configure CISCO881GW router to use APN with no user name and password

gddl630.cisco
Level 1
Level 1

Hi there,

I am trying to configure the above router to establish 3G connection, but we are based in UK and our provider three.co.uk has supplied us with ONLY APN: 3internet - we are NOT meant to use user name or password and we have asked them, but they can't provide us with one..., but the router seems to require it?!?

when configuring the router I get these "% Incomplete command" messages

Should I assume that the router can ONLY be used with APNs that have user names and passwords?

CISCO881GW(config)#interface cellular 0
CISCO881GW(config-if)#ppp chap hostname
% Incomplete command.

CISCO881GW(config-if)#ppp chap password 0
% Incomplete command.

CISCO881GW#cellular 0 gsm profile create 1 3internet chap
% Incomplete command.

CISCO881GW(config-line)#login
% Login disabled on line 3, until 'password' is set


Any help appreciated

CISCO881GW#sh cellular 0 profile 1
Profile 1 = INACTIVE*
--------
PDP Type = IPv4
Access Point Name (APN) = 3internet
Authentication = None
Username: , Password:

* - Default profile

chat-script gsm "" "ATDT*98*1#" TIMEOUT 60 "CONNECT"

!

dialer in-band

dialer-group 1

Mat,

 

glad that you got it to work. Did you actually configure the username ? From the previous debug output it looked like that was needed.

Let us know if you need any more help, or clarification...

So


what did the final config look like, 

 

Thinking of going this way myself.

 

Thanks

Steven
