Once you change these settings, press “Enter”.Ĭhoose “Save setup as dfl” and choose “Exit”. You can also used wvdialconf to identify the baud rate supported by your modem. Press ‘E’ to change the Baud rate at which the modem communicates.
#MINICOM CONFIG SERIAL#
Press ‘A’ to change the serial device from /dev/tty0 to /dev/ttyACM0. It will display a screen similar to the following. To configure minicom to access modem, do the following: # minicom -sĬhoose the “Serial port setup” and press “Enter”.
#MINICOM CONFIG DRIVER#
cdc_acm: USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_acm cdc_acm 1-1.3:1.1: ttyACM0: USB ACM device In my case the modem got detected as /dev/ttyACM0. Once the device is connected, you will see output similar to the following using dmesg. In my case, I’ve connected my “Nokia 2700” via data cable to my linux PC.
#MINICOM CONFIG INSTALL#
# apt-get install minicom Configuring minicom to interface with the modemīefore configuring minicom, we need to connect the modem to the linux system. Using minicom we can send AT commands to the modem to get information about its features. Minicom is a linux equivalent to the HyperTerminal utility in Microsoft Operating Systems. Minicom is a tool which provides an interface for communicating with devices that are connected to serial ports. In-order to send AT commands to modems, we need an interface. In this tutorial, I’m going to show examples using my “Nokia 2700” mobile phone which has a inbuilt GSM/GPRS modem. Note that not all modems will support all the AT commands.

#MINICOM CONFIG HOW TO#
Here I am explaining how to configure minicom in linux for a console connection to Cisco Nexus 5K switch. Usually we use any console connection utilities like putty, minicom, RealTerm or cu. Those who work with infrastructure/server deployment knows how difficult it is to get a console for those devices having no display like switches, routers and a blade chassis/enclosure.
