Aircard 313U showing up as a "USB Mass Storage Device"

Rudolf Spoerer

I know this may not go anywhere, but I just finished transitioning to XG from UTM 9 and tried once more to get a Sierra Wireless 313U Aircard working. Now, with UTM 9 it did recognize it but I could not get it to work and eventually put it aside.

So, after seeing this entry in the USB compatibility list, I thought I would give it another try:

 

Sierra Wireless AC313U AT&T US LTE CAT3 1199:0fff 0f3d:68aa Possible

 

So after plugging it into the system, I then see the following in the admin screen:

 

Ok, not sure why that happened, but I do know there is a small amount of space on the Aircard that holds clients for people to install in order to use it, so I think XG is only seeing that mass storage device and not the modem itself which appears as a separate USB device

Now the odd thing, I have seen a community post of someone getting the Aircard 340U working but then the compatibility list shows it as follows:

Sierra Wireless AC340U AT&T US LTE CAT3 1199:0fff 1199:9051 Not compatible

So, I'm at a loss of what to do. At the moment, I can get a 340U for pretty cheap so I am inclined to go that direction and chuck the 313U out the window. If anyone has any steps that can get this to work, I would love to try them out.

 

Thank you in advance!

    An update to this issue.

     

    I have access to a Sophos XG125 and I figured I would see if it could see either of the modems on a piece of actual Sophos hardware vs the Dell R210 I am running XG on at the moment.

     

    When I plugged in the 313U AirCard, it immediately recognized it and I was able to connect to T-Mobile's network without issue and even pinged a remote host (in this case Google) working without a hitch. I also tried the 340U AirCard and following some of the directions in the post I found got the same result as the 313U.

     

    So the question I have (and I would sure love to hear from the Sophos engineers) is why their hardware can detect both the 313U & 340U AirCards and why on non-Sophos hardware (in this case a Dell R210 server) do we get the above-mentioned problem of it only seeing the small USB drive on it with clients?

    Is there a way to have it point to the right place or am I pretty much SOL as far as using XG on the server I have and would need to go to Sophos hardware to get it to work?

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
