ZTE MF637 internal parts " SmartBroPlug-It USB"

I was eager to put an external antenna to my USB modem ZTE MF637, an HSDPA/HSUPA 3.75G from SmartBro Plug-It. I found two internal antenna, one might be the GPRS/EDGE and the other one is for 3G. Though I can't determine well which antenna is 3G and the other. Both has different frequency of operation, whereas 3g UMTS is 2100Mhz and so on.

There is only one internal antenna connector, and which I think is for GPRS/EDGE only.



How to connect to a wireless network from the Ubuntu command line

Why use a friendly GUI when there’s cryptic shell commands out there?

Here’s how I connect:


$ sudo iwlist eth1 scan # eth1 is my wireless card.
eth1 Scan completed :
Cell 01 - Address: 0A:1D:19:15:C2:C1
ESSID:"airborneaccess"
Mode:Master
Channel:5
Frequency:2.432 GHz (Channel 5)
Quality=88/100 Signal level=-44 dBm Noise level=-81 dBm
Encryption key:off
Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s
9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s
48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s
Extra:tsf=0000003befa89182



That scan lists every available access point. The important piece of information to extract here is the ESSID. Now I set my wireless card up to connect to that ESSID:


$ sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "ESSID of your acceesspoint"


And finally, I tell my card to request an IP address from the router:


$ sudo dhclient eth1 # gimme an IP address plz!
There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.pid with pid 6911
killed old client process, removed PID file

bound to 192.168.1.112 -- renewal in 251284 seconds.


I can type these three commands way faster than waiting for the GUI to fire up. Here they are again, without all the output:


$ sudo iwlist eth1 scan
$ sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "ESSID of your acceesspoint"
$ sudo dhclient eth1


Sometimes, I need to connect to a network with a hidden ESSID. That’s just as easy. I just configure the ethernet card to connect to anything:


$ sudo iwconfig eth1 essid any # any is a keyword, not the name of an ESSID.


Finally, some networks require an access key. Sometimes, people can give you the human-friendly version, and you can type that in like this:


$ sudo iwconfig eth1 key s:password # translates to the hex for me.


Note the s: in front. That translates what I type into the hex jibberish.

Other times, people insist on giving you the goofy string of hex digits, so you can set it like this:


$ sudo iwconfig eth1 key ACDB-1234-1234-EFG2

ZTE MF637 HSUPA modem unlocking

Recent STF(search the forum) I found how to unlock my ZTE MF637 HSUPA 3g modem.

My intention is to look for MF627 unlocking technique for my SmartBro Plug It modem, I downloaded some apps and follow some instructions posted in some forums.

I did not succeed on MF627. Quite unhappy... I was thinking to put my next target my other modem which is model MF637 for unlocking. At first I'm afraid that it might brick the firmware, because there are some suggestions that it is only intended for MF627. Huhh... the hell...what I was thinking... and so I made up a choice to take the risk.

Before unlocking;

a. My Smartbro dashboard is installed and modem drivers, typical installation for SmartBro to work/connects.

b. Replace your Smartbro sim card (e.g. Globe or Sun SIM)

From one of the applications given to unlock MF627 is DC-Unlocker 2 Client v1.00.0460




1. Download the file DC-Unlocker 2 Client (dccrap.zip)
2. Unzip/Extract to any folder or to your desktop

Now Plug in your Smartbro modem with Globe or Sun SIM inserted on it.

3. run the dccrap.exe
4. Select Manufacturer = ZTE datacards
5. click "server"
6. Enter Username/Password of your choice then click "Check Login".
For me, I enter smartbro for both userb=name and password
7. Click on the the Magnify Glass icon to search your modem model automatically.
Dont need to Select model manually.

Just wait for the modem to sync, sometimes reading the datacard is slow.

8. Once your modem has been detected, Click "Unlocking" then UNLOCK it.

You will be then prompted unlocking successful!

Now, Open your Smartbro dashboard, it takes a while to sync in the modem.

From my experiment, I use Sun sim card. Once it catches the signal, you can notice it from the dashboard, signal .::| and the network name (SUN)

Then I configured my Network Settings to Sun Internet on my dashboard.
Name: Sun Wireless(any name of your choice)
Dial Number: *99#
APN: minternet

Set it to default.

Load up with i50 (24 hours unlimited) with 5 pesos regular load balance.

Then here it goes....


Now I wont have to use a strainer to catch that signal of Smart, because we are near to Sun cell site here in Laguna.


This is the internal antenna of SmartBro Plug-It USB modem



If you find this topic helpful to you, kindly post comments of appreciation.

Goodluck! and happy homebrewing(hacking)... =)

BTW, this USB modem MF637, I got it from an event for free.

Description
This command is used to report signal strength.. Notice the command is used only in platform
6290 and 6246.
Defined values
3G network(registered to 3G network)
+ZRSSI: rssi,ecio,rscp
The unit of Rscp is 0.5dbm ( in 0.5 dBm step with no sign).
The unit of Ecio is 0.5db ( in 0.5 dB step with no sign).
The relation is: 2*rssi=rscp-ecio
e.g.
+ZRSSI: 49,8,106
Rssidbm = -rssi = -49dbm
Eciodb = -ecio/2= -4db
Rscpdbm = - rscp /2= -53dbm
2G network(there is no ecio and rscp value when registered in 2G network ,so set
value of 1000)
e.g.
+ZRSSI: rssi,1000,1000

Huawei AT-commandsThis is a featured page

note: Some devices like the Huawei K3715 seem to require AT-commands to be typed in capital letters!

There are a couple of options for disabling and re-enabling the following USB-components of Huawei USB-modems:


  • modem (M)
  • NAND-flashmemory drive (CD)
  • microSD-drive (SD)
  • PC UI interface (UI)
  • network adaptor (N)
  • smartcard (SC)
To disable or re-enable those components run the following AT-command, where n is one of the numbers from the table below:

AT^U2DIAG=n

Sometimes AT-commands will result in an "ERROR" - in this case keep reentering the AT-command until "OK" is being returned.

*) note: smartcard (SC) and network adaptor (N) are not present in most Huawei devices. Using an AT-command, that activates SC or N on a device, which hasn't these components will result in errors and so will be noneffective.
**) On modems E1750 and K3565 sending AT^U2DIAG=268 command makes active: M, CD, SD, UI and deactivates N (error in the table above?)
