USB Modem P300U not recognized as modem under Debian


Hi;

I have this USB modem P300U(SIM600 chip based) which works fine under wind@ws because it has it's own driver, but the clever seller told me that it worked under Linux as well. It was with Redhat 8 but I couldn't get redhat 8 to download.

And until now absolutely false. I have Debian with Kernel 2.6.32-5-686

I just want to send sms through this modem. It's not recognized as modem I'm frustrated because it's not useful for me if it doesn't work on Linux

I hope you can help me.

I looked for info but I can't make it work. What I get in my debian is:

lsusb:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 10c4:ea60 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc. CP210x Composite Device

You should access this device using /dev/ttuUSB0

Thanks for your reply.

I already tried that solution. I don't receive the "unable to enable" message anymore but I can't connect the modem yet.

In windows it also installs 2 Virtual Serial Ports apart from the physical which is for example COM3 Cygnal ..... Virtual Serial Port COM4 Virtual Serial Port COM6

And I can send AT commands through COM4 and COM6 but not COM3

So I guess it should be similar under Linux, with a Virtual Serial Port, but there is no manage tool for linux grrr and this tool is the one that installs this Virtual Serial Port in windows
