Device Driver Installation
Installing on Linux
The Linux OS includes a generic USB driver for modems supporting CDC/ACM.
To install the device on Linux Kernel 2.6.x and newer with CDC/ACM support, connect USB cable from the device to
a USB port on your computer. For most recent Linux distributions, there are no drivers to install.
Beginning with Linux Kernel 3.18, an LTE driver named option was included in Linux. If using an older version of
Linux, build an updated option driver.
If the operating system recognizes the modem, seven devices are created (assuming no other ACM values have
been assigned):
/dev/ttyACM0
/dev/ttyACM1
/dev/ttyACM2
/dev/ttyACM3
/dev/ttyACM4
/dev/ttyACM5
/dev/ttyACM6
Only the following devices can be used for AT commands:
/dev/ttyACM0 (data port for PPP connections and AT commands)
/dev/ttyACM3 (generic port for AT commands)
If the operating system recognizes the modem, devices named /dev/ttyUSBx are created, for example:
/dev/ttyUSB0 Diagnostic port
/dev/ttyUSB1 NMEA port
/dev/ttyUSB2 Auxiliary port
/dev/ttyUSB3 Modem port
Note: AT commands are allowed on modem and auxiliary ports.
If the operating system recognizes the modem, devices named /dev/ttyUSBx are created, for example:
/dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/ttyUSB1
/dev/ttyUSB2
/dev/ttyUSB3
/dev/ttyUSB4
Only the following devices can be used for AT commands:
