How to connect to Internet using Franklin CDU-680DOrA Mobile Broadband USB Modem

The following steps are needed to have this modem working with XO:

1. Insert the modem into any USB slot on XO. The device will be shown as a removable storage on XO.

2. Copy the following files to a directory on XO.

Here [1] you will find the necessary components that include:

  • Packages

1. Wvdial : wvdial-1.54.0-5.2.2.1.i386.rpm 2. PPP: ppp-2.4.4-2.i386.rpm 3. Libwvstreams: libwvstreams-4.2.2-3.fc7.i386.rpm

[2] and [3] are the dependencies for installing [1].

  • Files

connect, itfchg, cdu680config, execute.sh, run.sh

These are needed for installing the drivers for this particular modem.

3. Run the run.sh script so that the device is recognized as a modem.

4. You can test that ppp0 is added as an interface by writing route -n command on the Linux console.

5. If it is there, you can start using Internet on XO!
