Broad Band Internet NIU Allegro in Ubuntu GNU / Linux
estebandido | 16 May 2008 
I did this tutorial in order to connect with NIU's Broadband USB modem Alegro with Franklin Wireless CDU 550's EVDO via Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy.
For Ubuntu 7.10 you have to first make an extra step that I copy in the end, but it's easy. 
We connect the USB modem's Franklin Wireless CDU 550 EVDO in any port and through a terminal window tipeamos
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
There goes that port scanning is mounted USB modem. In my case I get the following result:
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

ttyACM0 <* 1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0 = 0 & C1 & D2 + FCLASS = 0 - OK
Found an USB modem on / dev/ttyACM0.
Modem configuration written to / etc / wvdial.conf.
<Info> ttyACM0: Speed 460800; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0 = 0 & C1 & D2 + FCLASS = 0"
What interests us is this USB modem Found an on / dev/ttyACM0, I mean if we see that Ubuntu recognizes the device.
After this we go back to terminal and type
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
It opens your text editor with the following information
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
= ATQ0 V1 E1 init2 S0 = 0 & C1 & D2 + FCLASS = 0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Baud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Modem = / dev/ttyACM0 (here you can see that the modem is already recognized)
ISDN = 0
; Phone = <Target Phone Number>
; Password = <Your password>
; Username = <Your Login Name>
We proceed to change where it says target phone number, yourpassword, your login name.
Alegro For the number to dial is # 777. The user is the mobile number you assigned and also the key you get with the installation kit
It should be as follows (note delete the quotation marks)
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
= ATQ0 V1 E1 init2 S0 = 0 & C1 & D2 + FCLASS = 0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Baud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Modem = / dev/ttyACM0
ISDN = 0
Phone = # 777
Username = 09999888 (your number)
5C1D0RBA Password = (your password)
We recorded the file, close and ready to sail. We return to open a terminal window to connect, every time we need to connect must write this in the terminal
$ sudo wvdial
We enter our password and asks the modem starts to dial to connect, and we'll be sailing smoothly.
Now when we want to disconnect the terminal window and give CTRL + C for 2 times and shut down.
Additional step for 7.10
Franklin's CDU 550 Wireless USB EVDO modem is not detected by Ubuntu 7.10 (Fedora 8 if detected). If you use this modem with Ubuntu or another distro that does not recognize this is a solution (I tested it on 7.10 and it works correctly):
You need to create a shell script. Open gedit (or editor you use). Copy and paste the following text in gedit:
#! / Bin / bash
# Usb: acm
echo-e "\ 033 [32mMake Modem Device \ 033 [0m"
for i in `seq 0 2`; do
mknod / dev / ttyACM $ ic $ 166 i
done
echo-e "\ 033 [32mMake Dual Mode Device \ 033 [0m"
for i in `seq 0 2`; do
mknod / dev / ttyUSB $ ic $ 188 i
done
echo-e "\ 033 [32mMake driver rule \ 033 [0m"

/ Sbin / modprobe usbserial vendor = 0 × 16d8 product = 0 × 6563
Then save the file as a shell script - with a name to remember, for example: modem.sh
Make the file executable. From the terminal cd to where you saved the file and writes modem.sh
sudo chmod a+x modem.sh
Then execute the file:
sudo ./modem.sh
Now the modem is configured and you can follow the steps above to configure with wvdial
hello! I
edisson | 20 May 2008hello!
I just installed ubuntu 8.04 and I have this modem installed, after having followed all the steps carefully think I've finally managed to make the connection. however when I try I can not access the internet. please tell me if there is something more to be configured.
Thank you!
@ Edisson: Make sure that in systems / network connections
estebandido | 20 May 2008@ Edisson:
Make sure that in systems / network connections are marked with enable roaming (roaming mode), because if you have a fixed IP on your network card try to connect through this means, if you have eye proxies in your browser also remove them.
Review by the network administrator if you link your IP ppp0 or not, I had a similar problem but it turned out I only had to clear the static IP I had the network card and check roaming mode, and it worked great.
It's a free connection that needs no proxies or anything else, goes live, let me know if you have more problems
