Hi,

i have already got a HUAWEI E169 working on this board but now i have a new one (with a CRC-9 socket).
The “new” stick works perfect on PC:

This is the response of:
ATI
Manufacturer: huawei
Model: E169
Revision: 11.315.05.00.00
IMEI: 359638016383071
+GCAP: +CGSM,+FCLASS,+DS

If i connect this modell to my Mikrotik i got no available channels:
[admin@MikroTik] > system resource usb print

DEVICE VENDOR NAME SPEED

0 1:1 Linux 3.3.5 ehci_hcd RB400 EHCI 480 Mbps
1 1:2 \C3\BF\C3\BF\C3\BF\C3… HUAWEI Mobile 12 Mbps

[admin@MikroTik] > port print
Flags: I - inactive

0 serial0 1 Serial Console auto
1 I usb2 0 9600

So i have no Channels availble… thats a bit sad, cause the E169 is on the compatibiliy list.
Can anybody help me to get this stick working?

The solution was easy thx to the great mikrotik support.

You must disable the virtual CD-ROM on the UMTS-stick.
This can be done with a normal PC (Windows / Linux)

I have used putty on the com port of the stick and did set the CD-ROM to disable with the following command:

AT^U2DIAG=0

Here a link to some specific commands

Happy X-MAS !!!
