I am trying to configure a connection on debian server
nmcli c add type gsm ifname cdc-wdm0 con-name myVPN apn vzwinternet user user1 password HCG2
nmcli c modify myVPN connection.autoconnect yes
nmcli r wwan on
nmcli c up myVPN
Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connection.
How to solve this ?
also how to enable port forwarding as well ?
which module are you using?
does this mean it cannot find cdc-wdm0?
I am using EM7455. I am able to see cdc-wdm0 when running mmcli -m 0 command
Thanks,
Krishnadas
You can see this document on how to establish data connection:
I tried AT!SCACT= 1,1, but when looking for status at!scact?
at!scact?
!SCACT: 1,0
are you using Verizon FW?
is your username/password correct?
Have you setup correct APN in AT+CGDCONT?
Does the module register network in AT!GSTATUS?
I am using generic firmware
Yes, I have a question - how to add username and password, I added them on nmcli c add type gsm ifname cdc-wdm0 con-name myVPN apn lapn2.com user user1 password HCG2 command but on AT command I gave only the APN name - at+cgdcont = 1,“IPV4V6”,“lapn2.com”. Do I need to provide username and password with AT commands ?
AT!GSTATUS? provides the following status
!GSTATUS:
Current Time: 126947 Temperature: 33
Reset Counter: 2 Mode: ONLINE
System mode: LTE PS state: Attached
LTE band: B3 LTE bw: 20 MHz
LTE Rx chan: 1617 LTE Tx chan: 19617
LTE CA st
Why you are not using Verizon FW?
for username/password, you can try the connection manager in MBPL SDK, OR you can try this AT command:
because, my connection is not Verizon, I am using EE UK
is this "vzwinternet " verizon APN?
Sorry, I changed that before posting to the forum.
I am using EE UK SIM with generic FW ( as EE FW is not available) and see my response for the AT commands.
at+cgdcont = 1,"IPV4V6","lapn2.com"
OK
AT$QCPDPP = 1,1,HCG2,user1
OK
AT+COPS?
+COPS: 0,0,"EE",7
OK
AT!SCACT=1,1

did you follow the word document to type the following to allocate WDS client ID?
sudo qmicli --device=/dev/cdc-wdm0 --wds-noop --client-no-release-cid
Nope, I haven’t. I thought it’s for external usb type modems. ( I am using an OnLogic device with EM7455 installed internally) I can try that.
yes, also you need to install the driver.
Another way is to use the MBPL SDK connection manager application.
Thanks for that, I can try the SCACT command first, if it’s working I can try MBPL SDK.
I think so as I saw in the option list of the application, we can create and modify the profile :
Please select one of the following options or press <Enter> to exit:
1. Start data session
2. Start Multiple PDN data session
3. Stop the currently active data session
4. Display all the profiles stored on the device
5. Display the settings for a particular profile stored on the device
6. Create a profile on the device
7. Modify the settings of an existing profile stored on the device
8. Delete a profile stored on the device
9. Enable QOS Event
10. Disable QOS Event
11. Request QOS Expaded
12. Get QOS Information
13. Get Packet Statistics
When I am checking I got connected to my gsm
user@sgsonlogic02:~$ sudo nmcli con

Thanks for that.
Do you happened to know how to enable port forwarding ? can I access (SSH) this machine from my vpn end?
I managed to get that working. Thank you very much for your time and support.
