Cellular 0 in router 881G isn't up

Hi all:

I'm trying to have internet access in a 881G router through sim I introduced. The operator is Vodafone and I know 3G is working fine cause HSPA works out well if you introduce sim in a mobile, activate 3G and try surf.

I just called Vodafone and they confirmed the APN, user, pass and authentication are correct so I understand there is a configuration issue in the router. The config I've got nowadays is very simple:

 

Router#sh run
[output supressed]
multilink bundle-name authenticated
chat-script gsm "" "AT!CALL1" TIMEOUT 20 "OK"
license udi pid C881G+7-K9 sn FCZ184190MC
!
controller Cellular 0
!
interface FastEthernet0
 no ip address
!

!
end

Router#

 

I realized if I launch show interface cellular 0 commando I can see the next:

 

Router#sh int cell 0
Cellular0 is up (spoofing), line protocol is up (spoofing)
  Hardware is 3G Modem-QuadBand HSPA+R7/HSPA/UMTS QuadBand EDGE/GPRS Global and GPS
  Internet address will be assigned dynamically by the network
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 9 Kbit/sec, DLY 100000 usec,
     reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
  Encapsulation SLIP, loopback not set

 

Thanks and regards

Francisco

Hi,

Were you able to resolve this? I've having the same issue

Hi martino

Yes, I managed to fix it. The problem is I no longer work in the company where I configured the routers so I couldn't see the configuration.

As far as I remember, the problem was in the chat-script used. Sorry for not being more helpful.

Regards
