MC8704 on mod-gsmopen
Hi all, I've been looking into this card as a replacement for my current usb dongle setup, since 2g services are soon to shut down in rural areas here. The MC8704 is quad band WCDMA, so it would give access across all networks: http://www.m2mconnectivity.com.au/brands/sierra-wireless/sierra-wireless-air... .. and possibly running it through a USB adapter like this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271455696096?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=... ... though I'm not sure if this would work, with the card using the I2S interface. Is there any possibility this might work? I don't mind doing some testing, as long as it's feasible. Cheers, Francis
no idea at all. If it comes out as being compatible with USB dongles supported, yes. It does not seems probable to me. I would look into other USB dongles, almost for sure there are some that are compatible with your network and mod_gsmopen. -giovanni On Mon, Oct 5, 2015 at 8:25 AM, Francis <sms@icefire.qza.net.au> wrote:

I see... the datasheet says it's USB2 but whether the I2S interface is routed that way or direct to PCIE is another story. That said, the USB adapter is only for convenience, I could plug it directly into the motherboard. I had some difficulty finding the 'ideal' dongle - quad band 3g with voice, this was the next option. Francis On 05/10/15 16:35, Giovanni Maruzzelli wrote:

USB dongles that are compatible with Huawei 1550 and voice traffic are kind of complex, they export a lot of USB interfaces/tty, and behaves in a pretty specific way. If you're not specifically bound to experimentation for the sake of knowledge, I repeat my counseil: go find an USB dongle model that fit your bill, and spare on money and frustrations with cards and adapters ;).

I know, common sense says to look for a dongle, but I may just experiment with a couple of cards. It can all find a new home on ebay if it doesn't work :) On 05/10/15 17:22, Giovanni Maruzzelli wrote:

I2S is a physical bus with specific electrical parameters. So, you need to find the pinout for this card, and see if your host actually has those pins to receive data. Then, you need to do some GPIO programming to pull the audio data from it, and somehow present it to FreeSWITCH. I'm pretty sure a standalone GSM gateway will be much cheaper. Those from Yeastar, for example, are quite decent (they run some old Asterisk inside, but who cares). On Mon, Oct 5, 2015 at 9:09 AM, Francis <sms@icefire.qza.net.au> wrote:

I was afraid of that. I looked at the Yeastar, but it doesn't seem to have SMS forwarding available. The Goip-1 I have can do it, but will soon be obsolete when 2G is turned off. Looking at the supported dongles list, I might be better off to get two that cover at least half the bands here, then I can swap if I change carriers. On 05/10/15 17:41, Stanislav Sinyagin wrote:

Yeastar is using the standard Asterisk management interface for SMS. I wrote a simple Perl script to receive the SMS, and it works completely fine. I didn't need them in FreeSWITCH, but it's also not a rocket science to bring them there. One odd thing is that sometimes the modems go offline, and it happens for several SIM cards for the same provider, so I think it's something to do with the GSM provider. Once in every few months, I have to restart those modems. On Mon, Oct 5, 2015 at 11:43 AM, Francis <sms@icefire.qza.net.au> wrote:

IFAIK Dinstar Gateways support 3g mode. So you may try them. Also modems often hangs (active usb hubs, UPS) and they again hangs. On Mon, Oct 5, 2015 at 12:43 PM, Francis <sms@icefire.qza.net.au> wrote:
I was afraid of that. I looked at the Yeastar, but it doesn't seem to have SMS forwarding available. The Goip-1 I have can do it, but will soon be obsolete when 2G is turned off. Looking at the supported dongles list, I might be better off to get two that cover at least half the bands here, then I can swap if I change carriers.

I2S is a physical bus with specific electrical parameters. So, you need to find the pinout for this card, and see if your host actually has those pins to receive data. Then, you need to do some GPIO programming to pull the audio data from it, and somehow present it to FreeSWITCH.
I'm pretty sure a standalone GSM gateway will be much cheaper. Those from Yeastar, for example, are quite decent (they run some old Asterisk inside, but who cares).

I see... the datasheet says it's USB2 but whether the I2S interface is routed that way or direct to PCIE is another story. That said, the USB adapter is only for convenience, I could plug it directly into the motherboard. I had some difficulty finding the 'ideal' dongle - quad band 3g with voice, this was the next option.

I would look into other USB dongles, almost for sure there are some that are compatible with your network and mod_gsmopen.

Hi all,
I've been looking into this card as a replacement for my current usb dongle setup, since 2g services are soon to shut down in rural areas here. The MC8704 is quad band WCDMA, so it would give access across all networks:

That might be an option. I sent them a message asking for clarification on which bands, I need 850 and 900 specifically. I've found out the hard way that some gateways only support these on 2G. On 05/10/15 19:49, Volodymyr Fedorov wrote:

It will work as a 3G data modem for sure. But you need to see in the specs how it's going to deliver you the voice. I looked at the Huawei cards, and they send PCM voice via some nonstandard pins which are not even wired on my host: https://txlab.wordpress.com/2015/02/22/3g-connectivity-for-pc-engines-apu-mu...

That's the tricky bit. The data sheet does say USB: http://www.wivia.com/p/datasheet/productid-229/sierra-wireless-mc8704.pdf .. but voice is over I2S and I don't know if that will work with the USB adaptor, or if I'll have to plug it directly to the motherboard to gain access. Can mod-gsmopen use the I2S interface, or is it strictly USB only? On 05/10/15 16:41, Stanislav Sinyagin wrote:
