====== Troubleshooting GSM interface issue ======

This section explains how to have the ppp interface up with kerOS products when it fails.
 
If you see that kind of error in loop in ''/var/log/messages'':
<code>
Oct 19 16:27:16 klk-wifc-01008B daemon.warn ofonod[893]: Modem channel disconnected
Oct 19 16:27:17 klk-wifc-01008B daemon.err connmand[860]: Failed to change property: /huawei_0/context1 org.ofono.ConnectionContext.Active: org.ofono.Error.Failed Operation failed
Oct 19 16:27:17 klk-wifc-01008B daemon.warn connmand[860]: Skipping disconnect of /huawei_0/context1, network is connecting.

</code>

  - Use the gsmdiag.py tool to check first if your SIM card or HUAWEI USB key is correctly inserted into your system
  - Check your provisioning file in /etc/network/ofono: check your APN, pin code, MNC and MCC.
  - Reset the ofono component by typing the following command: ''/etc/init.d/ofono reset'' and watch for errors in /var/log/messages file.
  - If the issue remains, reboot the gateway


**Example of a good insertion of SIM card and HUAWEI key in the system:**
