I am trying to install a 3g modem in pfsense, the huawei e173, but seems to be complicated to let it communicate through it.
After the installation of the 3g modem in Interfaces/Interface Assignments/PPPs,
i came back to Interfaces/Interface Assignments and added a new interface,
after that, I went in Status/Interfaces and realised that I was unable to connect it, so i check Status/System Logs/PPP logs and saw that there was this error, but cannot figure out why since this modem is compatible:
Mar 3 15:22:40 ppp [opt5_link0] Link: reconnection attempt 7 in 1 seconds
Mar 3 15:22:41 ppp [opt5_link0] Link: reconnection attempt 7
Mar 3 15:22:56 ppp [opt5_link0] CHAT: The modem is not responding to "AT" at ModemCmd: label.
Mar 3 15:22:56 ppp [opt5_link0] MODEM: chat script failed
Mar 3 15:22:56 ppp [opt5_link0] Link: DOWN event
Mar 3 15:22:56 ppp [opt5_link0] LCP: Down event
From the 3 links of interfaces that shows up when I plugin this modem (cuaU0, cuaU1 and cuaU2), regarding that error from cuaU0, in cuaU0 there was this one:
Mar 3 15:27:40 ppp [opt5_link0] Link: reconnection attempt 1 in 2 seconds
Mar 3 15:27:42 ppp [opt5_link0] Link: reconnection attempt 1

Mar 3 15:27:43 ppp [opt5_link0] CHAT: Detected Hayes compatible modem.
Mar 3 15:27:43 ppp [opt5_link0] CHAT: The modem responded with "ERROR" to the command "AT&F&C1&D2E0S0=0M1" at ModemCmd: label.
Mar 3 15:27:43 ppp [opt5_link0] MODEM: chat script failed
Mar 3 15:27:43 ppp [opt5_link0] Link: DOWN event
Mar 3 15:27:43 ppp [opt5_link0] LCP: Down event
and in cua01:
MODEM: Fail to open serial port /dev/cuaU0 on speed 115200
In console I have the device as:

Anyone?
