admin@alterinibus] /interface ppp-client> enable 0
[admin@alterinibus] /interface ppp-client> monitor 0
status: disconnected
[admin@alterinibus] /interface ppp-client> print

[admin@alterinibus] /interface ppp-client> enable 0
[admin@alterinibus] /interface ppp-client> disable 0
[admin@alterinibus] /interface ppp-client> info 0
failure: Unable to acquire port!
Then, after I press enable --> disable --> APPLY, from web interface
Code: Select all
[admin@alterinibus] /interface ppp-client> info 0

My question is: What happens when I press "APPLY", that the ssh-console doesn't do? Which commands send to router the APPLY key?
Please someone reply this post.... is very important for the customer credibility of my businness/company.
Regards to all.
