First of all delete the 's and spaces so that P,P and U respectively are the first characters on their lines. Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0Īs you can see, Phone, Password and Username are not designated and are also preceded by a followed by a space. This will invoke your text editor (gedit) to open the file at location /etc/nf, with administrative privaledges (sudo). However you will need to edit 3 lines of text: Phone, Username and Password. IMPORTANT!! You should NOT edit any of the completed lines in nf, the settings that the above command wrote to that file are unique to your modem/service provider, so copying anyone elses from a thread will only prevent yours from functioning. Without sudo it will read from the modem but cannot write the file. What this does is reads all of the settings you will need directly from your modem and writes them to a file called nf. (note:: this is more reliable connected directly to your computer as opposed to a hub, and also, some users report problems with the longer cable, but I have had no such problems on the 5 I have set up personally.) Now, with your modem plugged into an available USB port.

One HOWTO exists by tazz_tux, and I must acknowledge this as it definitely helped me a gain a better understanding, although for a n00b like myself much of it was over my head. There are dozens of threads, within these forums alone, and countless elsewhere, but as these were generally responses to threads along the lines of 'HELP!! Modem not working' they're generally asking for that users specific outputs and troubleshooting them, without explaining what was actually going on. Initially when I was trying to set up my e220, it was, quite simply, a headache. Before I begin, I would like to point out that I am NOT a computer expert, but after 6 months spent with ubuntu I have come to love computers as I no longer feel restricted or dictated to by my OS, in fact, I feel liberated, and I would like to thank all of the forum members as it is their contribution that makes all of the hurdles of computing shrink to a size that I feel I can approach with confidence.Īs a result, I now feel confident enough to write a HOWTO and believe I actually have one to fill a much needed gap.
