Scott and Kerry,

That modified chat script was one of the ones i have tried. The debug for that is:

Feb 12 02:52:01.671: Ce0 DDR: re-enable timeout
Feb 12 02:52:01.671: Ce0 DDR: Attempting to dial hspa
Feb 12 02:52:01.671: CHAT3: Attempting async line dialer script
Feb 12 02:52:01.671: CHAT3: Dialing using Modem script: hspa & System script: none
Feb 12 02:52:01.671: CHAT3: process started
Feb 12 02:52:01.671: CHAT3: Asserting DTR
Feb 12 02:52:01.671: CHAT3: Chat script hspa started
Feb 12 02:52:01.671: CHAT3: Sending string: AT!SCACT=1,1
Feb 12 02:52:01.671: CHAT3: Expecting string: OK.
Feb 12 02:53:01.671: CHAT3: Timeout expecting: OK
Feb 12 02:53:01.671: CHAT3: Chat script hspa finished, status = Connection timed out; remote host not responding
Feb 12 02:53:01.671: Ce0 DDR: disconnecting call
Feb 12 02:53:16.671: Ce0 DDR: re-enable timeout

This is using a Vodafone SIM.

The other command of relevance is:
cellular 0 gsm profile create 1 direct.vodafone.net.nz

i have also tried
cellular 0 gsm profile create 1 www.vodafone.net.nz

I would think that i have a faulty unit except this is the second unit i have tried.

We’ve got quite a few out there, important bits below, remember NAT on inside interface and diaper-list.

One niggle we haven’t solved is the ones we have on Vodafone suffer from the cellular interface going dead after a few days, we’ve had to resort to inserting a cron in the router to kill the Cellular interface daily then bring it back up – I’ve not spent enough time to work out if it’s a Vodafone issue or a Cisco issue, but it doesn’t happen on the ones we have using Telecom SIM’s.

Afternoon,

This is a reach out for anyone else using Cisco881g / Cisco887vag routers with 3G backup.

We have just started getting the new routers into stock that use the new cellular modems. Our normal connection scripts don't work any more and we have been unable to find the required connection details for either vodafone or telecom connections.

I am hoping in exchange for BEER, someone out there has worked it out.
(We have a pending case with TAC but I hope this will be faster).
