Troubleshooting the USB Modem 452

Modem not connecting to the network.

Action:

Try a different USB modem or search the internet linux community for possible updates to

the usb_modeswitch configuration file for that vendor and product id. The USB modem

may also be defective. Contact Perle support if there is no information on the internet

pertaining to your USB modem. When searching the internet look for “usb_modeswitch

vvvv:pppp” (vvvv is the vendor Id and pppp is the product Id from output above).

Output:

Manufacturer: manufacturer name

Product: product name

Vendor id: id

Stor. Prod Id: id

In database?: No

“Failed to initialize USB modem. Device configuration not found in our list of supported

USB modems. Please try another USB modem device or contact Perle customer support

with the device information above.

Action:

The information for this USB modem is not in our database. This could be due to the fact

that this is a new model introduced after this version of software was issued. Try a different

USB modem or search the internet linux community for a usb_modeswitch configuration

file for that vendor and product id. Contact Perle support if there is no information on the

internet pertaining to your USB modem. When searching the internet look for

“usb_modeswitch vvvv:pppp” (vvvv is the vendor Id and pppp is the product Id from output

above).

Output:

Manufacturer: manufacturer name

Product: product name

Vendor id: id

“USB modem appears to be functioning normally. If connection problems persist, please

review your USB modem configuration (APN, PIN #, PHONE #).”

Action:

As far as the driver can tell, the USB modem is functioning correctly. At this point, if you

are not able to establish a connection with the network, the source of the problem could be

the usb modem configuration. Check your configuration parameters and ensure it matches

the information given to you by the network provider. See Configuring a USB Modem
