Install Smartfren USB Modem CE682 in Lubuntu 12.04

I have been long time to use Smart Modem, from CDMA Modem until new one the USB Modem Smartfren.

Smartfren CE682 Evdo that I use.

As long I use Smart Product I think USB Smartfren is better and faster than previous Product. I use it in my PC desktop and I use it too in my netbook Acer Aspira One.

And to install it in Lubuntu is quite easy. I have tried this in Lubuntu 11.10 and the new one is Lubuntu 12.04.

This is simple way I do to install this Smartfren modem in Lubuntu. The way usually same as when I do it in Ubuntu.

First - open LXTerminal.

Start > Accessories > LXTerminal then type

sudo leafpad /etc/wvdial.conf

New window will appear then fill or replace with this script

[Dialer smart]

Init1 = ATZ

Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0

Carier Check = no

Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0

Command Line = ATDT

Phone = #777

Idle Seconds = 0

Password = smart

Modem Type = Analog Modem

Stupid Mode = yes

Baud = 460800

New PPPD = yes

Ask Password = 0

ISDN = 0

Username = smart

Save and exit.

Second - check the product ID type

sudo lsusb 

itsnex@itsnex-AO532h:~$ sudo lsusb

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04f2:b19d Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd 

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1c4f:0003 SiGma Micro HID controller

Bus 003 Device 003: ID 201e:1022

If the ID is 201e:1023 it means that your USB modem is detected as cd-room. So we need to eject this medium first by type the command

sudo eject /dev/sr0 

You can change sr0 with sr1 or sr2 until you find no error

Third - type or paste this command

sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x201e product=0x1022

Now type

sudo wvdial smart

If you success you will find this messages

itsnex@itsnex-AO532h:~$ sudo wvdial smart
