Commandline administration ‐ Cellular

HowTo configure cellular via uci:

For Cellular to work it's necessary to at least add the gluon cellular section, set the APN and to enable cellular usage.

Other settings can be ommited if they aren't neccesary for the choosen SIM and network.

You need to run gluon-reconfigure and reboot (service network restart might suffice but rebooting is probably safer) to apply any changes you made.

add uci section:

You need to do this if the uci section isn't present. It's save to do so anyway:

uci set gluon.cellular=cellular
uci commit gluon.cellular

enable/disable cellular usage

enable

uci set gluon.cellular.enabled=1
uci commit gluon.cellular.enabled

disable

uci set gluon.cellular.enabled=0
uci commit gluon.cellular.enabled

set APN

uci set gluon.cellular.apn='internet'
uci commit gluon.cellular.apn

set APN username and password

uci set gluon.cellular.username='user'
uci commit gluon.cellular.username
uci set gluon.cellular.password='pass'
uci commit gluon.cellular.password

set pdptype

available options are:

• IP (IPv4 only)
• IPV6 (IPv6 only)
• IPV4V6 (Dual Stack, will be used if nothing is set)

uci set gluon.cellular.pdptype='IPV4V6'
uci commit gluon.cellular.pdptype

set SIM pin

uci set gluon.cellular.pin='0000'
uci commit gluon.cellular.pin

apply changes

gluon-reconfigure
reboot
