Micromax 3g Dongle

[Gaby Zenz]

Iwrote a guide to using Sakis3g and a Huawei E303 dongle to provide internet on the Pi. It takes you through how to get usb_modeswitch running too - I had to do some research to get the correct information for usb_modeswitch.conf :)

Once you'll have the right parameters, you should be able to script the sakis3g using ./sakis3g start. If it does not work at first time, it will help you to provide the right arguments according to the right parameters.

Are you a Micromax dongle user ? Its very irritating that every time you connect to the internet and a home page of Micromax site opens and it will take 0.5-1 mb memory usage.

Hi Surish,

Thanks a ton for this post.

I am able to connect now in Ubunto 12.10 with your procedure.

But I am facing one problem. Its only connecting in EDGE where I have 3G connection.

I am able to connect the same 3G sim with a different device of ZTE which connected with out any manual config and connected in 3G.

Could you please help me what the configuration I need to do so that it will connect through 3G.

Thanks,

simanchal

For Ubuntu 12.10:

The Mentioned steps worked Effectively better in Ubuntu 12.04. For the latest Version of Ubuntu 12.10 after all these steps you have to execute a additional command on the terminal.

Hi Akhand. U r welcome.

The root password and admin password both are different.

Open the terminal and Use the command

sudo passwd (to change the existing password or create a new password for root user.)

Note:

U r using the sudo command first time in the terminal it asks for the sudo password(admin password).

Provide ur admin password, after that it ask for the new password for the root user and also the conformation

Refer the Note in the 3rd Step.

For further Clarification drop a comment.

But, you also said that to run the echo code automatically we have to add it on startup file, but I did not wanted to do anything to startupfile in fear that it will slowed up my ubuntu booting. So I skipped it and restart my pc.

After finishing all the steps use the command: sudo usb_modeswitch -V 1c9e -P 9605 -S 3 -R to reset the mode, Change the value after -V and -P if differs those are the vendor and the product id. Make sure that u got a success message on executing the above mentioned command. Use that echo command again. if the same problem exists drop a comment ?

After Reset you modem configure the modem as i explained in the tutorial. U can see the New Broad Band Connection in the notification bar. I you cant unplug and re insert the modem again wait for a minute. Still facing Problem drop a comment.

Thank you so much. your method worked even for micromax 353G data card in ubuntu 12.10.

A word of caution: dont copy codes directly from the webpage. even the commands for terminal. It caused some strange errors. Type the codes on your own everywhere.

I wish to know whether u changed the message content for MMX 353G, I tried the same of 352G it shows Edge connection only and even on windows I can only find edge connection please help me in reverting back to the original configuration of MMX 353G.

Hi, I have bought this USB dongle to access internet and want to enable its hot spot (wifi) zone as to access internet from any other device after making it hot spot device which can be connected to any USB adapter as wifi dongle with authentication enable i.e. username and password.

Now i want to enable its hot spot zone as i have setup its soft AP application from its website to create my own hotspot (wifi) zone. Please help me in setting up hot spot (wifi) zone as to enable me access internet on other devices when ever i connect this data card through USB adapter and also encrypt it with username and password as to restrict other unwanted devices to access the internet services from the data card.
