OPi 2g IoT - Automate 2g Connection

LucasBSC

Hi everybody,

I am using the Ubuntu distro on my OPi 2g IoT

How can I configure Modem Manager & Network Manager so that a 2G-PPP connection is required for networking to start the board? What would help:

- 2G PPP connection established to initiate the board in a way that if I don't have it connected it does not initiate.

- Set the Network Manager & Modem Manager to redial and reconnect everytime it drops or fails to initiate.

I am not really experienced with Network Manager and Modem Manager so if you can please leave the step-by-step instruction since the installation till the final configuration itself would be really helpful for all users for sure.

Many thanks!

Can the user manual help you?

Hi! Thanks for the answer

The version 9.9 does have instructions for how to establish a ppp connection. It is great. But this I have already accomplished. What I am having trouble by now is how to automate this connection and set this to be always connected, redial when it drops and so on. I believe it should be done through Network Manager and Modem Manager but I don't have experience with those

Thanks!

Problem solved using a python script that contains the 'os' library to call an external command and runs repeatedly, for example, os.system('sudo wvdial &'). It calls wvdial on terminal.

It can also initiate automatically on the /etc/rc.local file calling the .py file

Further information if needed let me know, thanks!
