[asterisk-users] Problems using chan_sebi and Huawei E169G

[Martin Stubbs]

Hi,

Having seen the messages on the dev list a couple of weeks ago about chan_sebi I thought I would try to get it going on my system.

I am using 1.6.1.4 so I first upgraded the driver to work with 1.6. I think it is mostly correct and the bit I have wrong shouldn't be causing me the problems I am seeing. If your are interested my chan_sebi 1.4 to 1.6 patch is at http://www.mycrofters.com/sites/default/files/chan_sebi.diff .

The USB modem is a Huawei E169G.

When I load the driver I get the expected responses

    -- Modem Device huawei1 initialised and ready.

The response to the +COPS command gives the FFFFF response as my modem does not seem to know the network names. I also needed to increase the storage size for this field to prevent data corruption.

The problem is I can't dial out or accept incoming calls.

If I connect to the USB modem with minicom and issue the ATDxxxxxxx; command with a semicolon at the end to signify a voice call I get the same error response.

Could someone else with this type of USB modem tell me if that command should work in minicom?

Thanks
