If you have modem Smart ZTE C261 however you still confuse how to connect on you r Ubuntu.

In this post, I will share how to run your modem manually. Basicly, yo u have to configure two files they are: wvdial.config and options. To avoid the problems when you do the mistakes, better you backup those files. Let s follow the following steps: 1. Check the modem has detected or not. If not, run the following command on you r terminal. $lsusb Output Bus 001 Device gy Corp. Bus 001 Device Bus 005 Device Bus 004 Device Bus 004 Device Bus 004 Device Bus 003 Device Bus 002 Device 005: ID 152d:2329 JMicron Technology Corp. / JMicron USA Technolo 001: 001: 025: 008: 001: 001: 001: ID ID ID ID ID ID ID 1d6b:0002 1d6b:0001 15d9:0a37 05c6:9004 1d6b:0001 1d6b:0001 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation Linux Foundation Unknown Mouse Qualcomm, Inc.

Note : Bus 004 Device 008: ID 05c6:9004 Qualcomm, Inc. This line indicates that the modem has been detected. 2.Install the following packages: $ sudo apt-get install wvdial libuniconf4.6 libwvstreams4.6-base libwvstreams4.6 -extras libxplc0.3.13 3. Configure wvdial.config $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf Then replace the content of wvdial.config with the following sources: [Dialer smart] Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Modem = /dev/ttyUSB1 New PPPD = yes Phone = #777 Username =smart Password =smart Ask Password = 0 Dial Command = ATDT Stupid Mode = 1 Compuserve = 0 Force Address = Idle Seconds = 300 DialMessage1 = DialMessage2 = ISDN = 0 Auto DNS = 1 4. Configure options $sudo gedit /etc/ppp/options Then replace the content of options with the following sources:

asyncmap 0 noauth crtscts modem proxyarp noipx persist idle 1000000 5. Connection the modem to Ubuntu. $sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x05c6 product=09004 Note: If you are curious to know where I got vendor and product from? Just type lsusb on your terminal. 6. Dialing to internet: $sudo wvdial smart After run the above command you will get the output as the following: > WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 > Cannot get information for serial port. > Initializing modem. > Sending: ATZ OK > Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 OK > Modem initialized. > Idle Seconds = 300, disabling automatic reconnect. > Sending: ATDT#777 > Waiting for carrier.
