Hardware MikroTik hardware general

Hi!
I have a problem with RB411U + Sierra Wireless MC8795V or MC8790.
The routerOS v5.0beta6 is not able to set SIM PIN.
PIN Status: waiting for primary PIN

I must type it manually in :
/system serial-terminal usb3 channel=3
at+cpin=XXXX
Ctrl-A + Q

Then modem connected OK. Or I must use sim card without PIN lock.

Modem Revision: K2_0_7_19AP C:/WS/FW/K2_0_7_19AP/MSM6290/SRC 2009/10/26 17:26:12
Previous version of routerboard OS the same problem.

The modem MC8781 works fine.
I try modem init: at+cpin=1111 and at+cfun=1, but not successfull.
How will be look script to put AT commands in /system serial-terminal usb3 channel=3 ?

What can I do for automaticlly start up GSM connection on card with PIN lock?

Thanks for replay.
Best Regards

Hi

I have a RB433AUH ROS V4.11 with a Huawei E160G usb modem and I have exactly the same problem.
I really don’t want to remove the PIN in case the modem is stolen.

I also tried Huawei E180 with same result. Looks like a bug to me.

I have also tried to add at+cpin=XXXX to the init string without success.

Did you find a way to make this work?

Hi Tony,

I didn’t find the resolution yet.
Problem still exist. I have just buy another modem MC8780.
Thanks for replay.

Hi,

I have similar experiences with many USB modems.
While it is possible to enter the PIN code in the ppp-client, most of the time unlocking the SIM does not work.

Another problem is that ROS tries to enter PIN every time the ppp-client connects.
If the SIM is already unlocked, the Modem returns ERROR, and ROS cancels the connect attempt.

Because of that I usually remove the SIM PIN from the devices we use.

Not solved yet, so sad … :frowning:

Hi,

I had similar problem in RouterOS 5.6.
Solved by typing PIN with quotation marks: “XXXX”
