Question
How-to change the cellular modulesUSB composition mode to Mobile Broadband Interface Model (MBIM) used by Windows 8 and 10 systems for controlling and establishing data connectivity through the built-in connection manager in Windows?
Solution
This is done by sending a set of AT commands to the cellular modules Modem or AT serial interface found in Windows Device Manager. Please see list below for associated AT commands.
(For additional details, refer to the product specific software, ports, and AT commands guides found on the Techship product web pages under technical documentation tab).
After the AT commands have been received by the module and has restarted, the USB interface endpoint composition should have changed to include MBIM interface as well.
You can find the correct Serial COM port number by checking Windows Device Manager, under the Modems drop down -> (right click and see properties for selected COM port info) or under the Ports (COM & LPT) drop down.
Vendor specific commands to use:
Sierra Wireless EM75xx series module:
AT!ENTERCND="A710"
AT#USBCOMP=1,3,100D
AT!RESET
Sierra Wireless EM74xx, MC74xx series module:
AT!ENTERCND=”A710”
AT!USBCOMP=1,1,100D
AT!RESET
Sierra Wireless EM73xx, MC73xx series module:
AT!ENTERCND=”A710”
AT!UDUSBCOMP=8
AT!RESET
Simcom SIM7100, SIM7500 and SIM7600 series modules:
AT+CUSBPIDSWITCH=9003,1,1
AT+CRESET
ZTE Welink ME3630 series:
AT+ZSWITCH=8
AT+ZRST
Telit LE910C1 and LE910C4 series:
AT#USBCFG=2
AT#REBOOT
Telit LM940 and LM940A11:
AT#USBCFG=2
AT#REBOOT
Telit LM960 and LM960A18:
AT#USBCFG=2
AT#REBOOT
Telit LE910 V2 series:
AT#USBCFG=3
AT#REBOOT
On Huawei and Telit LN94x series modules the USB mode changing is done automatically by the modules Windows drivers based on current Windows version.
Please be aware that some USB mode configurations do not include any serial interfaces, making it impossible to revert the changes using AT commands.

Question
What Linux kernel modules and configs are commonly used for communicating with cellular modules over their USB interface?
Solution
Most cellular modules can be supported in Linux by using som of the in-kernel drivers. The physical data interface to the host Linux system is usually done over USB which enumerates a set of different endpoints/interfaces. A set of serial interfaces for Modem/PPP, AT commands, NMEA location data and chipset debug information are almost always available in all configurations.
In addition some type of network endpoint/interface are also available and exposed. This can vary between manufacturers and chipset vendors and can also commonly be configurable by using USB configuration mode switching or through vendor specific AT commands.
Recommended kernel configurations to enable are listed bellow. Many cellular modules base their Linux support on these modules and drivers. Once included in the kernel build, the USB interfaces will be detected and bound correctly out-of-the-box or after applying source code patches to the driver modules.
Configs for USB serial drivers:
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_WWAN
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_OPTION
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_QUALCOMM
CONFIG_USB_ACM
Configs for Modem/PPP support:
CONFIG_PPP
CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP
CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE
CONFIG_PPP_FILTER
CONFIG_PPP_MPPE
CONFIG_PPP_MULTILINK
CONFIG_PPPOE
CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC
CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY
Configs for USB network drivers:
CONFIG_USB_USBNET
CONFIG_USB_NET_QMI_WWAN
CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER
CONFIG_USB_NET_RNDIS_HOST
CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_NCM
CONFIG_USB_NET_HUAWEI_CDC_NCM
CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_MBIM
Please relate to the Techship product specific web pages for vendor specific Linux integration guides.
Below is a selection of kernel commits relating to cellular module support in Linux kernels:

Question
We cannot acquire an DHCP address over qmi_wwan driver when using Raspbian Linux OS?
Solution
Raspbian uses dhcpd to probe all available network interfaces found in the system, which is problematic for the qmi_wwan driver interface, if it is done before being configured properly when using cellular modules supporting only Raw-IP.
This can be avoided by setting dhcpd to deny the related cellular module network interface (most often named wwan0 by the system).
Add to the /etc/dhcpcd.conf file in Raspbian the following line (in the end):
denyinterfaces wwan0
Now, restart the system (preferably re-power it) so cellular module fully restarts also.
At next startup, the settings should be applied and you can now configure and use the qmi interface as described in some of the others faq's, found on the Techship webpage.

Question
How can we use Sierra Wireless MC/EM74 and EM75 series cellular modules in Linux with the MBIM control and data interface?
Solution
The Sierra Wireless MC/EM74 and EM75 series cellular modules can expose the Mobile Broadband Interface Model (MBIM) Interface.
There is a open source Linux in-kernel driver supporting MBIM interface and it is called cdc_mbim. The library libmbim can be used to communicate with the cellular devices over the interface and do necessary configurations to trigger the data connection over the cellular network.
First install the libmbim and libmbim-utils Linux library using your system package manager like apt etc. (more details about libmbim here: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libmbim/)
Check with lsusb that you have the Sierra wireless module loaded, vid:pid value 1199:9091 or 1199:9071 should be present.
lsusb
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1199:9091 Sierra Wireless, Inc.
or:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1199:9071 Sierra Wireless, Inc.
Verify with lsusb -t that the Linux in-kernel cdc_mbim driver is correctly loaded for the cellular module. It can look e.g. like this:
lsusb -t
...
|__ Port 3: Dev 3, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=qcserial, 5000M
|__ Port 3: Dev 3, If 2, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=qcserial, 5000M
|__ Port 3: Dev 3, If 3, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=qcserial, 5000M
|__ Port 3: Dev 3, If 12, Class=Communications, Driver=cdc_mbim, 5000M
|__ Port 3: Dev 3, If 13, Class=CDC Data, Driver=cdc_mbim, 5000M
...
If this is not the case, you will have to change USB end points the cellular module exposes. This can be done through AT commands sent to the modules serial interfaces accepting AT commands. Usually located at dev/ttyUSB2 if the qcserial drivers are correctly loaded.
MC74xx/EM74xx series:
AT!ENTERCND="A710"
AT#USBCOMP=1,1,100D
AT!RESET
EM75xx series:
AT!ENTERCND="A710"
AT#USBCOMP=1,3,100D
AT!RESET
(Applications like Minicom or Picocom can be used to send AT commands over the serial interfaces)
Should you have no serial interface loaded, it is because the driver has not been loaded for the USB serial endpoints due to missing vid:pid values in the qcserial driver. You can then use the commands bellow to temporarily load the driver for new vid:pid combinations.
modprobe qcserial
EM75 series:
echo 1199 9091 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/qcserial/new_id
MC74xx/EM74xx series:
echo 1199 9071 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/qcserial/new_id
When you have changed the cellular modules USB endpoint configuration to expose MBIM interface and module have restarted, then you can use libmbim's command line interface to control the cellular module.
Using libmbim with the command line interface mbimcli:
List all available options for mbimcli:
mbimcli --help-all
Check version
mbimcli --version
The cellular modules mbim interface is usually named cdc-wdm* among the devices. For mbimcli this is defined by --device=/dev/cdc-wdm0 parameter. You should also use the proxy function to enable parallel commands to be sent to module even if the interface already is in use by a data connection. This is done by including --device-open-proxy or -p in every mbimcli requst to module.
Command example to query device capabilities and information (firmware & IMEI code etc.):
mbimcli --device=/dev/cdc-wdm0 --device-open-proxy --query-device-caps
The libmbim tool: mbim-network can be used to establish a simple data connection.
First create a config file containing your network operators APN details. Save it in the default location where mbim-network searches for the file: /etc/mbim-network.conf .
The parameter --profile=[PATH] can be used to alter this path when executing mbim-network.
Save the APN details, (and username, password and authentication type if necessary) into the configuration file:
APN=
APN_USER=
APN_PASS=
APN_AUTH=
PROXY=yes
How to start a data connection after configuration file is in place:
Enter SIM PIN (if necessary for SIM card):
mbimcli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 -p --enter-pin=1234
Start the mbim data connection with command bellow, if successful it will print "Network started successfully"
mbim-network /dev/cdc-wdm0 start
You can now execute the mbim-set-ip script (download found bellow related to this FAQ) with sufficient system privileges:
./mbim-set-ip /dev/cdc-wdm0 wwan0
This script will collect the network interface IP configurations from the cellular module over MBIM interface using mbimcli, parse them and apply them to the network interface in Linux, this because DHCP requests are generally not supported over MBIM interfaces.
Once you have started the data connection and set the details with the mbim-set-ip script you should be able to ping the data connection:
IPv4 ping: (only supported if IPv4 address was acquired from cellular module)
ping -4 -I wwan0 8.8.8.8
ping -4 -I wwan0 google.com
IP v6 ping: (only supported if IPv6 address was acquired from cellular module)

Question
How can we use the Linux NetworkManager and ModemManager applications that are built into many recent Linux desktop distributions (such as Ubuntu) with Sierra Wireless MC/EM74 and EM75 series cellular module to establish and set up a data connection?
Solution
When using NetworkManager and ModemManager that are pre-installed in many common Linux distributions, best compatibility can be reached when the cellular module is set to expose the MBIM interface endpoints to the host system over the USB interface. The MBIM interface driver is often automatically detected and loaded without the need to configure and add additional drivers to the kernel via rebuild.
In factory default configuration the Sierra Wireless modules do expose the QMI interfaces as well as a set of serial interfaces, this is the correct USB endpoints if the modules are used with the Sierra Wireless recommended GobiNet and GobiSerial drivers.
However if you want to use the module with MBIM interface instead, you can change the exposed USB endpoint configuration by sending the module the following AT command on the Modem serial interface (usually dev/ttyUSB2 in Linux systems):
MC74xx/EM74xx series:
AT!ENTERCND="A710"
AT#USBCOMP=1,1,100D
AT!RESET
EM75xx series:
AT!ENTERCND="A710"
AT#USBCOMP=1,3,100D
AT!RESET
(please note ModemManager can occupy and interfere on the Modem/AT serial interface so it is recommended to stop its process first)
This will configure and reset the module and when module is re-detected in the host system again, the endpoints exposed have changed and the cdc_mbim driver should have been automatically loaded for the cellular module, this can be verified with the command:
lsusb -t
By restarting ModemManager and NetworkManager or the complete host system, the Sierra Wireless cellular module should be automatically detected by both ModemManager as well as NetworkManager.
The graphical user interface in the Linux operating system can now be used to configure the PIN code and your network operators APN connection details and establish the data connection.
If you want to control NetworkManager by Linux command line, a guide and example is well documented in the following guides:
ModemManager:
https://docs.ubuntu.com/core/en/stacks/network/modem-manager/docs/configuring-cellular-connections
NetworkManager:
https://docs.ubuntu.com/core/en/stacks/network/network-manager/docs/configure-cellular-connections
Please note that DHCP clients are most often not supported for the cellular modules when MBIM interface is used, therefore this IP connection information should be collected via the ModemManager from the modules data bearer details. NetworkManager will do this automatically for you, so it is recommended to use NetworkManager together with ModemManager also when possible.
Question
Why should we use USB3 instead of USB2 as host system data interface if the cellular module can support both?
Solution
Cellular modules supporting higher data throughput rates like LTE Advanced, category 6 and above (300Mbps downlink and 50Mbps uplink) often support both USB3 interface as well as USB2 interface towards the host system.
It is recommended to implement and use the USB3 data interface rather than the older USB2 interface on these modules between host system and the cellular module. This because USB3 can support around 10 times higher data throughput rate compared to USB2 and avoid a possible bottleneck / limitation in the data interface between host and cellular module.
If a miniPCIe based cellular module implementing USB3 are used, please verify that conflicts don't occur towards your hosts miniPCIe socket, as the USB3 interface is not implemented by default in the miniPCIe standard and therefore signal collisions can happen between USB3 pins and PCIe data interface pins situated on same locations. Refer to the cellular module hardware guides and host system hardware guides to verify this.
