3G won't start on boot

[Damian Christie]

…but will start manually. I’ve gotten around this by calling “/usr/sbin/pppd call gsm” in a script run after boot has completed. I’ve compared the ppp configuration to another mLinux box that works correctly and can see no difference. I can see in “/var/log/messages” that after the “ATD*99***1#” command is sent (as below) I get a “NO CARRIER” message. Again, running this manually with the same settings results in a successful connection. Is there anything else I could check??

Damian,

The only thing that I can think of without more information is that the radio on that device is “coming up” slower than on the other device for some reason. I’m assuming that both the device that works and the device with the problem are using the same provider and are effectively in the same location and behave the same with the exact same SIM card?

Jeff

[Damian Christie]

Same provider, same location. I haven’t tried with the same SIM, since it’s kind of difficult to get the SIM in and out. Is there any way I can verify it’s waiting for the 120s timeout with an echo somewhere? It seems to give up very quickly.

Thanks.

[Jeff Hatch]

Damian,

Can you post the entire output of the chat script? That might give a better clue. As it is it appears that the radio is responding to the chat script, but failing on connection establishment. It is difficult to get any debugging from the radio itself. It might be possible to turn up the debugging coming out of ppp though.

Jeff

[Damian Christie]

You mean the gsm_chat script?

Hi,

Looks like ppp has an option to turn off debugging but I can find no way to increase the debugging. Based on your suggestion that the radio may be coming up more slowly on this, is there a way I can generate an output to the system log when it is “up”? That way I can see if it’s up before the it tries to connect. Is there anything else I can try?

On a completely separate note, is the RSSI value quoted in the mlinux network server logs the resolved value i.e. is this the value before or after SNR has been taken into account??

Thanks.

Damian,

From the chat output it looks like the radio is responding. The problem may still be radio related, but I am not sure. You can turn up the ppp debugging by:

Diagnostics

Messages are sent to the syslog daemon using facility LOG_DAEMON. (This can be overridden by recompiling pppd with the macro LOG_PPP defined as the desired facility.) See the syslog(8) documentation for details of where the syslog daemon will write the messages. On most systems, the syslog daemon uses the /etc/syslog.conf file to specify the destination(s) for syslog messages. You may need to edit that file to suit.

The debug option causes the contents of all control packets sent or received to be logged, that is, all LCP, PAP, CHAP, EAP, or IPCP packets. This can be useful if the PPP negotiation does not succeed or if authentication fails. If debugging is enabled at compile time, the debug option also causes other debugging messages to be logged.

Debugging can also be enabled or disabled by sending a SIGUSR1 signal to the pppd process. This signal acts as a toggle.

You can either send a SIGUSR1 to the pppd process or add the debug option to the ppp start script. It would probably be easier to try the SIGUSR1 first.
