Dongle 4 G ZTE MF831 non reconnue par PFsense 2.4.5
-
Bonjour,
Mon Dongle 4G ZTE MF831 n'est pas reconnu lors de la configuration de l'interface PPP sur PFsense 2.4.5 ? il m'affiche juste /dev/cuauo comme interface diponible.
Par contre un autre dongle 3G huawei fonctionne parfaitement comme interface PPP.
Priére de m'orienter afin de configurer ZTE MF831 sur PFsense . -
Connect it and then check the system log.
Try running at the command line:
usbconfig dump_all_desc
You may need to switch it from cdce mode to serial modem mode if you want to use it as a ppp device.

Merci pour la réponse , après execution du script il affiche toujours l'interface /dev/cuau0 puis la configuration PPP echoue.
par contre le dongle Huawei 3G affiche 4 ports : /dev/cuau0.1 ....../dev/cuau0.3
puis la configuration PPP réussi. -
Ok, but what does the log show?
Does it appear as a USB Ethernet device? /dev/ue0?

Ok so it sees a USB Ethernet device:

You can try just assigning that in pfSense. If the USB modem us in router mode you will probably get an IP address and be able to access the modems config page dircetly.
ZTE devices can often be permanently set to a different mode so if you need PPP you might be able to set that. You would lose access to the modem web config though.Steve

First Thank you steve for your help,
Of course it has an IP and the web access is enabled, I need the PPP on Pfsense in order to get the Public IP adress in the WAN interface so i can enable my Openvpn server there. -
Does your provider actually supply a public IP? A lot of mobile providers use CGN so you never get a routable IP in which case there is little point digging further.
If they do then you need to set the modem mode so it presents a PPP interface. As I say ZTE often make that quite easy by providing a setting for it in their web UI. I can't really help with that directly though as I don't have a modem to reference. Also it's potentially risky as you could lock yourself out of it.
