Hi!
I’m trying to harness Huawei E3372. I bought it with a hi-link firmware, but flashed it into a stick mode (I need some local devices to be accessed from outside).
Initially it worked fine, I was able to pull “Info” from the modem, change and save its settings, etc. Now, for an unknown reason - I can’t do that. When changed a SIM card, I needed to set a new PIN, but I only saw an error message:
Couldn’t change Interface - no such info channel! (8)
Also, I’m unable to get device “Info”: Couldn’t start - Unable to acquire port! (6)
It’s important to note, that the device is working, transmitting data, etc. (I’m using it to post this).
- EDIT: some further information:
[admin@MikroTik] > /interface ppp-client print

Unable to get info or disable:

… but it’s working somehow!

Of course I’ve tried to reset the router, but it didn’t help.
Then I’ve disconnected USB device and I was able to change setting, so I set new a PIN, attached the modem with a new SIM card, and it’s fully functional again.

Don’t know what to think about it… What happened?
Any advice?
Thanks!
