  • 7Using the card as a wireless modem

Overview

Here are some basics about Ericsson F3507g MiniPCIe WWAN/GPS card (USB ID 0bdb:1900 and 0bdb:1902):

  • the card will not work without an inserted SIM, even the GPS function. If you want to use just GPS, any SIM would work, even if it is not attached to any active account with any GSM provider.
  • the card provides three CDC ACM interfaces (CONFIG_USB_ACM=m), two CDC WDM interfaces (CONFIG_USB_WDM=m) and one CDC Ethernet interface (CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER=m), and identifies them as

Note:

  • apparently, for a while option USB-serial driver had claimed USB ID 0bdb:1900, but this was wrong, and as of kernel 2.6.28.9 that commit was reversed. If instead of /dev/ttyACM* you see /dev/ttyUSB*, it means that option module is loaded. You may need to blacklist it to make sure it doesn't happen.
  • Support for the CDC Ethernet interface appears only in kernel 2.6.28.8. But if your kernel is older, you can still connect to the net using one of the 'Modem' interfaces. As of kernel 2.6.33 it is named wwan0 rather than usb0.

As Ericsson's naming scheme suggests, idealy we would use /dev/cdc-wdm0 for controlling the card, usb0 (or wwan0) as a network device, /dev/ttyACM0 or /dev/ttyACM1 as a modem, and /dev/ttyACM2 for GPS. This works for manual testing, but unfortunately, due to limitations of chat, does not play very well in scripts. So, instead of /dev/cdc-wdm0, for controlling the card we will use /dev/ttyACM1.

Turning the card on

First, check whenever the SIM is protected by PIN by sending

to /dev/ttyACM1. You can do it with any terminal terminal program like cu or minicom. If the answer is

Need help with Sierra Wireless Airlink FXT MyBroadbandThis section describes the different interfaces that connect with the Fastrack Xtend. BOOT signal connection 4. Airlink usb serial port driver download arduino.

then the SIM is unlocked. If the answer is

you need first to unlock it by sending

to /dev/ttyACM1. Now the card can be turned on by sending

to /dev/ttyACM1. The answer should be

Don't try to do anything until you see it. To force GSM-only connection, send

to /dev/ttyACM1. To force WCDMA-only connection, send

MD-1 NMEA Device (COM6) Drivers Download For Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, XP

to /dev/ttyACM1.

Turning the card off

To put the card into energy-saving mode (this is the default), you can send

Md-1 nmea device (com6) drivers download for windows 10 8.1 7 vista xp 32-bit

to /dev/ttyACM1. To remove all power from the card, send

to /dev/ttyACM1. Be carefull with the last command. It turns the card completely off, and it will no longer accept any AT-commands before the hard reset. To physically reset the card flip the wireless switch off, and then on. You can do the same by sending echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/rfkill/rfkill0/state (to turn off) and then echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/rfkill/rfkill0/state (to turn on).

Using the card as a wireless modem

MD-1 NMEA Device (COM6) Drivers Download For Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, XP

Once the card is turned on, there are two ways to connect to the net. The first one is just to use the card as any 'normal' GPRS modem and start pppd daemon on one of /dev/ttyACM*. The other way is to use CDC Ethernet interface. It is supposed to be more efficient, but it requires a pretty recent (>=2.6.28.8) kernel.

Connecting to the net via pppd

For the first approach, the easiest way to do it is to use wvdial. For example, to connect to AT&T Wireless network, your /etc/wvdial.conf would have to be something like this

Md-1 Nmea Device (com6) Drivers Download For Windows 10 8.1 7 Vista Xp 32-bit

Note: if you are using a SIM from a different mobile provider, you may need to change the access point name (APN) 'proxy' in Init1 string and Username/Password to something else. You can find the appropriate APN here.

Connecting to the net via CDC Ethernet interface

The second approach works for kernels >=2.6.28.8. Configure the APN by sending

to /dev/ttyACM1. Instead of 'proxy' you may need to use to something else. Find the appropriate APN here. To initiate the connection, send

to /dev/ttyACM1. Now, if your wireless provider lets you in, you are connected. Launch dhclient

and start surfing the net (or use wwan0 for kernels >= 2.6.33). To disconnect, send

to /dev/ttyACM1.

Using the card as a GPS receiver

Once the card is turned on, we can use it to get GPS info via NMEA protocol. First, you have to configure the a few NMEA options. It is done by sending

to /dev/ttyACM1. Here

  • X can be 0 (NMEA stream turned off) or 1 (NMEA stream turned on)
  • Y can be an integer form 1 to 60, and sets the frequency of how often the card emits the NMEA sentences
  • Z can be 0 (DGPS is turned off) or 1 (DGPS is turned on)

so, to configure the GPSr to update every 5 seconds, and turn DGPS on, you would send

to /dev/ttyACM1. Once the GPSr is configured, we can get the NMEA stream on /dev/ttyACM2 by sending

to /dev/ttyACM2. Once you do that, /dev/ttyACM2 will no longer accept any new AT-commands. But you still can change the the behavior of the NMEA stream by sending the appropriate

to /dev/ttyACM1. Now you can read the NMEA stream by saying

or better yet, start gpsd interface on /dev/ttyACM2.

Note: There is a now a sourceforge project dedicated to the Ericsson Mobile Broadband modules. Gps control sw that does the above automatically is available and also a graphical user interface. Details are available on the MBM Wiki.

Scripting everything

Install the packages

In order to save the power, let us use sysfsutils to completely power off the WWAN card on boot. Append the following line to /etc/sysfs.conf

It will power down the card on boot, but when the laptop wakes from sleep, in some cases the card is powered up again. To re-apply these settings on wake-up, create a script named /etc/pm/sleep.d/10sysfsutils:

Don't forget to chmod a+x /etc/pm/sleep.d/10sysfsutils. Create a file called /usr/local/etc/F3507g containing the following:

Give the correct USB_ID and PIN, and find the APN for your wireless provider here. Append the following lines to your /etc/network/interfaces file

Configure /etc/wvdial.conf to look like this:

Note: you may need to change the access point name (APN) 'proxy' in Init1 string and Username/Password to something else. Find the appropriate APN here.

Now broadband connection could be started in the same way as you start any other network interface, just by saying ifup usb0 (or ifup 3G, if connecting via pppd). To shut it down, say ifdown usb0 (or ifdown 3G). Similarly, GPS interface is started by ifup gps and turned off by ifdown gps. Once you get a fix, you can use your favourite GPS mapping application like tangogps. The 'cold start' seems to take quite a bit however, and sometimes it cannot get a fix if indoors.

Using F3507g with ifup / ifdown

The wwan-helper script is a simpler alternative to the 'Scripting everything' section. It has slightly different chat scripts that establish a WWAN connection more reliably, even in case of a partially-initialized modem. It retries as often as necessary until the WWAN connection is really established. The downside is that it doesn't (yet) enable GPS. To use it, simply download wwan-helper:

and configure your APN and PIN in /etc/wwan-helper/config:

Finally, add wwan-helper to the pre-up and post-down hooks:

That way, no special settings in /etc/network/interfaces are needed, just the plain standard entry:

(Reminder from the Overview section: If you have a Linux kernel 3.2 or older, use usb0 instead of wwan0.)

Using F3507g with NetworkManager

Work is ongoing to add support for Ericsson Mobile Broadband Modules to GNOME NetworkManager / modem-manager. More information is available on the MBM project website and the MBM wiki.

The F3507g card (in a ThinkPad T400s) works out of the box on Fedora 11. No configuration is needed beyond setting the data plan provider in the nm-applet GUI.

Using mbm-gpsd gps works flawlessly with the F3507g on Karmic Koala with modemmanager packages from Ubuntu PPA, the mbm-gpsd installed by source using the description from here and knowing the PIN of your SIM card.

SMS with wammu/gammu

You can use Wammu to receive and send SMS.

After installing wammu (with the usual apt-get install wammu or whatever), choose to configure it 'Manually':

Other thoughts

While AT+CFUN=* and AT+CPIN=* are pretty standard commands for wireless modems and are well-documented, it appears that the commands AT*E2GPSCTL and AT*E2GPSNPD are unique to the Ericsson F3507g card. All credit for discovering them goes to 'Nickolai Zeldovich' who left a comment in this thread. I imagine one could find them via a USB sniffer on a working Windows machine (or a Linux machine with Windows running in a virtual machine). Another way to get them is to try to look for 'gps' string in Windows drivers. What is interesting, F3507g supports a few other AT-commands with 'GPS' substring (you can get all supported AT-commands by sending AT* to /dev/ttyACM1 after activating it with AT+CFUN=1). Anyway, there is a project aiming to document all AT-commands for the Ericsson F3507g card. The project links to a full reference which no longer works. The new link appears to be [1]

Bugs

  • Ubuntu 8.10 kernel suffers from the 'option' regression mentioned above. However both CDC ACM and CDC Ethernet interfaces are treated correctly by Ubuntu 9.04 kernel.
  • Playing around with the device under Linux can cause it to disappear under Windows Vista. Issue + Fix described here

Troubleshooting

Under certain circumstances the device may disappear completely from your system or refuse to connect to a network even though everything worked fine up to now. In such a situation one of the following methods could solve the problem:

  • Use the killswitch to reset the card. Switch all rf devices off, wait about 30s (all wireless leds should be off), switch them on again and wait for the card to appear. Use 'lsusb' to find the device.
  • Shut down, remove the battery, take out the SIM, clean the SIM slot, insert the SIM and battery and start your Thinkpad again.
  • Disable the card in the BIOS: go to 'Config', 'Security', 'I/O Port Access' and switch 'wireless wan' to 'disabled'. Save, restart and boot. Then do the same thing again and enable it again.

If the last method doesn't show any success on windows, support will consider your card to be broken and send you a new one while your Thinkpad is still covered by the warranty.Please note that Linux can revive a locked up card that can't be discovered on windows after using the last method. If even Linux can't find the device it's definitely broken and needs to be replaced.

Holux RCV-3000 picture

The Holux RCV-3000 is a simple, compact GPS data logger. It features 3 LEDs to show satellite signal, bluetooth connection, and battery charge. The internal memory can record up to 200,000 position data sets (newer version is 250,000), including longitude, latitude, date, time, speed and altitude. Logged data can be retrieved from the RCV-3000 via USB cable or Bluetooth wireless link using the NMEA 0183 V3.01 Interface Standard.[1] The RCV-3000 supports distance and time logging modes, kilometer and mile distance units. It is manufactured by Holux Technology, Inc., Hsinchu, Taiwan, R.O.C.

Overview

As shipped, the RCV-3000 includes a specific 3,7V / 1050 mAh BL-5C-H Lithium-Ion battery (Nokia phone battery), a USB cable with mini USB plug, a RCV-3000 Quick Guide with the warranty card. But NO 220/240V home electricity adapter, NO 12 VDC car adapter with USB ports, NO Driver CD-ROM, NO nylon wrist lanyard, NO User Guide. For 12 VDC car adapter and nylon wrist lanyard, you will have to buy separately. In the device case, you have a little hole for a wrist lanyard. Dimensions are 64mm x 42mm x 17mm and weighs 53g (including 22g battery).

Alaska sndybrdg driver download. Because there are NO User Guide and NO Driver CD-ROM, for the MS Windows drivers (support for Microsoft Windows XP, (Vista ?) and Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 OS for 32 and 64 bits) and PDF User Guide for 8 languages, you can download them at : http://www.holux.com/rcv3000-3

The device is extensively documented in the User Guide, including instructions in use of software to communicate with it. The Holux ezTour software that you can download at http://market.holux.com/Software/SU/ is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 and 10 (probably 8 too) but third-party solutions exist for Linux and Mac OS X.

Basic accuracy of the RCV-3000 is stated at 3 m, but this can be improved to 2.2 m [2] when Differential GPS (DGPS)[3] is available. Before using the RCV-3000 for OpenStreetMap, enable WAAS for the USA or EGNOS for Europa on your device to improve accuracy.This superior device has a very low sensivity up to -165 dBm of receiving satellite signal. Test : In a big french town and in a street with buildings with 8 levels, OSMTracker (Android) used with the 'Blueetooth GPS' app (configuration documentation for this latest app) report an accuracy between 3 and 4 meters for the Holux RCV-3000 device with EGNOS improvement enabled (better accuracy found: 2,7m and no move). On the mapillary forum, the user Blackbird27, report for his Holux RCV-3000, an accuracy of 1,7m (if satellites distributed evenly in the sky and you have lock on 10-11 of them then 1.7 meters accuracy could be achieved) or 2.3 m (2.3 m under the foliage and inside the train carriage).

Although not waterproof, the RCV-3000 is specified to operate over a relative humidity range of 5% to 95% (No condensing) and temperature range of -10 °C to +60 °C (under the un-charging condition). Charging temperature : 0°C to +45 °C. However, the battery may not provide optimal performance and life over the entire temperature range. And when over-temperature condition +50 °C occurs for the power supply, the circuit protection is enabled on the device. Storage temperature range is -20 °C to +60 °C.[4]

The unit can start logging after switching power On. You can not store a waypoint while logging because there is no button to logs the waypoint.But, as a workaround, for this missing feature, you can use OSMTracker (Android) that can get GPS data from your Holux device and log them on your Android device and when you are at a waypoint, you can select a waypoint type (school, bus stop, etc, .) in OSMTracker for tagging where you are.

Battery

The RCV-3000 can log GPS points for up to 28 hours maximum (room temperature ?) with one built-in rechargeable and changeable Lithium-ion battery [5] If an external 5 VDC power source is connected to the RCV-3000 via the USB-miniport, as with a car adapter, it can be used without a battery.

Using the RCV-3000

General

BT747 is a software solution for using the Holux RCV-3000 with Linux, Microsoft Windows, Mac, Mobile Phones (J2ME), etc. You can configure the RCV-3000 to log extra data.

Android

By default, an Android device can not use an external bluetooth GPS device, you need a specific app to use it.The process below was tested with CyanogenMod 11 (based on on Android 4.4 KitKat) on an Asus tablet and Blueetooth GPS 1.3.7 app.

32-bit
  1. Install the 'Blueetooth GPS' app by Google Play : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=googoo.android.btgps&hl=fr
  2. Download this documentation http://faq.holux.com/images/0/09/How_to_connect_Android_device_with_M-1000C%26M-1200E_via_Bluetooth.pdf
  3. Configure your Android device and the 'Blueetooth GPS' app by following the steps in the PDF documentation from Holux FAQ
  4. Now, you can use an Android app that need a GPS receiver : OSMTracker (Android) (Offline GPS tracker with fast POI placement shortcuts.), Navit (open-source car navigation software capable of using OSM data), etc..

Linux

gpsd

You don't have to use your Holux RCV-3000 device with Bluetooth: You can save batteries by using a USB cable and using the power from your laptop, which should last much longer.

Tested with gpsd v3.11.

Check the system device file used by Holux device
  1. go in /dev folder
  1. list all the file in /dev folder
  1. Plug in your Holux device with a MiniUSB cable in a free USB port in your computer.
  2. relist all the file in /dev folder

Now you can see that there are 2 new files : /dev/gps0@ and /dev/ttyACM0, where /dev/gps0@ is a symbolic link to /dev/ttyACM0You can can also use the bash shell script available at http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/144029/command-to-determine-ports-of-a-device-like-dev-ttyusb0 to find these new files used by Holux device.Note the file name for these new files

By default, if you have installed gpsd on your computer, gpsd process will read the /etc/sysconfig/gpsd file to find the DEVICE parameter (for example : DEVICE='/dev/ttyUSB0' ) that set the system file to use for connection to the GPS device.If this DEVICE parameter does not use the good settings, you can change it or create a symbolic link in /dev folder as workaround. Here we choose to not modify the /etc/sysconfig/gpsd file but choose to create a new symbolic link to redirect software access from /dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/ttyACM0

  1. Create the symbolic link ans set the good speed for the USB connection
Test USB connection
  1. Plug in your Holux device with a MiniUSB cable in a free USB port in your computer.
  2. Check that your computer recognize your Holux device :

BT747 software

BT747 software works on Linux but you need to install rxtx (serial and parallel I/O libraries supporting Sun's CommAPI​) package to use it. See the Microsoft Windows section for general details.

Microsoft Windows

There are two ways to connect to this device — USB and Bluetooth. Each requires a slightly different setup. You do not need to set it up both ways, either is sufficient, but USB is much faster for downloading logged data points than Bluetooth — 480 Mbps (USB 2.0) vs. 721 kbps (Bluetooth 1.2 SPP, class 2 up to 10 meters). Additionally, since there are various Bluetooth implementations ('stacks'), you may have to adjust these instructions for particular software-hardware combination.

Bluetooth

By default, the Holux RCV-3000 has Bluetooth turned on. You can see that Bluetooth connection to this device are ready when you can see the blue LEDon the device case is blinking. There does not seem to be any success connecting to Windows 10 using bluetooth (Oct 2018)(If you have managed this feel free to explain how).

Have your computer search for Bluetooth devices. The following instructions are how I did it in Microsoft Windows on my Dell Latitude with the Broadcom??? Bluetooth stack. Your Bluetooth applications will likely be slightly different.

  1. Go to My Computer and open up 'My Bluetooth Places'
  2. Select 'Add Bluetooth Device' from the 'Bluetooth' menu
  3. Check to make sure the drop-down menu says 'Show All Devices' and you should see the Holux device listed
  4. Select it and enter '0000' as the passcode for pairing
  5. Check the box next 'SPP Slave' and click 'Configure'.
  6. Name the connection whatever you'd like, but make sure to note the COM port listed here

The RCV-3000 should now be connected. When you want to connect in the future, right-click on the Bluetooth tray icon and select Quick Connect --> Bluetooth Serial Port --> Holux_RCV-3000.

Please note that transferring data points over Bluetooth is significantly slower than over USB due to limitations of the NMEA Interface Standard. Also, if the battery in the RCV-3000 is dead, you can power it via USB, even while using Bluetooth connectivity.

USB

  1. Download the driver for the LOCOSYS GPS Serial Interface driver:
    http://www.holux.com/JCore/en/products/products_download.jsp?pno=440
