29.4.2 Monitoring UMTS/3G Network
To connect to an existing network, select Connection > Connect or click the Connect
with default profile icon in the toolbar. After the connection has been established, the
UMTSmon main window shows the signal strength and the traffic, depending on the
type of card you use. Not all cards are able to monitor the signal strength automatically
during an existing network connection.
NOTE: Approximate Total Traffic Values
Note that the Total traffic values in the main window are only approximated
values and do not necessarily reflect the real values. If you have a contract with
your provider based on data volumes transferred, take care not to exceed your
volume.
To stop the connection, select Connection > Disconnect or click the Disconnect icon
in the toolbar.
29.4.3 Troubleshooting
If you have difficulties establishing a connection or running UMTSmon, proceed ac-
cording to the following list.
Is the UMTS card device accessible for the user currently logged in and does it belong
to the dialout group?
UMTS cards connected to your computer are usually listed as /dev/ttyUSB*
or as /dev/noz0.
Check the access permissions for those devices with ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
or ls -l /dev/noz0. If root is still listed as owner and the device does not
belong to the dialout group, set the current user and the dialout group as
owner (root permission needed) with one of the following commands:
chown user.dialout /dev/ttyUSB*
chown user.dialout /dev/noz0
