SOLVED: Fon 2.0n Huawei E353 on "3" network in the UK

[m1bxd]

I cannot work out how to add things on the wiki, so here goes for other lost souls...

Huawei E353 (Cribbed from Huawei E169)

Fonera 2.0n Firmware Version: 2.3.7.0 Beta 1 - Developer's version
You have to install the developer firmware to obtain ssh access with a tool like putty on windows.
Login in as "root" with you web gui password

root@Fonera:/etc# vi /Apps/umtsd.lua

local f = io.open("/tmp/chat_umts", "w")
if f then
f:write("ABORT \"NO CARRIER\"\n"..
"ABORT \"NO DIALTONE\"\n"..
"ABORT \"ERROR\"\n"..
"ABORT \"NO ANSWER\"\n"..
"ABORT \"BUSY\"\n"..
"\"\" \"ATZ\"\n"..
"OK \"ATH\"\n"..
"OK AT+CGDCONT=1,\"IP\",\""..apn.."\"\n"..
"OK \"ATD*99#\"\n".. ########## change from ATD*99***1# (cribbed from E169)
"\"CONNECT\" \"\"")
f:close()



-- some dummy data
local model
local vendor

local data = "/dev/ttyUSB0"
local cmd = "/dev/ttyUSB0" ############# this did read USB1 at the end (cribbed from E169)
local user = ""
local pass = ""
local apn = "3internet" ########### added this, I didn't test it without, but it certainly does work
local pin = "0000" ########### added this (the default PIN), I didn't test it without, but it certainly does work
local since = 0
local mode

Note that on the dashboard the Gateway address is not defined, but all appears to work

Cool, thanks for investigating this. I'll keep your findings in mind for the next umtsd update.

As for the changes you made: The apn name and pin can also be set through the dashboard, instead of hardcoding them in umtsd.lua.

As for the gateway address not being shown, I think that's bug #886, which should be fixed in beta2.
