      I'm attempting to get a MC7354 card working for LTE connection but I've hit a roadblock. I can SSH in and remotely establish a connection using PPP and that works fine and dandy but I am unable to get it to work within the pfSense GUI. Any help?

        There's no actual error there. It's clearly connecting to an AT port correctly.

        How many ports does it present? I assume you use the same port at the command line?

        That all the logs it gives?

          Connects to AT port just fine. Gets to authentication process, then stalls at the point where an IP address should be assigned. If I use PPP w/ a custom ppp.conf on the command line it connects perfectly but that doesn't help me. I want to be able to setup everything in the GUI.

              So what's the difference between you custom conf file and what's generated by pfSense in /var/etc/mpd_optX.conf?

                  Ah, OK you're not using mpd at all.
                  It looks like you're manually setting an interface IP and gateway though. Obviously the server you connect to should pass that to you. Does that not happen if you omit that?

                  It does look like the modem itself is working fine and this is just a problem with the init script.

                    @jcarver81 said in Sierra MC7354 LTE for WAN:

                    set ipcp ranges

                    This value in your conf might be preventing it negotiate. If you check the man page:
                    http://mpd.sourceforge.net/doc/mpd26.html

                    You'll see it is only allowing the remote side to be 10.64.64.0, though it's /0 so that should be any IP.....

                    But when it comes up using the custom ppp conf file presumably the remote gateway is 10.0.0.2?

                      Correct. I'm able to establish a connection using PPP and it works using the config I posted. The config was found on a FreeBSD forum for this specific LTE card. The set ifaddr line is a default from FreeBSD's /etc/ppp/ppp.conf as far as I am aware which enables the provider to set the IP upon connection.

                      If the IP address changes whenever a connection is made, change this line to the following value. This tells ppp(8) to use the IP Configuration Protocol (IPCP) to negotiate a dynamic IP address:

set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0

                      I'm no expert in FreeBSD obviously. Can you see what I would need to do within pfSense to get this working with the information I have provided?

                        Those values in mpd_wan.conf are set by the pfSense GUI. I did not see an option to select anything regarding IP addressing in the GUI.

                          My own connection here also uses that config line but it does come up with that gateway:

                          ppp0: flags=88d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1492
	description: 3GWAN
	inet6 fe80::208:a2ff:fe0c:bba%ppp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x10
	inet 188.29.x.xxx --> 10.64.64.0 netmask 0xffffffff
	nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>

                          When you use your custom ppp file what IP does it actually come up as?

                            You can use an entirely custom mpd conf file by creating: /conf/mpd_wan.conf.

                            pfSense will use that in preference to the auto created file in /var.

                                  Ok, so maybe try creating the custom file in /conf and setting the remote address to 10.0.0.2/0 there.
                                  Both are /0 so it should allow any IP from either but it's a difference....

                                    Same result. About to order a Mofi4500 and just use the pfSense strictly as a firewall at this point. It shouldn't be this difficult to configure an LTE modem. Especially one that is on the "Supported 3g/4g Modem" list.

                                      I certainly wouldn't expect it to be given the right settings.

                                      You will likely get better throughput from an external modem anyway though.

                                        Hi, I'm using the MC7354 module but I can't figure it out how to solve this, can you guys help me out?

                                        Do I need to reflash the module?

                                          The port you're using is not configured as an AT interface. Try one of the other ports.

                                          But please keep this in one thread. It might be better to start a new thread than these older ones.
