	~~=Using with pfSense=~~
	~~To use this device with pfSense:~~
	* Login to pfsense web portal and go to Interfaces -> PPPs
	* Click Add and use the following:
	** Link Type: PPP
	** Link Interfaces: /dev/cuaU0.3 (adjust if you have other USB tty devices)
	* The rest will depend on your provider, but for Ting I use:
	** Country: United States
	** Provider: T-Mobile
	** Plan: LTS - fast.t-mobile.com
	** Username/Password: leave empty
	** Phone number: *99#
	** APN: wholesale
	** The rest: defaults
	* Click Save
	* Go to Interfaces -> Assign
	* For Available network ports, choose "PPP0(cuaU0.3)" and click Add
	* It named mine OPT1
	* Click OPT1 to edit it and then use:
	** Enable: [x] (checked)
	** Description: WWAN
	** IPv4 Configuration Type: DHCP
	** IPv6 Configuration Type: DHCP6 (doesn't seem to support IPv6)
	* Click Save
	~~To set up as a failover internet access:~~
	* Go to System -> Routing -> Gateway Groups
	* Click Add and use the following:
	* Group Name: INTERNET
	* Gateway Priority:
	** [WWAN_DHCP] [Tier 2] [Interface Address] [Interface WWAN_DHCP Gateway]
	** [WAN_DHCP] [Tier 1] [Interface Address] [Interface WWAN_DHCP Gateway]
	** Trigger Level: Member down
	** The rest: defaults
	* Click Save
	* Go to System -> Routing -> Gateways and click on WWAN to edit
	* Change the monitor IP to something different since the default won't work (I use 8.8.8.8)
	* Click Save
	~~You can now test the failover functionality by unplugging your WAN connection and see if your internet access works~~

	* First, make sure the SIM card is activated with ting
	* Then, find the USB tty device. its usually the 3rd device created after plugging it in. so if you didn't have any ttyUSB* devices, it would be ttyS3 (starts at 1)
	~~sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB3 115200~~
	* To verify modem is responding type ati5. It shows modem IMEI and Firmware
	~~ati5~~
	* set ting APN:
	~~at+cgdcont=1,"IP","wholesale"~~
	~~That should do it. If you have a network manager running, you should use it to configure the device. Otherwise:~~
	* dhclient <dev>

	~~Other useful commands:~~
	* Turn radio on:
	~~at+cfun=1~~
	* Turn radio off:
	~~at+cfun=0~~
	~~To manual connect: at!scact=1,<profile>. e.g:~~
	~~at!scact=1,1~~
	~~To manual disconnect: at!scact=0,<profile>. e.g.:~~
	~~at!scact=0,1~~
