LTE on RCC-VE 2440 with Sierra Wireless MC7354
-
Curtis did you ever get your card working? I recently switched out my 7355 for the 7354 in hopes it would work a bit better, since it wasn't DELL locked out of the gate. After some tweaking I've got pfsense picking up the card, but outputting an almost identical log file to your last post.

Sorry so bump a dead thread but….
Yeah, I never did get his working though I would still like to. Has anyone else had luck with this?
-
Sorry to bump an old post but I'm running into the same problem. I can manually connect to LTE networking using PPP via command line so I know it works, but not through pfSense GUI.
-
@jcarver81 I'm having this same issue on an MC7354 (my log looks the same), but have not yet successfully connected manually either. Would you mind sharing how you've done that so I can troubleshoot a bit more ?
-
@baberlevi any updates? i have the same MC7354
-
What state is it in? Does pfSense/u3g detect the card and create the ports? Can you connect to them from the command line?

@stephenw10 yes pfsense does detect the module and can you show me how to connect them through the command line, that would be great
-
Yes use
cu -l cuaU0.Xas shown above. Where X is probably 2.That should give you access to the modem AT interface so you can query it's status etc.
Once that is confirmed working you can try configuring a ppp session using that port.

@stephenw10 i typed the command and it shows connected
so its recognised by pfsense right?
-
after it connected, the shell just freeze but web GUI is still usable and I don't know why ...
-
After doing that you should be at an AT interface. So if you enter
ATit should replyOK. -
@stephenw10 omg i really did it, thank you so much !
after i realised the interface is not freeze ... it just not showing any texts :0
and i follow this https://teklager.se/en/knowledge-base/pfsense-lte-troubleshooting/
at first it said: "+CME ERROR: SIM not inserted"
and i did at!reset, and voila, flawless, detected immediately
just for anyone else having the same problem. thanks
-
Nice! So you were able to configure the PPP session and get a link?
-
@stephenw10 yeah
