Lsusb right after plug-in: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 12d1:15d2 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Internet doesn't appear anymore in network-manager it seems, as if the mode of the usb-stick is already "modem" and no more mass storage.
#HUAWEI E3531 SOFTWARE INSTALL#
Now, you can install gammu from and configure it (see below). This is a SMS server daemon, which you can use to send messages pretty easily:Įcho "test" | sudo gammu-smsd-inject TEXT "+49"Īfter a few seconds, you should receive the SMS on your mobile device.After hours of trying searching the web and trying several things, I can't get running a Huawei E3531 usb-modem.īefore updating Lubuntu 14.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS it worked well. When entering lsusbafter a reboot, latest after a minute this should be the result:īus 001 Device 005: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. That’s the reason why we use the cronjob.

#HUAWEI E3531 SOFTWARE MAC#
(I did not succeed to get things up and running with usb_modeswitch only!)īe sure that there is NO pin set for the stick (plug it first on a Mac or Win machine and change that setting through the web interface of the stick)! However, this solution does work, and that’s what’s important to me 😉 As I’m actually not a system administrator, although I got a bit of knowledge during the past 30 years, it is not clear to me yet, why the intended solution (with usb_modeswitch alone) does not work. So I decided to get my „it’s running somehow solution“ published here. It turned out that this is highly complicated stuff, and that it is very difficult to find a solution. The Raspi shall work as monitoring server running icinga2, and for emergency cases, it shall send SMS using the USB stick. The problem was simple: I have a Raspi 3, and a Huawei 3531 3G USB stick. Pooh, quite some work to do, but now it seems to work…
