The controller can dial (via the modem) your service provider to initiate a PPP session. During the boot
sequence, the controller issues your device’s mode-switching command, every few seconds, until the PPP link
connects.
Finding USB Modem Commands
To support the USB cellular modems on the W-600 Series, the cellular profile <profile> and uplink
commands are available at the command line interface. For more information, refer to ArubaOS 6.4.x
Command-Line Interface.
You can view connected USB cellular devices using the Controller > Universal Serial Bus > USB Devices in
the WebUI. Navigating to this page is the equivalent of executing the show usb command at the command
prompt.
Uplink Manager
Access the Uplink Manager feature from the WebUI Configuration tab. Navigate to this feature using Uplink >
Uplink Manager.
You can enable/disable the uplink to overwrite cellular and wired uplink priority. The corresponding commands
are:
(host) (config)# uplink [enable | disable]
(host) (config)# uplink [cellular | wired] priority [x]
Cellular Profile
The Cellular Profile tab allows you to add/modify/delete one or more cellular profiles. The WebUI screen for
Cellular Profile is divided into the Cellular Profile Table (the top portion) and the Modify Cellular Profile (the
bottom portion). When a cellular profile is selected for modification the Modify Cellular Profile screen is
displayed. All changes are entered into the buffer until the Apply button is executed.
Dialer Group
Use the Dialer Group command to configure EVDO devices that require specific input for the initial string (init-
string) and dial string. When adding or modifying an existing dialer group, the Modify Dialer screen is displayed
and the WebUI executes the following commands:
(host) (config-cellular profile_name)# dialer group <name> init-string <string>
(host) (config-cellular profile_name)# dialer group <name> dial-string <string>
Configuring a Supported USB Modem
If your USB Modem is a validated modem, then no configuration is needed. Just follow the “plug and play”
steps below.
1. Insert the USB Modem into an open USB port.
2. From the controller command-line interface, issue the show usb command to the modem that is detected.
(host) (config-cellular new_modem)# show usb
3. If your modem is not recognized (such as “type is unknown”, “no matching profile”, or “device not ready”),
use the show usb verbose command to verify your modem is listed.
(host) #show usb verbose
4. Issue the show uplink command to verify the modem as an active status, and is registered with the Uplink
Manager.
