Problem in switching ZTE631

eternity007 · Post by **eternity007** » 19 Aug 2011, 08:58

Hi,
I need to run usb_modeswitch on an ARM based embedded device.
Where I installed usb-modeswitch-1.1.9-jimsh.tar.bz2 along with the usb-modeswitch-data package.

Now when, I put my dongle (ZTE631 Modem), it fails to switch.

I have enabled log, which looks like:

Code: Select all

Mode switch has failed. Bye.

fail:
--------------------------------
(end of usb_modeswitch output)


All done, exiting

Somebody please help me why this failure comes?
I tried manually too, usb_modeswitch -c /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/19d2:2000 also with same result.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

NOTE: my device target product id is 2003 which is not present in TargetProductList of config file. Is it the cause? if so, what shall I add to support my device? I have tried adding 2003 in TargetProductList also, but with same result.

The mode switching did in fact happen, but your guess is right, the "2003" is missing in the TargetProductList.

What does the log say when you have added your ID?

Hi Josh,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I had mistaken last time, this time after putting 2003 in the list switch happens perfectly.
(though I an still facing some connection issue, but that another story)

There is one thing I want to know, what all I want to switch USB manually? As per my understanding,

1. libusb
2. usb_modeswitch binary (this I can get by compiling usb_modeswitch.c on my board)
3. the config file for certain modem (like 19d2:2000 in my case)

Is this enough to execute "usb_modeswitch -c path/to/config/file" successfully?

Please let me know this, as my board space is restrictive, need to thin down almost each an everthing.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

In addition to my last post, I have done some steps and faced some problem. Need some suggestion to get out of it.

I have libusb installed, then I compiled usb_modeswitch.c in my board and made the executable.

Now, I have the configuration file same as 19d2:2000 (with added 2003 in targetlist).

So, my steps to connect is:

Code: Select all

1. modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0x2003
2. usb_modeswitch -c /home/me/config/19d2\:2000
3. pppd call gprs

Now, I see all process goes fine in /var/messegs but I do not get internet. (ping google.com fails)

Any sequence or step I missed or any other possible reason for this problem???
it seems weird to me as I could not see any error for this.

Note: gprs(for pppd) script is tested with usb-modeswitch-1.1.9-jimsh and usb-modeswitch-data and found to be working for same modem on same board.

I must have missed your last post somehow ...

To answer your first question: your assumptions are correct. You need only the binary and libusb plus the modem configuration. If you are counting every single byte, then you might save some using the command line parameters of usb_modeswitch instead of a config file.

Regarding your connection problems: if you are issued an IP address it might be a routing problem; if not, it might be a ppp parameter problem. Did you add "debug" to your pppd option file ?
