OrangePi 2G-IOT Linux distro Modem User Manual

First! Thank you @Reinhard share more important information to me, it's very useful to make Modem work well on Linux dirstro.
OrangePi 2G-IOT has support SMS, Call phone and connect Internel via ppp. People will utilize these function on different application.
So, I will share more information to introduce how to utilize modem on OrangePi 2G-IOT distro.

OrangePi 2G-IOT Linux distro SMS
From OrangePi offical, OrangePi 2G-IOT Linux dirstro has support Ubuntu， Debian and Raspbian， these new dirstro all support SMS function.
You can get newest offical Image from http://www.orangepi.cn/downloadresourcescn/ 。And before you utilize SMS on OrangePi 2G-IOT Linux dirstro，
Please prepare a SIM card that has been already activation.

Dead Work
First, you should prepare a SIM card. for example, I use an China Unicom SIM card.
According frequency range of Modem, you can select different SIM from different Telecom operators.
The frequency range that OrangePi 2G-IOT supports as follow:

main frequency range
other
850
900
1800
1900

After got a SIM card, you should cut SIM card to suit SIM slot. The format of SIM slot on OrangePi 2G-IOT is micro.
Now, you should plug SIM into SIM slot, as follow:

Note! Absence of horns on the outside. eg
Login OrangePi
You can utilze terminal or ssh to connect OrangePi, the band rate is 921600. Details refer offical user manual.
Default account number: root/orangepi
Default password: orangepi
Usage of SMS
OrangePi 2G-IOT support different way to utilize SMS, such as terminal and C-program.
I will introduce two way to utilize SMS on OrangePi 2G-IOT.
Terminal to SMS
On hardware, CPU connect to Modem via serial port. When Linux startup, the system will register modem on /dev/modem0.
CPU will exchange message via this virtual port. So, you can use terminal tools to connect Modem under /dev/modem0.
The mainstream terminal tools is "minicom", "picocom", "kermit" and so on. The default Linux dirstro doesn't install those tools,
and you should install it firstly. such as
1. sudo apt-get install minicom
Copy code
When finish installing minicom, you should configure minicom firstly. such as:
1. sudo minicom -s
Copy code
Entry "Serial port setup"

Push "A" to alter "Serial Device", and input /dev/modem0

Now, we can input "AT" command to test Modem.
If modem return OK, it means connect OK, we can input more AT command to control Modem.

Then, configure modem mode as full function, use command "AT +CFUN=1",
If command is successful implementation, termial will get some userful information. eg

And then, you can select clearly mode but Modem also support Cipher mode,
Input "AT +CMGF=1", If command is successful implementation ,terminal will return OK.

Next, It's very import and fallible on this step, you should configure SMS center number.
Differnet country and City has a unique SMS center number, If you set an incorrect number, SMS can work.
So, please get correct SMS center number, you can search goolg to get correct SMS center number.
We can use AT +CSCA="+86xxxx" to configure SMS center number.
For example, The country code of China is +86, and the SMS center number of ShenZhen is 13010888500

If command is successful implementation ,terminal will return OK.
You can input "AT +CSCA?" to check current configure of SMS center number.
Finally, we can use "AT +CMGS=+86xxx" to send message.
The format of +86xxx contain Country Code and the number of receiver.
For example, the country code of China is "+86" and the number of receiver is "135xxxxxxx"

After input command, terminal will output a character ">", then we can input message that you want.
When you finish input message, you should push Ctrl + Z to send message.
If command is successful implementation ,terminal will return OK.

Now, we have finish to send message via serial on OrangePi 2G-IOT.
Send message on C-Program
The main routine is same with serial way, we also utilize terminal on C-program.
You can write you program as follow:
First, you should initlize serial

Next, create function to send AT command:

And then, send AT command stream

Above is main routine of send message.
Running this program:

Finally, Receive message from OrangePi 2G-IOT

OrangePi 2G-IOT Linux distro Call Phone

From OrangePi offical, OrangePi 2G-IOT Linux dirstro has support Ubuntu， Debian and Raspbian， these new dirstro all support Call Phone function.
You can get newest offical Image from http://www.orangepi.cn/downloadresourcescn/ 。And before you utilize Call Phone on OrangePi 2G-IOT Linux dirstro，
Please prepare a SIM card that has been already activation.

Dead Work
First, you should prepare a SIM card. for example, I use an China Unicom SIM card.
According frequency range of Modem, you can select different SIM from different Telecom operators.
The frequency range that OrangePi 2G-IOT supports as follow:

After got a SIM card, you should cut SIM card to suit SIM slot. The format of SIM slot on OrangePi 2G-IOT is micro.
Now, you should plug SIM into SIM slot, as follow:

Note! Absence of horns on the outside. eg

Plug headset
Login OrangePi
You can utilze terminal or ssh to connect OrangePi, the band rate is 921600. Details refer offical user manual.
Default account number: root/orangepi
Default password: orangepi
Usage of Call Phone
OrangePi 2G-IOT support different way to utilize Call Phone, such as terminal and C-program.
I will introduce two way to utilize Call Phone on OrangePi 2G-IOT.
Terminal to Call Phone
On hardware, CPU connect to Modem via serial port. When Linux startup, the system will register modem on /dev/modem0.
CPU will exchange message via this virtual port. So, you can use terminal tools to connect Modem under /dev/modem0.
The mainstream terminal tools is "minicom", "picocom", "kermit" and so on. The default Linux dirstro doesn't install those tools,

Entry "Serial port setup"

Push "A" to alter "Serial Device", and input /dev/modem0

Now, we can input "AT" command to test Modem.
If modem return OK, it means connect OK, we can input more AT command to control Modem.

Then, use command AT DT "+86xxxxx;" . The format of "+86xxxxx;" contain country code, call number and a character ';'
For example, the country code of China is "+86" and call numer is "xxxxxx", at last, adding ';'.
C-program
The main routine of Call phone is same as serial way on C-program.
So, at first, we should initialize serial.

Then, create Send At function

Final, Send AT command

Running this C-program

Please prepare a SIM card that has been already activation.

Dead Work
First, you should prepare a SIM card. for example, I use an China Unicom SIM card.
According frequency range of Modem, you can select different SIM from different Telecom operators.
The frequency range that OrangePi 2G-IOT supports as follow:

Main Frequency Other
850
900
1800
1900

After got a SIM card, you should cut SIM card to suit SIM slot. The format of SIM slot on OrangePi 2G-IOT is micro.
Now, you should plug SIM into SIM slot, as follow:

Login OrangePi
You can utilze terminal or ssh to connect OrangePi, the band rate is 921600. Details refer offical user manual.
Default account number: root/orangepi
Default password: orangepi
Utilize ppp to connect Internet
OrangePi 2G-IOT currently support GSM to connect Internet, and base on ppp and wvdial tools.
First, you should install tools on OrangePi 2G-IOT, such as:
1. sudo apt-get install ppp wvdial
Copy code
Then, alter /etc/wvdial.conf to configure wvdial
1. [Dialer defaults]
2. ISDN = 0
3. Modem Type = Analog Modem
4. Phone = *99***1#
5. Stupid Mode = 1
6. Dial Command = ATDT
7. Modem = /dev/modem0
8. Baud = 460800
9. Init1 = AT+COPS=0
10. Init2 = AT+CFUN=1
11. Init3 = AT+CGATT=1
12. Init4 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","OrangePi_2G-IOT","",0,0
13. Init5 = AT+CGACT=1,1
14. Username = " "
15. Password = " "
Copy code
Next, alter /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial to configure ppp
1. noauth
2. name wvdial
3. defaultroute
4. replacedefaultroute
Copy code
Final, connect Internal via wvdial

Thanks for the awesome instruction! Only one question, I am beginner on Linux and I am having trouble configuring the wvdial and ppp. How can I better know What I should fill in on the Fields of configuration wvdial and ppp? Should I let the fields as you let there on the post? How can I exit the this editor right after? Actually I always get stuck and need to close the session on the PuTTy to reboot the Orange Pi 2g iot manually because of this. Can anybody help me out on this?

Hello, welcome to community. Nano text editor can be closed with Ctrl+X. Tell which carrier are you using, since settings must be changed, especialy APN of operator.

LucasBSC · Published in 2017-9-15 08:02:53

I am using VIVO. A brazilian carrier, I tried to input Info I captured for example APN I believe it is "zap.vivo.com.br" but don't know exactly how i can have high confidence level on this info. Please see pics attached
