MC8705, telstra and Mikrotik setup
You want to use the old style ppp connection (not lte card) for this card use this command and do a reboot the router after that:
/port firmware set ignore-directip-modem=yes
Setting up Telstra (copy and apste)
/interface ppp-client
add add-default-route=yes allow=pap,chap,mschap1,mschap2 apn=telstra.internet
data-channel=3 dial-command=ATDT dial-on-demand=no disabled=no
info-channel=4 keepalive-timeout=30 max-mru=1500 max-mtu=1500 modem-init=""
mrru=disabled name=ppp-out1 null-modem=no password="" phone="" pin="" port=
usb2 profile=default use-peer-dns=yes user=""
In Advanced mode you need to setup two channels:
data channel: 3
info channel : 4
Command for checking the status of the PPP (ie signal strength). Might need to reboot the router if it can't acquire serial port after issuing this command
/interface ppp-client info 0
If you don't want to have dial on demand enabled (shouldn't be if you copied and pasted the above command for setting up telstra 3G/4G:
/interface ppp-client> set 0 dial-on-demand=no
