WWAN - Sierra Wireless MC5725 Modem

Dear All,
Is it possible to help?
I bought Lenovo X61, 7675-K2U, Windows XP with built in from Lenovo Verizon Sierra Wireless 1xEV-DO Network Adapter, Hardware version MC5725 with antenna and all other necessary things. I am using my Laptop in the Europe, actually in Latvia where are available such providers as: Tele2, Bite (partner of Vodafone), LMT (partner of Telia Sonera). I would like to use WWAN services in my country and I am going to understand that I must to change my current adapter to WWAN Sierra Wireless MC8775 HSDPA adapter. Is it right way and it helps and is it possible to change?
Thank you and best regards,
xAlexx

Your provider may have their own WWAN software (in the case of Vodafone it is Mobile Connect, for AT&T it is Communication Manager, etc. Vodafone even have a Lenovo-specific version of their Mobile Connect).
Or you can use Sierra Wireless' 3G Watcher.
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

Hi @emma22
I would like to do my best to help, but please bear in mind the issue you are expressing is an inquiry for Microsoft not HP. I did find something I think will be most helpful, and I hope it resolves the issue, but if the issue persists, or you have additional questions, it might be best to reach out to the Microsoft community.
Here is what I found; HomeGroup from start to finish.
In the top right hand corner of the article, you can change it from WIndows 7 to Windows 8. I hope this helps.

Sierra wireless cell modem = broken mail.app and safari

Hi Folks,
I had to use my sierra wireless cellular modem to connect to the Internet today and noticed that Mail.app and Safari both refused to connect while everything else (telnet google.com 80, lynx, firefox) all seemed to work fine. When I hook in via ethernet cable or wifi access safari and mail.app work again. Anyone have any ideas?
thanks

Well, a couple of diffs between Safari & Firefox may help you find the problem...
Safari uses DNS & Proxy settings from the OS's CP settings, Firefox uses it's own.

Sierra Wireless 312U modem won't install on MBP 10.6.6

Hi guys,
I have successfully installed the 312U modem watcher on two of my Apple mac's, an early 08 Macpro (OS 10.5.8) and my old Powerbook, Now I have just purchased a latest Macbookpro with SL OSX 10.6.6.
After I install the SW watcher and re start, and re attach the 312U modem, the Installer Icon window comes up again, as if it did not install ?, so i repeated it several times, and uninstalling the program in between in stalls.
I'm located in Australia connected with telstra, the modem works well on the Macpro and the Powerbook,
is the OS to new for the watcher or is it a snow leopard thing?
the modem dosen't show in network preferences either.
Cheers for any advice.

Hi Court,
I have two (blue telstra) 312U modems, one has a Telstra sim card, other has an Optus sim.
If You try the Generic watcher, make sure you uninstall any other watcher program prior to install of the Generic. Not sure how you will go on the Bigpond modem, the software is in-built into the Modem.
You may have to look for some info in the whirpool forums, heaps of knowledge there...

PS make sure your in 32 bit prior to doing anything...I run 64 bit and the "generic watcher" works for me.
Cheers

Sierra Wireless USB AirCard Support

I have been evaluating the product for a bit now, and it seems pretty rock solid. I just started testing with some of out cellular broadband devices and have found an issue with one so far. the Sierra Wireless AirCard 875U is not recognized by ESM. It totally ignores and doesn't apply any policy to the adapter. no firewall or otherwize. Is this a known issue?

I get this behavior with a stock install and the default policy. I can attach my policy files if you still feel its relevant.
I think this is a fairly huge issue, and could allow a user to totally circumvent the ZESM client and leave the machine fully vulnerable.
Can you try the following:
Create a location called wireless
Select an icon for the location
In Wi-Fi Management click the "Filtered Access Points" tab and enter the SSID of your Wireless AP (it is case sensitive)
Save and publish the policy.
Does the ZESM client change locations?

Network Manager fails to connect with Sierra Wireless 3G/4G modem

Hi,
I have three Asus Laptops running with Arch (Asus N56VZ, Asus F3JC, Asus UL80VS). All laptops work with Cinnamon Desktop. Everything works fine except 3G Modem in Network Manager. I have two USB modems: Sierra Wireless AirCard 310U and Sierra Wireless AirCard 320U.
Modems had worked fine in end of year 2012, when NetworkManager version was 0.9.6.4 and ModemManager 0.6.0.0. After update (NM >0.8.X.X, MM >0.7.X. - when the ModemManager.service appeared) until now, I can't connect to the internet on all Asus laptops. Since 2013 I have to use wvdial, because in wvdial modems works fine. It is Arch problem, because in Linux Mint 15 I can connect with NetworkManager.
Sierra AirCard 310U - When I'm connecting to the internet, modem reboots itself.
Sierra AirCard 320U - When I'm connecting to the internet, Network Manager can't obtain DHCP address.
I would be grateful for any help.

I'm going to ask on #fedora and see how i can best diagnose what's going on. At least I now have it working, albeit on an older kernel.

Telstra Bigpond 4G Wireless Modem with Sierra Wireless Battery

I have a Telstra Bigpond 4G Wireless Modem, which is run with a Sierra Wireless Lithium Ion batterry Model W-3, product no. 5200008.I got this from Telstra back in about Ausgust 2013 and have only recently noticed that my battery gets very hot, it is swollen and the edges are coming away from the from the unit. i spoke to my local telstra shop and they said I would have to contact Sierra to get a replacement. Is this what I have to do?And if so can someone lead me to Sierra Wireless website or email or number cause I've done some searching and can't find what i'm looking for.Would Telstra (bigpond) be able to help me with a replacement?CheersVicki

I have read this post and must confess I have always found telstra to be fantastic suficiently so that we changed all our accounts across to telstra after a very long and loyal term with another provider.up untill we purchased the same wireless 4g unit as mentioned in this post we would have argued with anyone downing the tesltra service infact we have recomended amny many driends to our local Browns Plains Independant store (NOT THE TELSTRA SHOP STAFF At TTHE TELSTRA SHOP IN BROWNS PLAINS ARE THE RUDEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER MET THEY CHASE CUSTOMERS AWAY WITH THEIR RUDENESS AND UNWILLINGNESS TO ASSITS INCLUDING THEIR MANAGER WHO I HAD THE MISFORTUNE TO DIRECT A COMPLAINT TO ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE, Telstra are lucy their is an independant resellar in the center)anyway the store the customer service on the phone all have been the best but I have the same problem battery over heating and swallowen luck I found it before it exploded it even popped the back off the unit.I went to my local independant unfortuanatly he didnt have a spare battery he susgested I try the Local Telestra Shop Or Battery world, not wanting to go near the local telstra shop I tried Battery World unfortuneatlly no luch they also advised i try the local Telstra Shop.How stupid am I what an un helpfull bunch of rude animals if I wanted to be treated like i had the plague I could have gone else where and should have they make you feel like you are some kind of criminal for having a problem or dareing to come in to their store how the generate any bussiness is beyond me, but like I fool I tried them no battery to replace my one no replacement units I could buy and no offer of a waranty repair. How ever I could go on another plan and get a different unit to the one I have I cant buy a replacement unit out right for cash because the sim card is locked to the unit but I can start another contract and just keep paying for my old one till its paid out.so I am looking for somewhere to buy a new battery , I have halved the services myself and my company have with telstra and out usuall Telstra accounts have dropped from about $2500 to $3000 dollars a month down to $700 per month while i wait for the contracts to end so the balance can be transfered to another service provider, and the plan with the $G wirless unit attached sits as it has for monthes now being paid for every month with zero useage.I had also tried the customer service line also with little luck and it appear that telstra and bigpond are to seperate idenities so dont ring the wrong one or you will be told in no uncertain terms what an idiot you are for not knowing they are seperate.so to all I say yes I am an Idiot for thinking that Telstra would give good service they are like fair weather friends will look after while you dont have a problem and are paying them without question but dont have a problem because they will dump you like a rat leaving a sinking ship i fanyone knows where i can buy a bettery i woeld be greateful otherise if i find a supply first i will post it herethank you to all for putting up with my rant but sooner all later we say enough is enough and I am not going to take it anymore.What happenned to good old customer service, I guess the electronic age did and face to face contact is no longer required so they can (like I am Now) hide behind their key boards and ignore you or treat you poorly,Please excuse my spelling mistakes I left my glasses in the car and am typing on blurry keys and screen.

Sierra Wireless AT&T WWAN issue

Hi - I've got a Lenovo Thinkpad X300 with an OEM Sierra Wireles MC8775 HSDPA card, driver 2.0.9.0, 1/11/2007. It has worked fine except in two instances: first when traveling from the US to Switzerland, upon arrival it "failed to initialize" the device as I tried to run the dialer. This was true despite cold restarts. About a day later it started working, and working consistently, in Switzerland. Upon return to the US exactly the same phenomenon: unable to initialize for about a day. Then, working fine.Lenovo is ready to replace the card, but does anyone know if this is a software or other glitch for which I shouldn't trouble them? Something having to do with switching countries? (And do I appear to be running the latest firmware/drivers? Firmware is H1_1_9_3MCAP.)
Thanks,JZ

To follow up for any that come later: the card was replaced, but experienced the same phenomenon in going to the Netherlands and back again to the US. This time I downloaded and ran the "Sierra Wireless Watcher." After the wireless radio was turned on it sat at "searching..." for about five minutes, then found the new band. Once found it sticks, so the regular Lenovo dialer can then be used. So it's not a hardware problem, and there's a solution. ...JZ

AT&T 3G (Sierra Wireless) Drivers Working Under 10.6?

Anyone have any luck getting AT$T's Sierra Wireless modem working under 10.6. I have downloaded the latest drivers from Sierra's website which are suppose to allow using Apples WWAN utility; however, the WWAN software does not launch when the device is attached.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drive with no luck.
Any suggestions?

I removed everything Sierra I could find. The problem now is that the modem is recognized as a USB disk rather than a modem. Sierra has a switcher application that is supposed to (at the kernel extension -- kext -- level) switch the modem from USB disk to modem mode. That ought to fire up Snow Leopard's natural drivers.
Problem is -- when I install the lastest switcher kext I can find from Sierra's website, installer tells me it didn't install correctly. I think it works with 10.5.5 (or 10.5.6) and higher, but not with 10.6.
Anyone with more information -- it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I have a support e-mail into Sierra but it will probably take them a while to walk me through all the things I have already done before they get to the meat of the matter. (No slam on Sierra support -- just that most support trails take a while for the support personnel to walk one through the standard stuff.)
I'll let everyone know if I hear anything from Sierra.
Or ... perhaps I have a unique, flaky situation.

WRT54G3G-ST + Sierra Wireless AC597E issue

I've been experiencing some difficulty with my WRT54G3G-ST router in regards to using a Sierra Wireless AC597E. Namely the router fails to recognize the card when plugged in. Everything on the card is still on factory settings, Is there anything particular on the card's setup that needs to be enabled/disabled for the router to recognize it?
The router is using the firmware 2.01.12
Message Edited by Raithgar on 03-04-2008 02:50 PM

Are youusing the a wired broadband router like cable or dsl at the same time using the mobile broadband card? If so, only one service can be used at a time. If the mobile broadband card is enabled, then the wired connection coming from the cable or dsl modem is automatically disabled.

WiFi solution using Telstra wireless USB modem

Having perused the many discussions concerning difficulties with wireless networking using OS X Lion, I now have little confidence as a new Mac owner in establishing such an internet connection unaided .
After much technical support, I come to realise that my current telstra USB modem (sierra wireless compass 885) being used with a pc laptop is not directly compatible with OS X 10.7.3.
My basic need is to have an internet connection on my Macbook and an ideal situation of being able to network with pc, Apple TV and possibly a backup device such as time capsule.
So, I figure my options are to either purchase a new compatible USB modem and router, or purchase a wifi router that will allow me to connect my Mac to the internet wirelessly through the existing pc connection.
Please advise on the viability of these options, insofar as the likelihood of establishing and maintaining such a network without the need for a fixed line ethernet ADSL type connection. Further to this, I would appreciate any recommendations for suitable modems and routers.

Do you need a modem because you have a dial-up ISP? There are several USB modems that work with Macs listed on Amazon. Just search for USB modems and you'll be able to find customer comments suggesting ones that work with Macs. There is a US Robotics on Amazon with reviews that say that it works with Lion -
http://www.amazon.com/USRobotics-USR5637-FaxModem-Windows-Linux/dp/B0013FDLM0/re f=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335769698&sr=8-1
If you have a DSL or cable modem, I would suggest in investing in a good wireless router so that you could connect all your computers. For Time Machine, I don't use the wireless drives that Apple sells, I just use a G-Drive Firewire drive. There are a lot of good outers on the market - I have a LinkSys (Cisco) that I bought a couple of years ago that is a great little 4-port router. Try http://home.cisco.com/en-us/home for a selection of good routers (others here may have other brand preferences, but Cisco has always worked well for me with minimum set-up required).
More specifics would help - what Mac you have, if your ISP is dial-up, DSL or cable, etc.

After I loaded Mac OS lion, it won't let me install my Sierra Wireless telstra. It keeps telling me to install it even though i already have. help please?

After I loaded Mac OS lion, it won't let me install my Sierra Wireless telstra. It keeps telling me to install it even though i already have. help please?

Check for new 64 bit software for the modem, other wise you I'll probably have to boot your Mac in 32 bit mode first.. And then every time you want to go online.
I have the Sierra wireless 306 and have their 64 bit lion software installed. Works well.
Best.

Wireless USB Modem connection problem on MacBook Pro

I am running os x 10.8.2 on my macbook pro and am trying to connect to the internet using an alltel Wireless USB Modem (manual found here: http://pcdphones-client.s3.amazonaws.com/files/709/Alltel_English_Manual.pdf) through verizon. The USB modem works on all my PC's at home and I recently switched to a mac.
I got the software installed when I plugged the USB modem in, but i cannot get it to connect to the internet. When I open the alltel program, I cannot click the connect button and it says "no wireless WWAN device connected" and "no wireless networks defined. To define a network, click on Networks in the Preferences". I've been in the networks tab, but don't really understand how to get it to connect.

When you contacted aaltel what did they have to say?

Sierra Wireless Aircard - not receiving data while connected to the network

Hello,
Can anyone please help me out here please.
I have a wireless internet connection on the Bigpond 3g network in Australia. It uses the Sierra Wireless Aircard 880U and the Bigpond connection manager software (version 2.10.18) to connect to the internet. This has been running pretty fine since I installed it some 4 months ago.
Now in the last 3 weeks I've been having connection problems, or actually I'm still connected, but data just suddenly stops coming in. The connection manager software states that I'm still connected to the 3g network; and I can see that data is still sent from my mac (the software tracks the data sent and data received); however there's no more data coming in (or very little, as in bytes), and Safari (or any other application like Skype, the widgets or mail) eventually fails (just happened again: "Safari could not open the page “http://discussions.apple.com/post!post.jspa?forumID=1222&reply=false” because the server is not responding" - while I was still connected according to the connection manager).
Also I can't ping anymore. Packets are sent out, but nothing comes back.
Now I've spent the last 3 weeks on the phone with Bigpond support but they can't resolve the problem. We have tried all the resources; including reinstalling the software, de- and reactivating my account, rebooting, removing and reconnecting the device, creating a specific location for the wireless card as to reduce any possible interference from airport, etc. But this hasn't resolved the problem.
The support people are now stating that it is not their device or software that is faulty (as the can see that I'm connected to the network just fine on their side), but something specific to my Mac that is causing the data problem and that I need to contact mac support.
The annoying fact is that the problem is erratic. Usually when I start up my mac in the morning; I can connect and surf the web without a problem, but later in the day, the internet connection will fail. I will restart the mac and bigpond connection manager and sometimes I may be able to get back online, but most of the time there is no more data (or very little data) coming in even though the connection manager tells me I am connected to the network and data is going out and very little coming back in (a few kilobytes at the most). Personally I have the impression that the Bigpond connection manager software is not too stable, but I can't put my finger on it.
Also the connection manger software seems to behave erratic. Sometimes it is connected and I can surf fine, while it states that it is (still) determining the IP adress, other times it will show a valid IP adress but I'm not getting data (or vice versa). Also I've been getting other error messages, like: "unable to initialise the device" and a mac popup message: " a modem error ocurred; cannot negotiate a valid set of ppp...."
Hopefully theres someone who can give me a hand here based on what I've written. I'm at wits end. Just let me know if I need to supply need more info;
thanks

I have just discovered another aspect of this issue.
If I have the Macbook connected to my router which is then connected to the Mac Pro but the router is not connected to the internet then PS on the Macbook starts up with no problem.
If the Mac Pro is not connected to the Router then PS will not start up on the Mac Book.
I suspect that this behavour started after I installed 10.5.7 - however as I cannot recollect starting up PS in standalone mode prior to last week before I installed 10.5.7 via the combo package.
So any clues please
Derek
