" Mobinil 3G USB modem H4(|{ " , With (Debian - lenny) linux ; How to configure the prepayed Mobinil Sim in their ZTE MF626 USB 3G modem

I first installed the modeswitch debian (sarge)_ package ... which didn't work with debian lenny. The following steps shows how to correctly set it up:

# Insert the modem.
# Wait until the modem automounts in your Desktop.
# Eject the modem and wait a few seconds until it's available to connect and switched to modem mode(as it's first recognized as a SCSI device).

Open a Terminal and type:

eject /media/ZTEMODEM

Wait 15-20 seconds so the modem can switch from Storage to Modem mode.

--

ls /dev/ttyUSB*

If it is recognized, proceed.


---Now it's time to sniff the used configuration.----

#Using a (USB-sinffer) while modem is connecting to my provider we got the required data in log file.

#Then i had to unhex | grep the contents (unhex.c is a small c code to convert hex to string):

grep '^[0-9a-f]\+:' log.txt |sed -e 's/.*://'|unhex |tr '\r' '\n'|grep -av '^$'

#Below the output

ABORT BUSY
ABORT VOICE
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
ABORT "NO DIAL TONE"
"" AT
OK ATV1
OK ATE0
OK AT&F&D2&C1S0=0
OK ATS7=60S30=0
OK ATS0=0
OK ATDT*99#
CONNECT ""

#Then i created a file in /etc/chatscripts/ called mobinil (or whatever you like), this how i tell pppd (point to point protocol daemon) to dial the ISP's modem and go through any logon sequence required.

#Now Create a new file /etc/ppp/peers/provider containing:

/dev/ttyUSB2 115200
debug
noipdefault
usepeerdns
defaultroute
hide-password
lcp-echo-interval 20
lcp-echo-failure 3
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/mobinil'
noauth
noaccomp
default-asyncmap
maxfail 3
holdoff 10

This is a file that contains characteristics of the remote peer peer-name. Typical characteristics include the remote peer's phone number and chat script for negotiating the link with the peer.

#That's it, now from a terminal type: pon
