Greetings everyone,
I bought a Pantech UML290 for Verizon's LTE service yesterday and have been
attempting to get it working with pfSense 2.0RC3 since then. This morning I've
been able to get connection established, but something in pfSense immediately
terminates it, citing an invalid argument. This is my procedure and what I've
had to do:
Configuration (with UML290 connected):
Comment out this line in /usr/local/mpd.script: set $modemCmd
"+CGDCONT=$APNum, \"IP\", \"$APN\"
Go through this procedure here:
http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Configuring_3G_modems
Enter Username: [Number]@vzw4g.com
Enter Password: vzw
Phone Number: *99***3#
Add PPP interface to WAN/OPT1 and leave interface disabled.
Procedure:
Connect UML290 to a Windows box running VZAM and establish connection there.
Remove from Windows box and connect to pfSense box.
Enable WAN/OPT1 interface.
I then see the following in the logs (taken from both WAN and OPT1 association
tries)(also attached):

If I attempt to connect again after this without removing the modem and
attaching it to a Windows box, it says that the modem isn't responding to AT
commands. I assume this is because the modem maintains the established
connection but pfSense has terminated the PPP session. If I restart the
pfSense box and attempt to connect again without first connecting the UML290 to
a Windows box, I see the error "invalid init string" in the logs.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work?
Chris
