Entering sim code problem on a Huawei E1752

Description
Had some problem using my 3g modem and it turns out to be a pin code problem. After setting pin off I can now use it with the Telenor basic settings.
http://borderworlds.dk/notes/huawei.html and http://www.shapeshifter.se/2008/04/30/list-of-at-commands/ was very handy in troubleshooting the problem.
With trail by error I found out where to enter AT+CPIN in the borderworlds.dk conf.
AT+CFUN=1 OK-AT-OK \
AT+CPIN="1234" OK \
AT+CSQ OK \
Related files I could find
/etc/inc/interfaces.inc
/usr/local/sbin/mpd.script
/var/etc/mpd.script
/var/etc/mpd_opt4.conf
is the SIM PIN in the GUI not adequate for this?
No, My guess is that SIM Pin doesn't run at the right time in the script.
Can you please show your ppp log on this?
Or the mpd log on system log?
You can otherwise use the init script box on the GUI to use your own script.
ppp.log

Can you add to line 1487
log $modemQuery
of /usr/local/sbin/mpd.script the line above and give me the log again of ppp.
The scripts expects an OK from the card when issued AT+CPIN=? otherwise fails.
- Target version deleted (
2.0)
- Affected Version deleted (
2.0)
I will leave this open though not a target for 2.0.
Usually this is a pilot error and the modem should respond with the expected result from the mpd.script.
Having same problem here with a novatel eu850d minipcie card, although PIN is deactivated.
When removing the "GetOK lines" the connection comes up
##GetOK:
- match "OK\r\n" GotOK
- wait 3
- log "The modem did not respond with \"OK\"."
- failure
##GotOK:
- return

For your information, my 3g modem works perfectly with my Ubuntu 11.4
Best regard

I had this problem today with a Huawei E173-u2. For some reasons the Windows software refused to disable the PIN check, so I solved the problem in /var/etc/mpd.script
This is what's happening at the moment:
The Huawei stick answers the "AT+CPIN=?" in DialPeerSetPin directly with "OK". The function ModemQuery stores this "OK" in $modemQuery and calls GetOK afterwards, as it expects two separate replies. GetOK runs into timeout and prints 'chat: The modem did not respond with "OK".'
The problem can simply be resolved by removing the '=' in "AT+CPIN=?". I think there is also a 'goto' missing before a label that lead to another problem. Maybe I accidentially deleted it myself while trying. Nevertheless I changed the function to this working version:
DialPeerSetPin:
set $modemCmd "+CPIN?"
log $modemCmd
call ModemQuery
log $modemQuery
if $modemQuery match ".*READY.*" goto PinReady
set $modemCmd "+CPIN=\"$SimPin\""
call ModemCmd2
wait $PinWait
PinReady:
return
Please note the missing '=' and the 'goto' before 'PinReady'.
I had a similar problem with a HUAWEI E1752 after a cold boot.
Warm reboot works everytime.
Not sure what the problem is
Any idea ?
I forgot to mention this is with a
2.1.3-RELEASE (amd64)
built on Thu May 01 15:52:13 EDT 2014
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p16
- Status changed from New to Resolved
Please re-test on a current version and report back. I recall this being worked on and fixed several years ago.
