How to Configure TATA Photon Plus
Thanks for this. It does detect my modem as "Found a modem on /dev/ttyUSB0"
This is a bit different from what the guide mentions - "/dev/ttyACM0"
Post this, when I type - "gedit /etc/wvdial.conf", it opens configuration file which only reads:
"[Dialer Defaults]
Phone =
Username =
Password =
New PPPD = yes"
I am a Linux noob but when I compare this to the guide you posted, it appears that the configuration file is missing relevant details.
----------
Edited the wvdialconf to this:
"
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 230400
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2
Init3 = AT+CRM=1
Stupid Mode = 1
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = #777
Username = internet
Password = internet
"
This is identical to how the wvdial conf file is in the
Tata Photon guide except that I have changed the name of the modem to what was being displayed on my screen after typing the command - "wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf"
On executing wvdial, the output I get in the terminal is identical to the one given in the guide till "ATDT#777"
Post this, instead of connecting, I get an error - "Error. Invalid Dial Command".
UPDATE : Installed the latest ubuntu instead and followed the guide from here -

Everything works now! Hurrah!!
