Most of the time the raspberry detects it as HiLink ~ $ lsusbīus 001 Device 004: ID 12d1:1f01 Huawei Technologies Co., ~ $ lsusbīus 001 Device 006: ID 12d1:14dc Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. When I plug the device in my raspberry pi USB port, the device cget recognized as 12d1:1f01 (CD mode) or 12d1:14dc (HiLink mode).
mostly playing with usb_switchmode linux tool and magic strings, I managed to find a simple way to get the USB modem appear among the devices recognized by my computer.
Since nothing of that is barely possible, my target was to make this device work as standard USB modem to which I can talk to using standard serial AT commands.Īfter reading here and there on the internet. and it would be great for me too if it would have set my computer as bastion host or it would have allowed me to forward a few ports to the internet. This way of working is called HiLink mode and it would be the best option for most of people out there. A few days back I bought a Huawei E3372 4g usb dongle (mokkula in finnish:D) from DNA Finland for about 50 euros.Īs any other Huawei surf stick, this device doesn’t work as usb modem but by default it works as a gateway router over usb ethernet.
