The 4G Systems XSStick W1209 presents as a mass storage device with vendor ID "2fd4" and device ID "4000". The Windows tool switches it to modem mode, which presents as vendor ID "2fd4" and device ID "4001". This mode switch can be replicated with

Code: Select all

usb_modeswitch -v 2fd4 -p 4000 -V 2fd4 -P 4001 -M "55534243606566058000000080000606f50402527600000000000000000000"

In modem mode, the W1209 is an RNDIS virtual ethernet device which offers an IP address in the 192.168.123.0/24 network via DHCP and has an HTTP web interface at 192.168.123.254.

HTH.

The W1209 can be turned into an MBIM device with the same USB message as the W1208. It then changes its device ID from $4000 to $4004. This should be preferred due to RNDIS being deprecated.

Thank you. It works for me.

Modemmanger works well with it. (Telekom, Vodafone, Telefonica - all with IPv6)

Thank you for providing this information about the XSStick W1209 4G System. It would be useful to know that the device can be switched to modem mode using the usb_modeswitch incredibox tool. The HTTP web interface at 192.168.123.254 can be used to manage the device's settings or to access other features.
