Huawei E3372h-15

Reach Module / M+ / M2 Hardware integration
1

I have the ZTE MF823 without D. Maybe that’s the problem.

By the way, i have ordered another LTE Modem (Huawei E3372h-153) and checked the behavior on reach. With this modem i have no more SNR-Crashes but actually i didn’t could get a connection to my NTRIP-Caster or to the Internet. First i have to make more investigations, to check if i can get it running.
The Huawei can be used as a virtual Ethernet device (hilink-mode) or as a Modem via AT-Commands ( non-hilink-mode). This could be done by flashing different Fimwares.
Can you tell me if it makes sense to test the stick in non-hilink-mode ?

you don’t necessarily need to flash your modem;
wvdial would be your choice if you want to use it in non hilink mode;

easier (and safer; bricking the modem is definitely possible - #badexperience) would be this:

Hi Benedikt,

thank you for the Link, found it very helpful !
But i still didn’t get it to work. Here are my logs what reach says:

Do you see any troubles ?

plug in your modem to your pc first, go to 192.168.8.100 in your browser and configure it to make sure it is able to go online;

you might want to route your ntrip’s server adress to 192.168.8.100, if you are online; don’t know if usb0 ethernet is being prefered by default (because actually the 192.168.8.100 IP shows you are succesfully connected to huawei e3372)

Just plugged it in my laptop to check connection.
Internet connection is ok. The Web-GUI is on IP 192.168.8.1
I tried to ping 192.168.8.100 and get also a response. But there is no html-site available on this IP.
