USB Connect LPWA based on Qualcomm Chipsatz supporting QMI interface. QMI is Qualcomm's proprietary protocol for using Virtual Ethernet on the USB-Connect LPWA to establish IP connectivity with the mobile operator.
The following documentation describes how to configure the required applications: Network Manager, Modem Manager, libqmi.
Step 1: Stop and disable dhcpcd.service
| Code Block |
|---|
sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd.service sudo systemctl stop dhcpcd.service |
Step 2: Start and enable the following common packages the next time you boot to ensure proper modem operation and to avoid interference.
| Code Block |
|---|
sudo systemctl enable ModemManager.service sudo systemctl start ModemManager.service sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager.service sudo systemctl start NetworkManager.service |
Step 3: Set up your mobile network by changing the APN address to your own.
| Code Block |
|---|
sudo nmcli connection add type gsm ifname cdc-wdm0 con-name mymodem apn internettest.m2mportaliot.de |
Step: 4: Connect to the mobile network
| Code Block |
|---|
sudo nmcli connection up id mymodem |
Step 5: Restart operating system
| Code Block |
|---|
sudo reboot |
Step 6: Check the assigned IP address and test the connection
| Code Block |
|---|
ifconfig wwan0 |
Step 7: To test the connection
