From Winbox System -> Ports -> Firmware tick Ignore DirectIP modem, ok and reboot the miktorik. You will now have a ppp-out1 interface. Open it and click on Advanced Mode. General Tab, data channel = 3, info channel = 2 (some of the older blue dongles used data 2 and info 1) and put in your APN. In PPP I normally un-tick Dial on Demand so it's always up, I normally don't use peer dns or default route - I normally set this up statically for a failover situation.
If that doesn't work - some of the newer 320U's have airplane mode on out of the box, I haven't played with the AT commands in the ppp interface however; Open up a terminal on the Mikrotik System serial-terminal port=usb1 channel=2 hit enter, type in at+cfun=1 hit enter, CTRL-A, Q to close the channel, close the Terminal. And you should be good to go. James Symon | IT Support Officer - Systems Engineer HI Tim, I got one of these Air320U modems today and am testing it, can you share the settings you used to get it working ? It appears as an LTE interface on this routerboard not PPP, any suggestions on the right settings ? I have only configured as PPP previously on other devices.

It came up as a PPP device, does 4G and I get the Public IP on the MikroTik. No amount of screwing around would get the public IP on the MT (NAT or otherwise) on the ZF823 I was using. -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of Paul Julian Sent: Monday, 2 November 2015 10:08 AM To: 'MikroTik Australia Public List' <public@talk.mikrotik.com.au> Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] 4G Modems....again Actually one other question on this one....I will be using the Telstra extranet APN which gives me a public IP, will the DHCP client get that through to the Mikrotik or will I have to do something fancy with the modem ?

Hi Paul,
Sure have and it works a treat. :-)
The below information is courtesy of Jason;
The Telstra prepaid ZTE MF823 (~$50) does indeed work on my 751G and 2011 box using firmware 6.27.
Some things to note to have it work in a straightforward mode:
* The Mikrotik knows how to set up the right USB IDS's to get the ethernet USB interface going. * It also knows to tell the modem to connect to the network. * Use a DHCP client on the LTE1 interface with default route and Peer DNS set. * The DHCP client gives you an address of 192.168.0.182/24 and the modem is 192.168.0.1. * I used used SRC NAT to the 192.168.0/24 subnet. The modem runs Linux on ARM internally so you can log into it with telnet and change the default subnet on the modem apparently. Telstra have disabled or hidden these settings in the web menu on 192.168.0.1. * Be wary of the triple NAT in effect and any consequences: Internet <| 10/8 Telstra <| Modem 192.168.0/24 <| Your network * As per the Mikrotik Wiki cold power the 2011 when plugging in the modem otherwise LTE1 doesn't come up properly. This wasn't an issue on the 751G. * Disabling then reenabling the LTE1 interface brings it up briefly then it disables itself again. Only a plugging cycle fixes this. * Make sure the main router power supply can drive your router and the full 2.5W to the USB port.
Hope it helps...
Regards,
Alen
