RB2011UAS-2HnD with Huawei e169 3G USB stick

Wed Nov 06, 2013 8:37 pm

Hi,

I am having trouble getting my Huawei e169 3G (listed on http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Supported ... e#3G_cards) stick working with my RB2011UAS-2HnD.

I tried setting it up using http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Option_Gl ... _USB_Modem however i have some issues:
Code: Select all
[admin@MikroTik] > /system resource usb print
 # DEVICE VENDOR                   NAME                  SPEED
 0 1:1    Linux 3.3.5 ehci_hcd     RB400 EHCI            480 Mbps
 1 1:3    \C3\BF\C3\BF\C3\BF\C3... HUAWEI Mobile         12 Mbps
[admin@MikroTik] > /port print
Flags: I - inactive
 #   NAME                        CHANNELS USED-BY                     BAUD-RATE
 0   serial0                            1 Serial Console              auto
 1   usb2                               3                             9600
According to the wiki i should use the serial-terminal to check if it is working:
Code: Select all
[admin@MikroTik] > /system serial-terminal usb2 channel=0

[Ctrl-A is the prefix key]



[serial line not responding]

^C
^A
q

^C

Welcome back!
[admin@MikroTik] > /system serial-terminal usb2 channel=1

[Ctrl-A is the prefix key]



[serial line not responding]

^Aq


^C

Welcome back!
[admin@MikroTik] > /system serial-terminal usb2 channel=2

[Ctrl-A is the prefix key]



[serial line not responding]


^Cqqq


Welcome back!
So it seems not to be working. Also when i create a ppp interface it goes to "dialing" but nothing happens after that.

Please let me know what i'm doing wrong!

1. Check if number to dial is really *91#, maybe it's *99#?
2. use APN "internet" unless you need to use that specific APN
3. do you have PIN security activated? If so, enter the PIN
4. Try this for modem init string: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"
5. I would use different channels for info and data

Also check if you get any response and what values do you get with ppp info command.

1. You are correct, it is *99# i tried creating a new ppp connection a lot of times so i made a typo once
2. When i use the Huawei on my computer i need to use APN "internet.arta" so i assume that's correct
3. No i do not have a PIN
4. I assume the 'internet' is the APN so i changed this to 'internet.arta'
5. I thought they needed to be the same however i tried all combinations (0+0, 0+1,, 1+0, 1+1, 2+1, 1+2, 2+0, 0+2)

When I enable the interface I see this in the log file:
Code: Select all
19:19:44 async,ppp,info ppp-out2: initializing...
19:19:44 async,ppp,info ppp-out2: waiting for packets...
19:19:44 async,ppp,info ppp-out2: dialing...
After that i can wait for 5 minutes but nothing happens. I also noticed i could not send an sms, it keeps giving me a timeout.

(btw i also restarted (including disconnecting it from the power supply) my router several times)

Unfortunatley i cannot get ppp info at the moment
Code: Select all
[admin@MikroTik] /log> /interface ppp-client info ppp-out2

action timed out - try again, if error continues contact MikroTik support and send a supout file (13)
I'm 99% sure the last time i ran this command i got a reply but it was empty. Probaly when i restart the router it will work again but first I will send the support file to the Mikrotik support.

edit this time i get output:
Code: Select all
[admin@MikroTik] /log> /interface ppp-client info ppp-out2
       modem-status:
         pin-status:
      functionality:
