How To Connect Huawei E220 Mac

Thursday, March 12th, 2009 • Category

It a bit frustrates me when a few of my peripherals (such as printer, scanner, and 3G modem) can’t connect automatically with my MacBook.

After searching Google thoroughly I found many scatter information to configure and connect my Huawei E220 3G modem on my MacBook.

Here’s what you need to do:

Download the Huawei E220 Mac driver.
It consists of 2 files: Huawei Data Card Application, and the driver itself (the driver is for Leopard).
Install the driver and follow its instruction
Plug your Huawei E220 into your Mac
Run the Huawei Data Card Application and set your APN (Access Point Name). You can ask your ISP for the APN.
Create the connection on your Mac:
1. System Preferences > Network
2. Click + to create new service. It opens a drop down menu then choose Huawei Modem from the Interface.
3. Telephone Number: *99#
4. Account Name: your account name (leave it blank if your ISP doesn’t require it)
5. Password: your account password (leave it blank if your ISP doesn’t require it)
6. Click Advance
7. Vendor: Other
8. Model: Huawei Mobile Connect – 3G Modem
9. Check the Enable error correction and compression in modem
10. Dial mode: Ignore dial tone when dialing
11. Click the PPP tab
12. Settings: Configuration
13. Uncheck the Send PPP echo packets

I was able to connect using these steps on the first try

thanks for this blog.
but i tried the procedure here step-by-step and it didnt work for me.
i had a problem during the authentication stage (service provided) where it should be configured as PAP. i couldnt seem to find it in the Advanced section of the modem configuration.

what i did is download the latest MobileConnect client at the official Huawei site at http://www.huawei.com/mobileweb/en/doc/list.do?type=-1&id=736

i then downloaded the “E220 Client Software MACHOSTB023D01SP00C03 for Mac (1298 KB) 01-Apr-2008″.

installed it and created a new profile using the following configurations (PLDT WeRoam):
- APN: weroam
- Telephone No: *99#
- Username: pldt@weroam
- Password: pldt
- Authentication: PAP

hope this helps other readers as well.

more power!
