Hi guys,

I have a problem with the modem MC8795V, this device is installed on

OS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS  
Kernel: 3.2.0-23-generic  
Driver v.1.7.50

When I run the command “ati” by minicom in the /dev/ttyUSB4 gives me the following reply:

* * *

ati  
Sierra Wireless, Incorporated  
MC8795V  
APP1

## OK

In other times the command ATi send me more information about dispositvo:

ati  
Manufacturer: Sierra Wireless, Incorporated  
Model: MC8795V  
Revision: K2\_0\_7\_46CAP C: / WS / FW / K2\_0\_7\_46CAP / MSM6290 / SRC 2010/12/13 22:29:01  
IMEI: 355310038197335  
IMEI SV: 25  
FSN: CHJ2904329110  
3GPP Release 6

- GCAP: + CGSM, + FCLASS, + DS

## OK

Another thing I’ve seen is that there are more commands than just answer me with “OK” as in the case of “AT!GSTATUS?” command?

Anyone know if this is normal or if I have to do something to get more information modem?

Best Regards.

PS: Sorry for my bad English.

Hi,

The clue is in the response from the ATI command where it responds with APP1, this inidcates that it in the end point intended for use with a dial up connection and as a result does not have a full AT parser operational on it hence it just answers OK to most of the commands without giving the expected response.

I suspect on your system that the full AT parser is going to be on /dev/ttyUSB3, run minicom against this and see what happens.

Regards

Matt

## – Get the modem device ttyUSB –

root@ubuntu:~# dmesg | grep ttyUSB  
[442.374716] usb 1-2: Sierra USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB0  
[442.377216] usb 1-2: Sierra USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB1  
[442.379329] usb 1-2: Sierra USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB2  
[442.381982] usb 1-2: Sierra USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB3

[442.385138] usb 1-2: Sierra USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB5  
[442.386742] usb 1-2: Sierra USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB6

Well I try connect to /dev/ttyUSB4 again with the “ATI” command and here have the last result (a few info)

😃 With the /dev/ttyUSB3 it’s works!!! but the device isn’t connect to internet provider configuration, now I connect to internet provider with NetworkManager.

The /dev/ttyUSB3 is locked when I condected with the network configuration ☹ .

Do you know if exist other form for getting that information? (With the ttyUSB5/ttyUSB6 it’s same result ttyUSB4)

The problem you have here is that you are connecting the PPP session using /dev/ttyUSB3 (which has the full parser), you should do it using /dev/ttyUSB4, 5 or 6.

Alternatively you could use DirectIP. On /dev/ttyUSB3 create the profile with the APN you want to use with the at+cgdcont command then send at!scact=1,1, this activates the network interface.

Regards

Matt

## at!scact=1,1

In the modem when I send the command (at+cgdcont?) in the memory have 2 config, the first is the correct with the SIM in the modem.

When send the command (at!scact=1,1) the screen is frozen and I can’t sent other command, also I tryed connect with other console for the next ttyUSB4 but had the same result that ttyUSB3 (frozen).

After this change I can see:

1.- The light of the modem is on and not blinked.

## 2.- I dont have a new interface + ip (modem):
