Ppp connection over nmcli

[c.patsianotakis]

Hello everyone,

I have an MC7430 module and I am trying to establish a PPP connection with Linux Mint 19.1. The modem module is connected to a USB3.1 port. Identically I would like to use the nmcli or mmcli tool.
What I’ve tried is to follow the instructions of the AirPrime - HL78xx - Establishing a PPP Session with a Linux Host documentation (renaming the HL78 to MC74) but what happened is to see with nmcli device a ppp0 device which was never connected and after a while it was disappeared. At the /dev directory we can see the ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1 and ttyUSB2 devices.

how about using wvdial in linux?

Please note that PPP dial up is not recommended for this module, you should use MBPL SDK.

Example on establishing data connection by AT!SCACT via MBPL R20 driver

Here is an example to establish data connection by AT!SCACT via MBPL R20 driver: Module: WP7609 FW: R13 MBPL: R20 PC Environment: Ubuntu 18 need to install the MBPL R20 driver for qmi_wwan and qcserial (MBPL_Drivers_USB_R20_ENG1-src.tar.gz) avoid the Ubuntu changing the network name: ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link sudo apt-get install libqmi-utils sudo apt-get install udhcpc now insert the USB to PC sudo chmod 777 /sys/class/net/wwan0/qmi/raw_ip …

Thank you jyijyi very much for your reply. We need to send IoT modules to countries where QMI is not supported as our SIM provider tells us and we should change to a PPP solution. I will try to test with wvdial.
