USB Modem naming conventions

Hello All,
I have one query regarding the USB modem enumeration in MAC OS X, using CDC drivers,
I have observed that for some USB over serial connections the the serial port enumeration is as given below,
tty.usbmodem1513
tty.usbmodem1512
and for some USB over serial adapters the enumeration naming changes with a alphabet with it,
tty.usbmodem1d13
tty.usbmodem1d14
It also changes with mac book pro and mac book air and imac. What is the logic behind the naming convention of serial port enumeration.

No idea Gulchy, but I reckon you'd get the good oil in the forums at http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/
More Aussie users there than here, many of whom are Mac users, and it specialises in communications issues.
If you want to create your own new "thread" here, go to the relevant sub board (eg http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=880&start=0) and click on the "post new topic" button in the top left hand section of the page . You have to be in the subforum to see this (ie "Internet, Networking and your iMac G5", not in overarching "iMac G5" page, for example.)
Cheers from Melbourne

Faxing with Apple USB Modem (external) - Can you do it?

I bought the new iMac G5 with built in iSight BUT no built in Modem. Apple offers a USB Modem and it says you can fax BUT one of the posts said they could NOT fax. Has anyone successfully sent and received faxes using the Apple USB Modem preferably from a new iMac?

The following appeared in yesterday's MacInTouch.com column:
Chuck Counselman sent a follow-up to his Nov. 16 note about faxing with Apple's new USB external modem:
I've since solved the problem. Now my Apple USB Modem not only sends and receives faxes; it also dials into Earthlink and makes a PPP connection to the Internet. For others' possible benefit, here is a description of what I did that worked. I don't know how much of what I did was necessary.
In System Preferences > Network, I defined a new Location (which I named "USB Modem," but the name is not important). In the "Show" pop-up menu, I chose "External Modem." Under the "PPP" tab I entered my Service Provider's name, my Account Name and Password, and primary and alternate telephone numbers for my ISP's modem pools; and I clicked "Apply Now." Under the "TCP/IP" tab, in the "Configure IPv4" menu, I left the default choice "Using PPP" unchanged. Under the "Modem" tab, in the "Modem" menu, I chose "Apple External 56K Modem (v.92)"; I left the other default choices unchanged; and I clicked "Apply Now". Then I closed System Preferences.
Via the data-modem menu in the OS menu bar, I chose "Connect," and was pleased to hear and see the familiar sounds and sights of a dial-up connection. I surfed the web for a couple of minutes just to test the connection; it was fine.
In System Preferences > Print & Fax, under the "Faxing" tab I had already entered my fax number and a "Save to" folder name. Now I clicked the "Set Up Fax Modem" button. A day earlier, clicking this button had gotten me an empty "Fax List" window. Now it got me a "Fax List" window containing one entry with the name "External Modem."
And now the Apple USB Modem answered calls, received faxes, and saved them in the folder I'd designated. Now I could send faxes, too, following the instructions in the OS Help.
I returned to my original Location, where my Network connection was via Airport, not via the USB modem. Now, in the data-modem menu in the OS Menu Bar, the "Connect" command was grayed out (as expected). However, the USB modem continued to function for faxing.

3g usb modem does not work on Lion?

I have had a 3g usb modem for almost two years now, it worked fine on Snow Leopard but does not pick up any connection to any cell tower after my upgrade to Lion. Any suggestions?

Thank you 'etresoft'. With minimal information from me you have provided a fix to the problem. Although, the cost at 49.5 euros per computer is a bit steep. I think I will just buy a later spec modem at $A79 and be able to use it on all my computers. Regards from iadoreapples

Connection Speed reading for external USB Modem ????

In previous versions of the Mac OS, I've been able to see a readout of my connection speed achieved with a dial-up modem and telephone line (e.g. 28 kbps, 33 kbps, 50 kbps etc etc) but under this latest 10.5 Version of OS X I can't see this speed in the networking software that controls my Apple USB modem.
Has this feature been dropped with 10.5 ?
If not, how do I see the speed. It would be very helpful to see it as I sometimes travel to some pretty remote areas where phone lines are poor - so if you know the actual connect speed you have a good idea of what sort of size of downloads to attempt and not to attempt while on-line.
I can see such parameters as my time connected and IP address assigned by the ISP, but no connect speed.

I realize the speed that used to be shown was the initial speed the two modems involved, mine and the ISP's, negotiated to establish the connection and I also realize that is not the actual download speed.
But it's still helpful to know that initial speed because it is a rough indicator of line quality ands gives one an idea of how rapidly he will be able to communicate - clearly there will be a significant difference for the better in performance for the online session if one can achieve a connect speed of, say 50k, as opposewd to 28k or less on a poorer line.

Using cell phone as a 3G USB modem for Leopard

Hi All,
I just get an MacBook Pro the last week, I was happy with the UI of the OS at first sight, but when come to the setting of the network, I am really frustrated.
I get a SE P1i cell phone, I would like to use it as a usb modem for my MAC so that I can have 3G internet connection when on the road. But the problem is that, I can't connect it to my MAC at all!
Leopard can regonize my phone but it seems that none of the modem script(including the SONY ERICSSON script pre-installed) work for my phone. when I checked in the activity log, I see that the result of running every modem scripts are
"CCLExit: -6019 (Modem error, modem not responding.)"
I guess it should not be the problem of my phone as I try using SE K800i, the same result...
although I know that I can use the bluetooth rather the USB cable to connect them together, I would prefer USB cable as it is faster and more secure.
anyway, any help would be appreciated.

detailed instructions:
http://blog.evandavey.com/2008/02/how-to-connect-huawei-e220-usb-modem.html
scripts (and instructions):

(generally I understand one does the same as with a bluetooth phone, but plugs in the usb cable and skips the bluetooth part)

AT Commands sent to USB Modem

Hi,
I am trying to send AT commands to a USB modem using VC++. I found the code below online and have tried using it. I do not get any errors but it doesn't appear to be working.
I used Putty to set AT+CMGF= 0. However after I run this code, when I check the value of AT+CMGF it is still 0, so although no error is being thrown up, it doesn't seem to be sending correctly.
Any help would be great thanks.
#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>
#include <string.h>
using std::string;
int main() {
std::string data = "AT+CMGF=1";
DCB dcb;
DWORD byteswritten;
HANDLE hPort = CreateFile(
"COM3", //"\\\\.\\COM10"
GENERIC_WRITE | GENERIC_READ,
FILE_SHARE_READ| FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
0,
NULL
DWORD dwerror = GetLastError();
if (GetCommState(hPort,&dcb) == 0) {
return false; }
dcb.BaudRate = CBR_9600; //9600 Baud
dcb.ByteSize = 8; //8 data bits
dcb.Parity = NOPARITY; //no parity
dcb.StopBits = ONESTOPBIT; //1 stop
if (!SetCommState(hPort,&dcb))
return false;
bool retVal = WriteFile(hPort,&data,200,&byteswritten,NULL);
dwerror = GetLastError();
CloseHandle(hPort); //close the handle
return retVal;

SOLVED: just needed to add \r\n after my commands
Okay, not solved! The first command, setting CMGF=1 works, nothing else seems to go through though. i.e. if CMGF is 0 and i run this code setting it to 1, it changes to 1 when I check the value in putty.
I'm not sure if im doing something wrong in the way I send the CMGS and text message commands.
No errors come up...but the text message isn't sent. I send the CMGF and CMGS commands followed by a carriage return and the text message content followed by the SUB (CTRL+Z). doesn't seem to work. If I try reading the serial port using ReadFile() it
just hangs without setting a timeout. Any help would be appreciated.

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.

Storage Location Naming Convention without WM!

Dear all
We are facing serious problem in our Storage Location for Raw Material.
We have 4 types of Raw Material Seating (S), Panel (P), Metal (M), Wood (W). And they are all stored under Storage Location: RWSL.
Requirement:
Although we have visual guideline as to which industrial rack will store the type of Material, it is insufficient. We need a more refined storage location down to which BIN of the rack we will put the Raw Material.
Due to limited time and resource, we cannot have WM implemented right now. Thus, we have come out with 2 alternative to overcome this problem:
Alternative 01:
We will use the Fixed Bin field in Storage Data 02 by putting the Bin number assigned to each Rack.
E.g. For Seating material code:SEAT01, we will maintain the Fixed Bin as R12A01/A02, it means this Seating material SEAT01 will be stored at Rack 12, fixed bin A01 or A02.
Question to Alternative 01: Will it cause problem in GR, GR, Transfer Posting and Stock Count?
Alternative 02:
Instead of going into details to put Fixed Bin field in Storage Data 2, we will abandan the existing Storage Location RMSL by introducing new format for Storage Location
Here is the example of Alternative 02:
For raw materials, we will use 4 digits location numbers, consistent with other Storage locations, the 4 digits storage location will start with u201CR _ _ _u201D to represent each location
And,
R _ _ _ is:
R = Raw materials
2nd digit = Division (S= Seating, P =Panel, W=Wood, M=Metal and W=Wood)
3rd digit = Rack Number (A, B, C, Du2026 and etc.)
4th digit = Rack Zone - each rack will broken down into zone, each rack can possibility have 2 to 3 zone. 1 Zone can be 1 colume of the Rack
An example of a possible location and its meaning will be
RSA1 = Raw materials warehouse, Seating division, Rack A, Zone 1
RPB3 = Raw materials warehouse, Panel Division, Rack B, Zone 3
The challenge of this is that instead of having 1 Raw Material Storage Location like RMSL, we will have a lot more storage locations each for division of Raw material due to the Rack Number we have as well as the Rack Zone.
Question to Alternative 02:
If we use this alternative, will it impact our future implementation of WM? From design wise, is it feasible?
Please advise what is the best approach and the feasible design on it.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi, here is the Pro and Co of both approaches:
Method 01: Use existing SLOC and add the Storage Bin info
e.g. SLOC: STM1
         Storage Bin: RSC3, where RS = Rack Seating, C3 = column 3
Pro 01:
It will cause less effort as we only need to use LSMW for material master to add in the Storage Bin data for all material of SCM.
Pro 02:
I have tested out that in TCode MIGO, apart from SLOC, the pertaining Storage Bin data also appear. Based on my discuss with Xian Chen, sometimes they use MB1C(GR), MB1A(GI) rather than MIGO due to speed issue, I will need to check the field status if can have Storage Bin field APPEAR, if can, it will solve the problem
Con 01:
The Storage Bin information will only appear in MMBE (Stock Overview) but will not appear in the standard SAP Inventory Report (e.g. MB52 Warehouse Stock). To view it from SAP Inventory Report, we may need to customize the standard report to show the new field Storage Bin. It needs Abap effort.
Con 02:
We must have a very good naming convention for Storage Bin. And again, in the above example, if a material is put in SLOC STM1 at Storage Bin RA A1 or C4, it will set a very rigid rule in the future if we need to change it, as I fear that one the Storage Bin has been used up. It will not allow us to change (need to do testing to find out)
Con 03:
Do we have the time to define all the Storage Bin for each SLOC? Operation wise, the store personnel needs to design it
Method 02: Use the new SLOC
Pro 01:
RSA1 = Raw materials warehouse, Seating division, Rack A, Zone 1. More organized. Easy to tell the material is at which Rack and which Zone of the Rack.
Assumption:
01. we must not have too many rack for one Seating division and also not too many Zone for each
      Division, else it will cause confusion
02. 1 material should stick to 1 Rack 1 zone as much as possible, else later the PP consultant will
     have hard to to perform GI due to too many SLOC assigned to a material.
Pro 02:
In report wise, we are able to show the SLOC in inventory report. No need to enhance the existing inventory report as we do not use Storage Bin.
Con 01:
If there are too many SLOC creation due to it. It may cause problem for PP perform GI as too many selection available for a material. This can be avoided if stick to the General Rule that one material is tied with one SLOC.

After upgrading to Yosemite, MF 820 ZTE Telenor USB modem does not start, system slow down dramatically / Macbook Pro Retina late 2012/. Also Thunderbolt plug in for Ethernet make the same ! Any idea ?

After upgrading to Yosemite, If i plug in my Zte MF 820 LTE modem into my Macbook Pro USB socket or a Thunderbolt USB Ethernet converter/ into my Notebook, it slow down dramatically the system, unusable, need to reboot and unplug the USB moderm or Thunderbolt interface. So it does work only without any plug in device..!?
Any idea ?

How To Run Telia ZTE MF820D 4G Modem On Lion
Open Network Preferences
Choose the ZTEUSBModem interface
Set “Configuration” to Default
Set “Phone Number” to *99#
Leave “User Name” and “Password” blank.
Check the “Show modem status in menu bar” checkbox for convenience.
Click “Advanced…”
Set “Vendor” to Other
Set “Model” to ZTE USB Modem.
Now click the little phone in the menubar and choose “Connect” from the dropdown.

Can i connect my ipod touch to internet, via a laptop that is connected to the net by a USB modem/dongle

I have an i pod touch, which i use to facetime friends abroad when i am at home in the uk. I work on a ship and we have very limited broadband and we are not permitted to stream through company PC's. When we are in port what i would like to do is buy a USB modem/dongle (locally, as of now i am in indonesia) for my laptop, and connect to the net using that. Is it possible to make the laptop a wfi hot spot and then connect my touch so i can facetime.
Is it technically doable?
How much data does facetime use, and would it be an expensive way to do it?

Yes. Google for
setup window 7 (or the OS you have) as wofo hotspot
See:
http://www.geeksugar.com/How-Much-Data-Does-iPhone-4S-FaceTime-Use-23562212
for comparison, according to one test of an iPhone 4 FaceTime call, about 3MB of data were used per minute over 3G service. Using this rule, a one-hour FaceTime phone call would use a scant 0.175GB of data.

Unlimited Data Plan on USB Modem

Hello, I'm new to forum and I apologize if this has already been discussed but I haven't seen my particular situation anywhere;
I have a 3G USB modem on the much talked about unlimited data plan. What I have is a month-by-month unlimited plan which is a completely separate entity from my cellphone contracts. I've had this unlimited plan since 2005. (Interestingly, it doesn't seem to me that my usage is being throttled at all, even with heavy usage.) Has anyone heard any news in particular regardingun those of us who still have an unlimited data USB modem plan? Thank you!

I'm definitely aware of this. The beauty is, my 3G modem is quite fast; I can stream Netflix, Hulu and Amazon with almost no hits or interruption of playback. Plus, I had the foresight (I hope!) to buy a backup 3G modem of the same model in case mine gives out or breaks. I'm just hoping that in my case, the grandfathering stays in effect; everything I've seen regarding the elimination of the unlimited data option refers to the phone version of the unlimited data plan, but nothing regarding the USB modem version. Thank you, Ann!

USB Modem no longer working on MacBook

I have been using my Virgin Broadband (Huawei E169) USB modem with my MacBook for the last twelve months. Apart from a huge hiccup when I upgraded to Snow Leopard it has worked flawlessly. Recently I had to restore my MacBook from my Time Capsule as it refused to boot up, and since then I've not been able to use my USB wireless modem. It works fine on my iMac and on my Son's PC Dell Laptop.
When I try to connect, I either get a message that says 'unable to connect to PPP server' or I the 'auto open' closes immediately and I get a huge error report. I have copied the report if anyone is interested, I'll include it on a future post.
I've rung my ISP and Apple Care and have had no success. I've tried a friend's USB modem, and was unable to get it to connect, I also tried mine on her MacBook and got the same errors as on my MacBook.
At this point, I have also checked that I have the latest Mobile Connect and the latest firmware, and have compared files with those on my iMac, and I cannot find the discrepancy. I still don't know whether my MacBook is at fault of the USB device itself. I am loathe to buy a new USB modem, until I know for sure. I don't know what to try next though.
Thank you.

The irony of this problem is that I solved it using a post from here which I'd copied from Whirlpool last year. I'd gone through every solution taht I could find, several times over an in the end used this one which worked perfectly. It was actually my last resort, I'd run out of options. Thought I'd best post back here, just in case someone else has an issue.
This post was found @ www.whirlpoo.net.au by Designed. The OP posted this solution
Thought this was important and needed to be posted here too. I'm up and running again, and very very happy
The solution I found to work is :
1. Open up Terminal.
2. Become root using sudo -i (using your user account password when prompted)
3. Paste the following command in: echo "refuse-chap\nrefuse-mschap\nrefuse-mschap-v2" >> /etc/ppp/options
Next Step
Plug in the device, when the disk image mounts, right click on the app and choose 'show package contents'
Navigate through contents -> resources -> and run the MobileConnect_DrvApp.pkg
Reboot
Then in system prefs -> network
you will see HUAWEI Mobile (not connected)
Add the following settings
telephone number : *99#
account name : VirginBroadBand
password : VirginBroadBand
TICKED Show Modem status in menu bar
I didn't have to change any advanced settings, but to confim them
(In Advanaced Settings)
Vendor : Generic
Model : Dialup Device
TICKED Enable Error correction and comptession in modem
Dial Mode: Wait for dial tone before dialing
Dialing TICKED Tone
Sound TICKED On
Now I connect via the icon in the status menu

Apple USB modem no longer works with Mountain Lion

Now that I've upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion my Apple USB modem no longer works. Does anyone know of a software fix or have I just lost my faxing ability with this item and have to buy something else?

That's a very sad situation as the Official statement link above (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3152) states that the modem cannot be used with any Windows. So Apple thinks that people investing in the ability to Fax and relying in Apple's good product only deserves to throw out their modems (because now it is useless on any platform)...
