FireBrick 2700 with 4G ZTE MF823: Difference between revisions

m
The ZTE823 works as an Ethernet device by default, it is possible to change the mode so that it works as a modem. The idea here is that rather than the dongle NATing the connection it can be a modem and the FireBrick will be given the public WAN IP address directly.

==Switching to Ethernet mode==
To put the dongle back to Ethernet mode you will need to connect the dongle to a computer in order to send it some commands via a serial terminal
#Open gtkserial or another serial terminal (or simply echo the following AT commands to /dev/ttyUSB2):
 
ATZ
AT&F
AT+ZCDRUN=9
AT+ZCDRUN=F
 
Disconnect the modem from the computer and reconnect it to the FireBrick
