UMTS_FILTER Default setting: UMTS_FILTER=’yes’
fli4l automatically hangs up if no traffic is going over the ppp0 interface in the hangup
timeout time. Unfortunately also data transfers from outside count as relevant traffic i.e.
P2P-clients like eDonkey. Since you will be nearly permanently contacted from outside
nowadays it may happen that fli4l never hangs up an UMTS connection.
Option UMTS_FILTER is helping here. If set to ’yes’ only traffic generated by your own
machine is monitored and external traffic will be ignored completely. Since incoming
traffic normally leads to a reaction from the router or the machines behind it (i.e. denying
or dropping the packets) some additional outgoing packets will be ignored too.
UMTS_ADAPTER (optional)
Specify here if the hardware is a PCMCIA card, an USB adapter or a phone connected
via an USB cable.
If omitting this variable only the files necessary for an USB adapter will be copied.
Possible values: (pcmcia,usbstick,usbphone)
All variables that follow are optional and only needed if the automatic detec-
tion fails.
UMTS_IDVENDOR (optional) UMTS_IDVENDOR=’xxxx’
Vendor ID after plugging/starting the adapter
UMTS_IDDEVICE (optional) UMTS_IDDEVICE=’xxxx’
Product ID after plugging/starting the adapter
Specifying the following two parameters is only needed if the ID changes after
initialisation
UMTS_IDVENDOR2 (optional) UMTS_IDVENDOR2=’xxxx’
Vendor ID after initialisation of the adapter
UMTS_IDDEVICE2 (optional) UMTS_IDDEVICE2=’xxxx’
Product ID after initialisation of the adapter
UMTS_DRV (optional) UMTS_DRV=’xxxx’
Driver for the adapter, if omitted ’usbserial’ is used
UMTS_SWITCH (optional) UMTS_SWITCH=’-v 0x0af0 -p 0x6971 -M 555...000 -s 10’
Parameters for usb-modeswitch initialisation of the modem (see Website usb-
