  1. Hi,

    We are running the Telit Module
    UC864-G under linux 2.6.34. We discover an usb disconnect and connect
    again after 6 seconds during a ppp connection.

     Do you have a solution to fix this issue?

    We are currently testing with a newer kernel 3.1.0. We haven’t any results yet.

    Or is there a patch to solve this issue?

    1. Have you also
      encountered this problem in other normal
      conditions except making the call(i.e. issuing other AT commands)?

       

      We
      additionally need the log data from the Linux kernel

       

      Can you try
      to do some tests on the other OS platform(i.e. on our EVK2) as the
      reference, if possible?


       

          1. No, it doesn’t help.

            do you have the Telit Diagnostic port available?

             

            have you installed correctly the USB drivers for Linux ?

          2. do you have the Telit Diagnostic port available?

            If the /dev/ttyUSB1 is the diagnostic port,Yes.

             

             have you installed correctly the USB drivers for Linux ?

             The USB driver is provided by the linux kernel correctly.

             

            The command AT#REBOOT does exactly the same like we found in the syslog. An USB disconnect and connect.

             Is there a situation you call internally AT#REBOOT, maybe because of an overheating or something else?

             

            Thank you for your support

             

            Sincerely

          3. If some of you have the same issue. It is because of the PCI interface. Sometimes it breaks. So that is the reason why it disconnects and connects again.

          5. Hello All.

            I am having a similar issue with a UL865 module, but when I went to the link you (Cosmin) mentioned:- http://www.telit.com/en/services/technical-forum/technical-forum.php?p_id=331&f_ac=thread&f_thread=745   I got a 404 Not found.

          7. Thank you Cosmin. I think my issue is different so I will be posting a new thread with more details

          8. Thank you Cosmin. I think my issue is different. First of all I am using a UL865-EUD module which is set in an embedded debian linux environment. The system has two USBs connecting 1) the UMTS module and 2) a battery voltage controller which periodically sends some data to the host cpu. If the battery voltage controller is disconnected, the Telit UL865 connects via GPRS for as long as necessary without the least problem. When I connect the battery voltage controller via USB, the Telit UL865 unregisters (/dev/ttyACM0-6 disappear) for a few seconds and then goes back on. Logging the situation doesn’t seem to help.

            This is the log of modem.

            Now the modem is up and connecting. Then, asynchronously (sometimes delay is as long as 43 minutes later), when I execute a “cat” command to read the battery voltage controller,  the modem goes down:-

            It looks like there is some kind of confict between the ttyACM0 and the ttyUSB0. Do you think that this is a possibility? Do you have any suggestions? Thank you 

          9. HI,

            could you please try to issue dmesg –clear, connect first your battery voltage controller, then connect Telit module and issue dmesg.

            What ports are enumerated? 

            Please launch PPPD on /dev/ttyACM0 instead of Connect: ppp0 <–> /dev/modem
