Not sure if this is WiMax.
WiMAX has the digital level I saw them laying
the frame formats etc. My thing (verizon usb720)
is like an analog modem. The layer 2 protocol
of the packets is called "SLL" when I look at is
from wireshark. I am guessing this is PPP
encapsulation. I have not seen ppp packets captured
in wireshark before. It is like ppp at clock rate
800kbps. Let me see how fast my synchronous modules
in my 2600XM can run (messed up my lab, will recover).
In verizon's site, they are saying this is a
usb serial modem.
They actually gave me a 10 digit phone number
(including area code). I "think" I made it into
part of the dial string.
Because I use Linux. I made my own dial chat
script.
TIMEOUT 70
'' 'ATZ'
'OK' 'AT&F0'
'OK' 'ATE0v1'
'' 'AT+CSQ'
'OK' 'ATDT#777'
'CONNECT'
And If I telnet to the usb720 modem (using minicom),
and gave it the "AT" command it returns "OK".
This is the first time in my life I telnet to
an analog modem. I have never telneted to a
modem from a Cisco router. When I got out of
school, ISDN is gone from the lab.
Have only 30 days left to my lab. Should stop
doing these.
But I messed up my USB serial lines to my
own lab devices console (9 routers + 4 3550 +
1 3560 + frsw).
My linux runs 20 tty lines now. I ssh to my
home lab almost all day. It is almost like
a 2511 now but it is mobile. I am moving this month
without telling the cable company where I am moving
too. They are losing business without knowing why.
