your browser and go to a familiar Web site. If it works, 

Congratulations!

 Your installation is complete. If your modem is NOT

Troubleshooting your Internet Connection 

below. 

 

Using Your Modem for Raspberry Pi or Linux 

Connecting your modem on Raspberry Pi or other Linux distributions, 
including embedded Linux OS’s such as BusyBox, is controlled by the PPP 
dialer command 

pppd

. The steps below were tested for Raspberry Pi, and 

other versions of Linux should work the same.  
 

1

 

Plug your modem into an available USB port.  Raspberry Pi users may 
need to use a USB extender cable to allow access to the other USB 
ports. 

2

 

From a terminal window on your Raspberry Pi or Linux computer enter 

sudo su

 to elevate you to root access. 

3

 

Install the ppp package by entering the following command 

apt-get 

install ppp

 

4

 

Next you will need to create two scripts that pppd will use to create 

the connection. You can either create the scripts using an editor such 
as 

vi 

or download the scripts from 

www.zoomtel.com/4630support

 

5

 

The first script should be named zdial. If you downloaded the script, 

copy it into  /etc/ppp/peers 

6

 

If you are creating the scr. Theipt, put the contents below into the 

/etc/ppp/peers directory.
