ZTE MF190 Modem: Original Dashboard and drivers of Reliance ZTE MF190 Modem for Download for MAC, Windows and Linux – I keep writing about different types of modem unlocking solutions: Huawei, ZTE, Alcatel, Doro, MTN, GLO, Micromax, Airtel, Aircel, Vodafone, Idea, Reliance, Tata Docomo and various another modem unlock solution can be find out in my blog. Download Smart Bro ZTE MF100 Modem Official Firmware Upgrade, Features, Specs ZTE is well know modem and manufacture, like Novatel. Recently, Smart Bro network has launched its new update for ZTE MF100 modem, which can be downloaded from the download link which is.

A few days ago I took the leap and upgraded my Macbook Air to OS X Lion. After a seamless (and typically Apple) upgrade process, I was enjoying the benefits of an even more refined operating system. However, one of the first things I did was test out my mobile broadband – and there the problem began.

I have an O2 mobile broadband dongle, the ZTE MF100 USB stick. When I originally installed it a small application called O2 Mobile Connect installed and worked a treat for connecting to the O2 service. After upgrading to OS X Lion the application crashed as soon as it opened – I assume because of a change in an API somewhere. After hunting around the O2 site (and Google) I could find no update on getting the Mobile Connect application to work on Lion, or even where to download it. It would appear that O2 have ditched supplying the ZTE dongles in favour of Huwaei branded sticks. Anyway, I was damned if I was going to lose my mobile broadband (and I certainly didn’t want to uninstall Lion), so here’s how I eventually got the stick working: • Open System Preferences • Click on the plus sign to Create a new service • Choose ZTEUSBModem as the interface • Name the service O2 Mobile Broadband (or something recognisable) • Set Telephone Number to *99# • Set Account name to 02web • Set Password to password Note that this is for Pay Monthly Broadband – I think the details are different for Pay & Go customers.

Key step: set DNS server to 193.113.200.201 And hey presto, I now have mobile broadband working again. Hope this helps anyone out there trying to get it working.

I’m new to MAC’s but this worked perfectly for me, just one more question When I put the o2 dongle into the USB port it tries to start the O2 mobile connect software which fails (I can then connect using the network preferences window) however it always opens an error window which states ‘Mobile connect quit unexpectedly’. Is there any way to make this error go away permanently so that I don’t have to dismiss it every time? Equally is there a way I can get the new network service to start automatically when the dongle is plugged in? Thanks to anyone that might be able to help.

After taking a lot of time looking at many disperse threads. I looked at a thread for ZTE MF626 that was essential.(). This was used to connect a ZTE MF100 in Brasil with the VIVO 3G network. Part one (use windows to turn off the usbdrive option). Connect your ZTE MF100 to the USB port of your computer with hyperterminal on it. The modem will automatically install the appropriate drivers and launch the User Interface (UI). Determine the COM port of the modem by inspecting the modem properties under Modems in the Device Manager (do not get confused with ZTE Dianostics Interface or others).

Close the UI and open hyperterminal (or equivalent) and connect to the appropriate COM port using these parameters: Speed: 115200 Data bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow Control: None 4. Input the following command (you may wish to turn on local echo so you can see what you are typing): AT+ZCDRUN=8 You should receive the following back in confirmation: Close autorun state result(0:FAIL 1:SUCCESS):1 5. Close the hyperterminal connection and unplug the modem. Your modem is now reconfigured to be plug and play in Ubuntu. Part 2 (Ubuntu) 6.

Connect you modem to your Ubuntu computer. In the NetworkManager Applet you should find the option to create a new mobile broadband connection. Do so with the location and APN appropriate to you ISP. You should now be able to connect successfully to the internet and your modem should function as a plug and play device in Ubuntu.

This works by disabling the self installation and autorun features which would otherwise cause Ubuntu to detect the modem as a CD-ROM. If you wish to revert the modem to it's orginal settings to allow atomatic UI installation on windows PCs the command to do so is: AT+ZCDRUN=9 (administered by hyperterminal as above) The original thread finishes here. What I add now: A fter finishing all the steps I could ping my servers IP address with Terminal but no WWW surfing (the DNS was not working. SO: Open TERMINAL and type: sudo sh /etc/ppp/ip-up The ip-up script will correct the DNS for you.
