Installing Drivers for Non-UIP HSPA+ Devices

HSPA+ Device Driver Installation

Installing on Linux

The Linux OS includes a generic USB driver for modems supporting CDC/ACM.
Multi-Tech tested the following Linux operating systems and all used port ttyACM0. If your system has another
device using this port, your port numbers may be different.
■
Ubuntu 13.04
■ Debian 6.0.6
■
Fedora 15
■ openSUSE 11.4
■
CentOS 6.0
To install the device on any Linux Kernel with CDC/ACM support, connect USB cable from the device to a USB port
on your computer. For most recent Linux distributions, there are no drivers to install.
If the operating system recognizes the modem, seven devices are created (assuming no other ACM values have
been assigned):
■
/dev/ttyACM0
■
/dev/ttyACM1
■
/dev/ttyACM2
■
/dev/ttyACM3
■
/dev/ttyACM4
■ /dev/ttyACM5
■
/dev/ttyACM6
Only the following devices can be used for AT commands:
■ /dev/ttyACM0 (data port for PPP connections and AT commands)
■
/dev/ttyACM3 (generic port for AT commands)
Troubleshooting Linux
If Linux does not create devices, check for the kernel module:
# lsmod | grep cdc_acm
If entries aren't found, load the kernel module with root privileges:
# modprobe cdc-acm
If this returns an error response, such as # FATAL: Module cdc-acm not found, the kernel module is not on your
system. You will need to build the driver.
