■ Requirement : How to configure tata photon on linux machine
■ OS Environment : Linux[RHEL, Centos]
■ Application:wvdial
■ Implementation Steps :
1. Execute below command :
$ wvdial
I received following messages :
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
^RSSILVL: 60

ATDT#777
ERROR
--> Invalid dial command.
I got the above error message during executing the "wvdial" command to configure the Tata Photon+ EC1261 USB modem with the RHEL6 linux machine. The error usually throws if your modem isn't activated. You need to first activate it. I spent 3-4 hrs to activate it on my linux machine but I was unable to do that since I needed to dial *228. But there was no such option on linux either at GUI or at command prompt. So, my basic concept is I have to activate it at the windows machine. That I did on my friend's machine. Then I just connect the modem to my laptop. Then executed "wvdial" command. It was automatically connected the modem and it had shown two DNS IP addresses. I added those IP in the /etc/resolve.cof file. Then I successfully browsed the google.com and other sites.

2. Config file looks like below :
$ cat /etc/wvdial.conf

Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
; Phone =

; Username =
; Password =
;Phone = 934XXXXXXX
Phone = #777
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB2
Username = XXXX
Password = XXXX
Baud = 9600
Dial Command = ATDT
New PPPD = yes
stupid Mode = 1

Hi Sreein,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. I am using Red Hat linux 6. It has capability to automatically detect the device and it doesn't matter which device it is.
Thanks,
Kamal
Or you use Networkmanager, which will do all of this for you, automatically.
