Hello I have attached the installation manual for the USB with some information related to Linux installation, about how the configuration script is to edited and some trouble shooting information.
*Linux connection for Internet * *1. *Log in in the root user. *2. *Connect the USB modem to PC *3. *Run terminal in Linux *4. *type following command. wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf *5. *wvdialconf will detect the modem, its maximum baud rate, and a good initialization string and will generate or update the wvdial configuration file based on this information. *6. *A configuration file will be created as below [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyACM0 Baud = 460800 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ISDN = 0 Modem Type = USB Modem ; Phone = <Phone number> ; Username = <Username> ; Password = <Password> *7. *But the user still need to edit /etc/wvdial.conf to specify the phone number, login name, and password of your internet account in order for wvdial to work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Page 14* Troubleshooting *26* Linux *25* *8. *User should edit the configuration file as given below. [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyACM0 Baud = 460800 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ISDN = 0 Modem Type = USB Modem Phone = #777 Username = internet Password = internet stupid mode = 1 *How to connect Internet* *1. *Open the terminal. *2. *Type wvdial and press enter. Hope this helps in trouble shooting the issue. Sivasubramanaian Muthusamy >On Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 7:18 PM, Sivasubramanian Muthusamy < isolatedn at gmail.com> wrote: >Hello Moinak, >3.
