== Note - installing a dongle ==
=== Inserting a dongle ===▼
To insert a SIM into a Huawei 3G dongle, for example, you will need to have a large-size SIM, so do not pop out a small-size SIM from its enclosing card. You remove a SIM-carrier tray tray from the dongle, fit the SIM into the tray and reinsert it into the dongle.▼
=== Configuration and testing ===
When you plug a usb dongle into the Firebrick, to test if it is working you can use the CLI ‘<code>show dongle</code>’ command in a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet Telnet] session. However, unfortunately this command fails to detect the dongle if <usb> and <dongle> elements have not been added to the XML configuration file. You can at first just add the following to the XML by using the web UI of the Firebrick, under Config > XML Edit:
1 0 Dongle-AA 1440 Up tcp-fix
You do not have any 4G/eth sessions
