Hi!
I’ve a Huawei E170 USB UMTS Stick which works fine under Linux (Centos 6). Now I wanted to use this stick with a Mikrotik (RB751G-2HnD, running 6.0rc2) but I keep getting “NO CARRIER” with a configuration that I believe matches my Linux box. The LED is on the USB stick shows that it is booked into the mobile network. (blue blinking)
This is my configuration
[admin@xxxx] /interface ppp-client> print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 name="pppUmtsInternet" max-mtu=1500 max-mru=1500 mrru=disabled port=usb1 data-channel=0 info-channel=0 apn="A1.net" pin="XXXX"
user="ppp@A1plus.at" password="www" profile=default phone="" dial-command="ATDT" modem-init="" null-modem=no dial-on-demand=no
add-default-route=no use-peer-dns=no keepalive-timeout=30 allow=pap,chap,mschap1,mschap2
I see the network …
[admin@xxxx] /interface ppp-client> info pppUmtsInternet
modem-status: ready
pin-status: no password required

But in the log I see following

I also tried following:
- modem-init = “ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0”
- setting data-chanel to 2
Following is my wvdial.conf which works .. where is the difference?
[Dialer a1umts]
Init1 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init2 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","A1.net"
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB1
Baud = 460800
ISDN = 0
Phone = *99***1#
Password = www
Username = ppp@A1plus.at
here the log of the Linux PC

Could it be a power problem? that the stick needs more than the RB751G-2HnD can provide? Any ideas?
