Sierra Wireless LTE Modem Guide: Additional References

-
This section of the guide is more of a dumping ground of miscellaneous links and snippets that I am using as part of an ongoing process of documenting the Sierra Wireless series. It is for my reference, as well as useful to see things I am working on and doing your own research.

Note: This post is part of my Sierra Wireless LTE Modem Guide Series. My GitHub repository will serve as the authoritative source for this entire series and any changes or updates will occur there first.

I've written a bash script to automate the entire process of setting up any of the EM/MC74XX series modems (Generic, Dell, Lenovo). This assumes you have the Sierra card inserted into a USB enclosure. This post is part of my Sierra Wireless LTE Modem Guide Series . If you prefer to skip the blog nature of these guides and just grab the bare features and commands, my  GitHub repository  will serve as the authoritative source for this entire series. Any changes or updates will occur there first. From the script description: - Only for use on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS LiveUSB - All Needed Packages will Auto-Install - Sets MBIM Mode with AT Commands Access - Changes all models of EM74XX/MC74XX Modems to the Generic Sierra Wireless VID/PID - Clears Band Restrictions and Places Modem in LTE only mode. - Flashes the Current Generic Firmware as of 2018-07-18 Link to script: https://github.com/danielewood/sierra-wireless-modems/blob/master/autoflash-7455.sh If you are feeling bra

Resetting and Upgrading the APC AP9606 NMC

-
The APC AP9606 is a very old NMC for the Smart-UPS line. They go for under $10 each on ebay and are great for use on an isolated VLAN for SNMP alerts and actions. Their network interface is only 10BaseT, but that is a non-issue for the purpose they serve and they work without issue on most gigabit switches. General Notes The default username/password is apc/apc. The AP9606 does not support DHCP, it supports only Static IP addresses or BOOTP. Setting the time on the AP9606 is broken on both the WebUI and on Telnet. If you discover how to successfully set a date and time, I will accept pull requests to this document. Unauthenticated SMTP Mail alerts work with GSuite SMTP Relay, as long as you have whitelisted your WAN IP. Discover/Reset IP Address Connect to the same layer 2 network as a PC. Use Wireshark and filter for:  eth.src[0:3]==00:c0:b7 Reset the AP9606 (hold reset button for 2-3 seconds) After about 30 seconds, you will see the AP9606 doing ARP lookups.
