Configuring a USB Modem
I have recently acquired an external UsRobotics USB modem which I would like to attach to my iMac and use. Having connected the modem to a USB port on my iMac and having seen the modem recognised in System profiler - what do I do next to enable it for use?
Neville,Welcome to Apple Discussons. I could make assumptions to help but it would be better if you answered the following questions first:
Is this to replace the defective internal modem (or do you have a brand new iMac?)
Is this an ADSL (broadband) modem or a 56k dial-up modem.
Here is the US Robitics UK site to get updated drivers for your device.
You will also need to configure your Network Settings (Dial-Up and Broadband). This can be done by going to 'Apple Menu' then 'System Preferences' then 'Network'.

Using USB modem with a macbook
I use a vodafone usb modem to connect to the internet , and i am currently trying to download a torrent using Azureus , but my download speed has never been higher than 10kB/s.
Does any one know how to configure a usb modem to Azureus so the speed can improve. Or does anyone know another software which works better with usb modems ... help.My speeds are related to signal strength just like my phone coverage which is relatively the same thing because the usb modem is a phone of sorts. In urban areas, the strength is much stronger than in rural areas but for the most part, I am very happy with Verizon. I've found that the device is not as important as the provider and the quality of their network.
To me, the ability to use my machine anywhere I choose is appealing regardless of the speed. -
Deleted CDMA USB Modem from Port Configurations... Can't get it back!
A while back, I was trying out a wireless USB CDMA modem. I didn't really like it and was mainly just using it for testing purposes, and after I was done with it I deleted the port configuration out of my Network Config, thinking A) I'd never need it again and B) It would repopulate or at least be able to be recreated if I wanted to use it again.
Well, this weekend I'm out of town in an area where I don't have an internet connection regularly and need the ability to connect without relying on WIFI. So I reactivated the USB modem and went on my way. As soon as I put the card in, though, nothing happens. Normally the card would automatically detect and even open up its own connection software in the title bar. This time, nothing. So I boot into Windows and test it out there: works fine. Detects, connects, loads webpages, everything. So it's not the card.
I go back into OS X and see if there's anyway to manually add it. I check in System Profiler, and sure enough, under USB the card is recognized. Not in modems, though, but I can't remember if it populated there before. Anyway, I go into Network Config, try to add a port, but the only things available are the typical Ethernet, Airport, Bluetooth, etc. No USB, no CDMA modem, nothing I need.
So what I'm thinking is, when I deleted the old CDMA modem setting in Network Port Configs, its pretty much permanently deleted it. My question is, is there any way for me to manually get it back? I really could use the benefit of this card at the moment.
Thanks for any help,
BryanI had not heard of that brand. Out here we get a lot of stuff from China and Korea.
After I wrote that last night, I had a closer look at my settings and the CDMA modem I have is shown in the Network Configurations panel -- yours is not, you say.
Sorry, if I was not clear about the point concerning Bluetooth. That panel provides a list of ALL modem drivers, so I was suggesting that you had a look in there, in case there might be a suitable modem driver you could use.
I had two of these modems (one was stolen) the first used that Null modem driver while the other used a Huawei driver that I had to work hard to make the local company find.
I just looked at the Franklin Support pages and as you say, they do not appear to have a driver listed for Macs, only the user guide.
As a late thought, and not wishing to sound funny at all: have you tried the other USB port? With one of the CDMA modems I had it would work perfectly in one port but in the other the computer never recognised it.

I'm trying to connect to Netzero with the imac dualcore and an Apple USB modem. Netzero prompts the modem is configured improperly, and when I go into the network preferences to fix it, only INTERNAL modems are listed. There is no option to select a usb modem. Any suggestions or solutions would be appreciated.
Open Network, select the Internal Modem port and
click on the Configure button. Click on the Modem
tab. From the drop down Modem list select Apple
Internal 56K Modem (v.90). Click on Apply Now
button. Click on the PPP tab and set the Configure
IPv4 drop down menu to DHCP and click on the Apply
Now button. Check your PPP configuration to be sure
you have the correct telephone number, userid, and
password to log into your account. If you make any
changes click on the Apply Now button before quitting
Network.
Kappy, thanks for the tips. In the PPP tab, there is no drop down menu for DHCP. Also, when I hit apply, the password field magically changes from my 6-character password, to a 20 character password. I change it back and try to connect, and get an error message from Netzero that my modem settings are incorrect. -

USB modem and Internet Sharing causes system to hang.
First my setup. I have a Mac mini (early 2009) running 10.7.2 connected to the Internet using a Sony Ericsson W910 as a USB modem. I am using Internet sharing via Ethernet to a 1st generation (n) AirPort Extreme to give Wi-Fi to other devices (iPhone, Xbox 360, PS3 etc).
Now the problem: When Internet Sharing is on regardless of what interfaces are used (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth PAN etc) eventually—that word is key—my system will hang. Internet will be unavailable to every device and my Mac itself (but they will still be connected to Wi-Fi) and any app that is running willbeachball. Any app I launch—or try to—will also beachball. I've tried leaving it to see if it will resolve itself —even overnight—but it always requires a hard reset.
The eventually part. I haven't figured out what causes this but I have an idea which I'll explain later. The times this happens is totally random. It has gone days with no problems and other times has happened minutes apart. Usually it's about every 12-24 hours.
It's definitely Internet Sharing which is causing this because when I turn it off I don't have any problems. I've tried every configuration. Only sharing via my mini's Wi-Fi or Ethernet, leaving the AirPort out etc. As soon as I turn on Internet Sharing I've started a countdown to a hang.
On inspecting the Console the last messages before a hang without fail are always:
12/12/2011 06:31:07.000 kernel: 80 80 AppleUSBCDCECMData: getOutputBuffer - Output buffer pool empty
12/12/2011 06:31:07.000 kernel: 80 66 AppleUSBCDCECMData: USBTransmitPacket - Output buffer unavailable
12/12/2011 06:58:58.312 com.apple.usbmuxd: _handle_timer Fish out of water!!!
Repeated hundreds of times. Quick Googling indicates that AppleUSBCDCECMData is a USB driver. Apparently I have version 4.1.15 which appears to be the latest.
I'm aware this is a rare configuration but I believe it affects every USB not just this particular phone.
Is anybody else experiencing this or knows a way to fix it?
Thanks.Thanks Barry.
The hub is on its way to the manufacturer for after sales service...
But the issue with AirPort remains the same, even after resetting SMC.
Some clarification:
* It happens just after computer wakes up from sleep. Restarting solves the problem and the issue doesn't arise until computer goes standby again.
* The whole WiFi card becomes unresponsive. It is not only the Turn Off button, but the whole functionality is stopped. The card can not be activated/deactivated and it doesn't connect to any network. If it is used for internet sharing, clients are unable to connect. -

How do I share a 3G USB modem connected to my Macbook Pro with my Airport Express?
Hi. I have a 3g USB modem connected to my macbook pro, and I want to try share the signal with my Airport Express (latest model).
Now before everybody screams that it can't be done, I was searching the forums and found a discussion in which someone describes how to do it from 2008, unfortunately it is archived and I couldn't ask the author directly, and the description doesn't go into much detail.
In the thread, the author describes turning internet sharing on to share the USB modem, creating a network on the macbook, then renaming the Airport Express network name the same as the macbook, and setting the AX to Join a Network.
Problem being there is no description of whether the macbook connected to the AX via ethernet or wifi, what settings were changed on the AX eg bridge mode.
Is this possible in theory, and has anybody had any success sharing a 3g USB modem via a macbook pro to an AX? I know there are other options like getting 3g ethernet modems, unfortunately not an option in this case - new house, waiting for DSL to be installed, 2-3 month wait.
ThanksWell, you cannot use the 3G USB modem plugged directly into the Express. However, you can configure your MacBook Pro to do 'Internet sharing' (SysPrefs>Sharing) over the Ethernet port, and then connect your Express into the Ethernet port. Alternatively, you could always get your MacBook to 'create a wireless network'.

You could always look for open WiFi networks to *cough*borrow*cough* . -
HylaFax on OS X 10.4.7 Working with internal modem but not USB Modem
I have managed to configure and install HylaFax on a powerbook G4 with an internal fax/modem.
Only a couple of hangups to get that configuration to work.
As per the prerequisites outline here:HylaFax Prerequisites
You need the Xcode tools to use it's compiler.
The only other thing you may not have is:
libtiff
ghostscript
If you are running an x-serve you probably already have an MTA as well (postfix)
There are someOS X Specific install instructions of which I only had to follow the first couple, to create a user. Some of the latter instructions I found unecessary since startup is handled by launchd as far as I understand.
Before I compiled I had to put the hylafax source on a thumb drive, I know it seems wierd, but it worked. Something to do with the HFS+ format of the hard drive. But low and behold it worked. (the hylafax website mentions issues with other disk formatting besides UFS, but the fat32 formatted thumb drive worked for me)
A little side note:
You need to actually download the ghostscript fonts from the ghostscript project FTP site and mv them to the proper location:
/usr/local/share/ghostscript/8.54/fonts/
Once installed run:
/usr/local/sbin/faxsetup
It should prompt you to install your modems.
After doing this I had to start hylafax
#sudo /usr/local/sbin/hylfax start
and run a faxgetty command to enable incomming and outgoing
#sudo /usr/local/sbin/faxgetty ttys.modem
After doing so I was able to receive faxes and open them up with a pdf viewer, as well as send faxes via an application or printer driver on the mac and PC (windows xp with win hylafax print) Super SIMPLE! which is great for end users.
Okay so here is why I am actually posting on here. It is great that I got this working, but the final configuration will be on an x-serve that has no internal modem, and I would like to use more than one modem in case of high traffic incoming and outgoing. I purchased 2 apple usb fax/modems and when running faxaddmodem it even recognizes the modem, but never is fully able to use it like the internal modem. If anyone has any insight it would be great.
The issue I am seeing is that when I run
/usr/local/bin/faxstat -s
The modem says Waiting for modem to come ready
Thanks!Just wanted to say I got hylafax to work with a usb modem on a powerbook, not sure if it's stable and user friendly enough to be used my a wide base here, but it's definitely cool, and it does work. I just wish it had LDAP/mysql integration, instead of the flat file business it has.
Anybody with any input on hylafax would be great. -

USB modem in network worked, but accidentaly deleted, and now can't replace it.
I recently succesfully connected a Nokia 6120 cellphone to use as a 3G modem; the last time I used this was in 2009.
The USB connection and network place in my network settings "migrated" to its proper place when I upgraded to Lion this year, and when I tried the Nokia again it worked, connected through USB.
There was a second Nokia network choice on the list in my Network prefs, which I deleted, thinking that it was not necessary. After that deletion, the remaining Nokia setting would not connect the computer to the phone, and of course would provide internet access.
I tried duplicating the old setting, but now I can't select a USB option when configuring it.
All my research indicates that this is due to Lion no longer supporting USB modems. However, my Nokia worked just fine, and the old Network via USB setting was still present in Network preferences, and worked just fine until the deletion of one of the Nokia settings.
Does anyone know of a work-around or a patch that will add USB connectivity to Network preferences in Lion?
BTW... tried connecting through Bluetooth; I can pair the phone to the computer, but it will not make the modem connetion.
Would the bluetooth transfer rate be too slow, anyway?
Thanks in advance
GlennFound the problem!
Check this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/4028119#4028119
There are, in fact, modem scripts available, and they go into the Library/Modem Scripts folder.
By deleting the extra configuration, I deleted the old scripts. I downloaded and installed the 3G Nokia scripts from the website shown in the above thread, and my configurations re appeared in Network prefs;
I went one step further; I connected to the internet using the restored configuration, then selected and deleted (using the - at the bottom of the list) while the connection was working. It got rid of the second configuration but kept the valid one. Hopefully, It will still be available when I attempt to connect again.

Hi,
Listed below is the step by step intructions to configure the Nokia device as a modem to a mac.
Steps:
Connecting your Mac to the internet is convenient and easy with your a compatible Nokia S60 device. You'll need a Nokia S60 device that supports a 2G or 3G data connection (such as GPRS or HSDPA), a compatible Mac (with the latest OS X), a USB cable for your Nokia device or a Bluetooth-enabled Mac, and a network subscription with your mobile service provider.
To set up your device you'll need to know your operator's Access Point Name (APN) and have the packet data service enabled. For help with this please contact your operator.
In Settings select and open Connection >Select and open Packet data > Select and open Access point >Type in your operator's Access Point Name
Exit Settings. Your device is now ready to be used as a modem for your Mac!
Bluetooth Connection: Pairing between Mac and Device using bluetooth, follow the instruction from here: http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/device-as-a-modem/connect-to-your...
Note: Preferred mode is USB as it much faster than Bluetooth.
Connect the device and then go to System preferences- >Network- >Select Device (Nokia XXX)
Click on Advanced Tab > Modem tab
- Vendor : Nokia
-Model:GPRS (GSM/3G)
-Telephone Number: *99***1# (contact your operator to get this settings)
-APN: airtelgprs.com (contact your operator to get this settings)
CID: 1
Once connected it will be highlighted in green.
Hopefully this helps.
Cheers
Sandy

Helpful information, then dont forget to hit the kudos star :-) Or say it accepted solution and thanks -
I'm thinking the modem is going out on my older PowerBook G4. I purchased an Apple USB modem as a replacement. In the list of modems available in System Prefs/Network/Modem, the external USB modem doesn't show up (at least that's what my mom says over the phone). Which modem description should I choose to bypass the internal modem in favor of the new Apple USB modem?
Also, under System Prefs/Network/Network Port Configurations it only has the option of 'Internal modem,' the USB one doesn't show up in that list, is that an issue?
Thankshttp://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303262
Apple USB Modem: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What Macintosh computers are compatible with the Apple USB modem?
You can use an Apple USB modem with any Mac computer capable of running Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later. You MUST have Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later installed in order to use this modem. If you Macintosh is running an earlier version of Mac OS X 10.4, upgrade your computer's operating system using Apple Downloads or using Automatic Software Update.
Can I use the Apple USB modem if my Macintosh already has an internal modem?
Yes, but you can only use one modem at a time. Make sure you've selected External Modem in the Internet Connect application if you want to use your Apple USB modem instead of your computer's internal modem. The Apple USB modem's preferences can be seen in the Network pane of System Preferences. From the Show menu, select External Modem.
