Repository of Sixfab PPP Installer Tool

Sixfab offers Shields/HATs for Raspberry Pi which provides cellular Internet connection anywhere with the availability of mobile network coverage. These shields are:

Each of these shield can be connected to Internet via PPP(Point to Point Protocol). For this tutorial we have written an script to install and perform required steps.

Without further ado let us jump into the installation process:

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/sixfab/Sixfab_PPP_Installer.git

Now change the permission of the downloaded script.

cd Sixfab_PPP_Installer/ppp_installer
chmod +x install.sh

Now install the script

sudo ./install.sh

It will ask several questions, just answer them accordingly to complete the installation process. The questions are: Please choose your Sixfab Shield/HAT

You will be offered to choose among the mentioned four shields/HAT. Then it will fetch required scripts for you.

Then it installs ppp. 

What is your carrier APN?

Here, it asks for your carrier's APN. For me it is hologram.

Does your carrier need username and password? [Y/n]

Then it asks if your carrier needs username and password.

Enter username If yes then it will ask for user name.

Enter password Then it will ask for password.

Once you type the username asks for password.

What is your device communication PORT? (ttyS0/ttyUSB3/etc.

In this step you will enter your PORT. e.g For 3G, 4G/LTE Base Shield it will be ttyUSB3.

Do you want to activate auto connect/reconnect service at R.Pi boot up?

This option allows you to connect to Internet via your shield automatically when your Raspberry Pi Starts. If you want to connect to Internet automatically type Y else n. If you have selected n then you will need to run sudo pon to connect to internet and sudo poff to stop it. 

Enjoy your Internet connection.
