Citycell ZOOM
ULTRA modem setup in linux ( ubuntu , rhel, centos )
1. Please ensure you have following packages install in your
system
2. Then plug in the Zoom Ultra modem in USB and open a
terminal using root user. Then type
# lsusb
Output will be something like the following .
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1
root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 19d2:fff5 ONDA Communication S.p.A.
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 19d2:fff5 ONDA Communication S.p.A.
Look at the last line. If the modem detected by your
laptop/desktop you can see a line similar to that. Note that 19d2:fff5 is
not the product ID of the modem, rather it is the storage device ID integrated
with the modem (Where program for WINDOWS reside)
3. Now type :
gedit /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf
This will open usb_modeswitch configuration file in
editor.
Delete everything from the page and past the follwinf
lines.

MessageContent=”5553424312345678c00000008000069f030000000000000000000000
4. Now save the page and run the following command:
# usb_modeswitch
5. Now check the device id by typing lsusb command
again.

Now you are connected. You have to keep open the terminal
as long as you want to use the zoom modem. For disconnection simply close the
terminal or Press CTRL+C.
