3G-GSM Module not connecting APN

andrehbosch
Level 1
Level 1

Hi there

I have a Hwic 3G-GSM module in an 1841 router. The sim card in the module is configured on an APN no username and password. I ahve checked all the config from a working router 1841 plus the same module and same vendor som card on the APN and all is working. I have configured the second router but it doesn't want to conenct at all. If i put the sim card in a standard 3G modem life is good, and I can connect to the APN and get teh static IP address. When I'm trying to initiate the connection from the 1841 the sim card wont connect.

please see my config and debug:

I'm not sure if the celluler card is calling the wrong script (d0efault-d0ials0crip) instead of the gsm one configred.

Any suggestions are welcome, thank you.
