I have a linux filesystem (Debian based) for an embedded board which
uses a Quectel UC20 3G modem via NetworkManager/ModemManager.<br>
<br>
I want to upgrade to use a Quectel EC21 4G modem and want to know if
I can use the same "system-connections" configuration file for both
modems. e.g. so that same software can run on new and old hardware
- or do I have to have separate config/connection files for each
modem?<br>
<br>
My 3G configuration looks like this:<br>
<br>
<blockquote><tt>id=telstra-mobile-broadband-1</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>uuid=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>type=gsm</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>permissions=user:root:;</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>autoconnect=true</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>[gsm]</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>number=*99#</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>password-flags=1</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>apn-telstra.extranet</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>[ipv4]</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>method=auto</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>[serial]</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>baud=115200</tt><br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Should this same config file work with a 4G modem (EC21) ?<br>
<br>
Can I have the one configuation file that will work on 4G and 3G
(e.g. if only 3G is available). I'm *assuming* yes. If so, how to
configure it.<br>
<br>
And 3G fallback also. Is there anything special I need to do in
configuration, or will ModemManager just wield its magic.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Brendan.<br>
