SIM does not register on network in the 3G dongle

General Help

Hi,

I’m using Raspberry with FreePBX (RaspBX) latest version.
I’m using a Huawei E180 compatible dongle with a SIM from the same provider of the 3G dongle.
I think the voice support is now available.
I removed the PIN already.

But, it seems the SIM card does not register on the network. I already put the SIM in a cellphone and it works. But not in here. It does not register.

Ok, After applying th SYSCFG settings, the SIM is now registered in the network.

Examples:
AT^SYSCFG=2,1,3FFFFFFF,1,2 for GPRS/EDGE Preferred
AT^SYSCFG=2,2,3FFFFFFF,1,2 for 3G Preferred
AT^SYSCFG=13,1,3FFFFFFF,1,2 for GPRS/EDGE Only
AT^SYSCFG=14,2,3FFFFFFF,1,2 for 3G Only

What makes you think Asterisk is going to be able to use this thing? I have never heard of a USB GSM channel driver.

If it doesn’t support an existing channel driver format (like SIP, or H.323) you are out of luck. chan_mobile is for bluetooth devices.

Just because CentOS can see the raw USB device does not help Asterisk.
