Good day all,
i just buyed an Alix pc with pfSense 2.2.1 installed and a Novatel EU850D 3G modem.
I use a Vodafone Italy sim but the connection doesn't work.

Well your modem doesn't like that init string.
Try each command individually and see which one it doesn't like
AT&F
AT&C1
AT&D2
ATE0
ATS0=0
ATM1They are all fairly standard commands though.

Bump
@netxp
Did you got it working well now? -
Somewhere in the pfSense upgrade cycle we lost lots of 3G modules on the list. They used to work a now they don't. Just to confirm consider trying an old version and then upgrade install to current.

Hi,
I have just purchased a pfSense appliance with Novatel 3G modem.
the problem is the PIN on the SIM card.
if you disable the PIN code, the 3G modem work fine.
I have been followed the guide below:
