LTE - Modem Works But Cannot Ping

[tom]

@vmassague Are you using the LTE V2 Add-on or Stand Alone? And you're using the Sierra 7607 modem correct?

[derrick0799]

@tom, I am using the add-on

[vmassague]

@tom I'm using the Add-on also and I'm using the Sierra 7607

[tom]

@derrick0799 Can you disable the voxl-modem service from running with systemctl disable voxl-modem and reboot your voxl.

Then run voxl-modem-start.sh manually so I can see the full output?

@vmassague Can you disable the voxl-modem service from running with systemctl disable voxl-modem and reboot your voxl.

[derrick0799]

@tom, sure. It will be later this evening before I am able to do so.

[tom]

@derrick0799 @vmassague Another thing for both of you to check is to see if the APN is indeed set correctly, you can do this with the following command:

/ # echo -ne "AT+CGDCONT?\r" | busybox microcom -t 1000 /dev/ttyUSB2
AT+CGDCONT?
+CGDCONT: 1,"IP","h2g2","0.0.0.0",0,0,0,0
+CGDCONT: 2,"IPV4V6","ims","0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0",0,0,0,0
+CGDCONT: 3,"IPV4V6","sos","0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0",0,0,0,1

In this case, my APN is h2g2 for GoogleFi

[derrick0799]

@tom I ran 'systemctl disable voxl-modem' and reboot voxl then...

OK

[tom]

@derrick0799 Do you have WiFi connected? If so, try disabling it with ifconfig wlan0 down and seeing if you can then ping.

Also, can I see the output of route -n?

Same for you @vmassague something to try.

[tom]

@derrick0799 Looks like APN is setting correctly so that's good

[derrick0799]

@tom after disabling wlan0,

@derrick0799 What does ifconfig show?

@derrick0799 Is that the output after running voxl-modem-start.sh?

[tom]

At that point, you should be seeing something similar to:

wwan0     Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

[derrick0799]

@tom I think my problem was that the wifi was connected when I ran the voxl-modem-start.sh
Now that I am connect with adb everything started working when I re-ran voxl-modem-start.sh. It is pinging as it should.

Thanks @Tom

[tom]

@derrick0799 Great to hear!

[vmassague]

Problem solved for me too! I think it was also the wlan0 being up. Thanks a lot for the support @tom
