Configuring Tata indicom Plug to Surf on Ubuntu

December 18, 2008 - Posted by admin

Yesterday  I configured Tata indicom Plug to Surf on Ubuntu

1.First just plug your Tata indicom USB to  your Laptop system

2.Then go to Root terminal

You can access it from  Applications->System Tools->Root Terminal

3.In the terminal simply enter wvdial

4.if your modem has been detected you would get a error message like this

Modem intialized

Invalid Phone number

Invalid username

Invaild password

if you get a error message like this then you need to configure wvdial

5.For that go to root terminal and type

sudo gedit   /etc/wvdial.conf

wvdial.conf is generally stored in etc folder

Now the file would be opened in geditor

Just cut and copy the below code

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 460800
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2
+FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = #777
Username = internet
Password = internet
stupid mode = 1

and then save it

After saving it go to root terminal and type wvdial

now the modem would connect itself to internet after a series of  messages on your root terminal

You would generally get these messages Primary DNS  address ,ip,Secondary DNS Address..

Also shutdown your computer when you are switching to windows instead of restarting it from Ubuntu.Because some times you may get

Error 619.
