Sierra MC7304 - Help with Setup
-
What converter device did you use exactly? You have a link to it?
Were you using the convcerter when you tested it woth Windows?

Yes, it should. You can see there are no active components on there it just passes the USB lines to the card.
I expect that to at least show something. Do you see any power light on it even?
It amazes me that would work at all with Windows and not even be seen by FreeBSD. I assume that was on different hardware though? Have you verified the USB port on the pfSense box?

USB port is fine, the converter shows power lights but that's about it.
I also tried the modem + converter with a laptop that's got Ubuntu 18.04 on it, that also failed to detect it.
Since it didn't work on Ubuntu/FreeBSD but it did on a Windows laptop, I'm going to assume it's still the converter really at the moment but like you I'm still stumped as to how.
-
Does it still work in Windows? Perhaps it has sustained damage somehow since that first test?
Steve
-
Mmmm not anymore, I think you might be right.
-
Though saying that, I've now got "Sierra Wireless Application Interface 1/2/3 (on COM3/4/5) and "Sierra Wireless Diagnostics Interface" (on COM6) being exposed on Windows now with the new converter.
-
Well that looks like it's working. And still nothing in pfSense or Linux using that new converter?
Steve
-
I think it just denotes to the virtual driver installed from Sierra, since I can't connect to those COM ports at all, (assuming a BAUD rate of 115200). Still no success on Ubuntu though unfortunately.
-
Hmm, does sounds broken then unfortunately.
