I try to setup an Internet connection on an OrangePi IoT 2G board with build-in modem. The at-commands are working fine, even connect and start pppd, but one second later it disconnects and therefore ppp daemon dies with exit code=1. According man pacges exit code=1: "Pppd has detached, or otherwise the connection was successfully established and terminated at the peer's request."

The output of wvdial:

--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ

Copy code

My /etc/wvdial.conf:

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem Type = Analog Modem
ISDN = 0
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = AT+CFUN=1
Modem = /dev/modem0
Baud = 460800
Auto Reconnect = on
#Dial Attemps = 2
[Dialer congstar]
Carrier Check = no
Init3 = AT+EGMR=1,7,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Init4 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.t-mobile"
Stupid Mode = 1
Phone = *99#
Dialer Command = ATD
Dial Attemps = 2
Username = tm
Password = tm

Copy code

To prevent using the IMEI=000000000000000 I set it with the at-command "AT+EGMR=1,7,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" to a valid one, but this don't help.
The carrier I'm using is Congstar by T-Mobile Germany.

What could be the problem, any idea?

I found a solution - in case anybody else once have the same issue:
1. Use ppp command pon/poff which is much easier to handle and shows better logs
2. Use E-Plus carrier instead of T-Mobile because it simply works with this set of AT-commands. Maybe there are other AT-commands needed by T-Mobile and it works too.

I’m impressed, I must tell you. Very rarely do I come across a blog that’s both informative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve right from the beginning. Your blog is important, the issue is something that not enough people are talking intelligently about. Star Wars movie news
