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!
