USB internet Data card modem on Linux
Here is procedure for connecting USB interent Data card on Linux box.
1)Connect USB Data card on USB port of computer
2) Open a terminal window.
3) Log in as root, i.e. type “su -” sans the quotes and enter the root password.
4) "wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf" It will create a wvdial.conf file in etc directory (Please remove quote ).
5) Then use to edit the file “/etc/wvdial.conf”.(you can use any editor I would recommend gedit. Command would be “gedit /etc/wvdial.conf”).
6) Enter/edit the following text into this file.
[Modem0]
Modem=/dev/ttyUSB0
Baud=115200
SetVolume=0
Dial Command = ATDT
init1=ATZ
init2=AT+CRM=1
FlowControl= Hardware (CRTSCTS)
[Dialer Reliance]
Username= username
Password= password
Phone= #777
Stupid Mode= 1
Inherits = Modem0
7)Disable network connection of your computer
8) Final step is giving the command “wvdial Reliance”, and if everything is proper you should be able to connect to the internet.
For Tata: username and password is “internet” without quote
For Relianace : username and password is phone number of the device
For BSNL modem: its username and password is “cdma”
I used only three USB modem till this time but I hope it will work for all the USB modem.
