UPDATE Few users complained of slow speeds with pl2303 driver. An alternate way of using this modem is given in Guests cannot see links in the messages. Please register in our forum for free by clicking here to see links..

1. Get the Prolific PL2303 driver from Guests cannot see links in the messages. Please register in our forum for free by clicking here to see links.. This chip is used in various devices like usb serial dongles and as cheap embedded USB bridge in cellphones, GPS receivers and other applications with low data traffic.
Install the Driver and Reboot

2. The next step involves Kernel Extension Patching. Start Terminal. You can start it in spotlight or Open it from utilities folder.

3. Get Root Access.

Code:

~<Username>$ sudo -s

You should enter your password, that you used when you created your account.

4. Find Info.plist.

Code:

bash-3.2# cd /System/Library/Extensions/osx-pl2303.kext/Contents/

Check if Info.plist is present in this directory using ls command. You should add the device and vendor id of the modem to this file.

5. Change permission of Info.plist to get write access.

Code:

bash-3.2# chmod 644 Info.plist

6. Add the hardware id's to Info.plist
You can use any text editor. I am using vi here.

Code:

bash-3.2# vi Info.plist

Press I to enter insert mode. Copy and paste this text into your file. This text contains the id's of ZTE AC 8700.

Quote:<key>05c6_6000</key>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>nl.bjaelectronics.driver.PL2303</string>
<key>IOClass</key>
<string>nl_bjaelectronics_driver_PL2303</string>
<key>IOKitDebug</key>
<integer>0</integer>
<key>IOMatchCategory</key>
<string>ProfilicSerialUSB</string>
<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>IOUSBDevice</string>
<key>IOResourceMatch</key>
<string>IOKit</string>
<key>bConfigurationValue</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>bInterfaceNumber</key>
<integer>0</integer>
<key>idProduct</key>
<integer>24576</integer>
<key>idVendor</key>
<integer>1478</integer>
</dict>

Now where you copy this text is very important.
Copy the text here after this,

<key>CFBundleSignature</key>
<string>????</string>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>1.0.0d1</string>
<key>IOKitPersonalities</key>
<dict>

and before this

Quote:<key>19d2_fffd</key>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>nl.bjaelectronics.driver.PL2303</string>
.......
.......
.......

Save the file. In vi, press Escape followed by :wq.

7. Repair Permissions.

Code:

bash-3.2# chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions

You can repair permissions from the disk utility too.

8. Load your modified kext

Code:

bash-3.2# sudo kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/osx-pl2303.kext

9. Now unplug your device and plug it back.

10. Open System Preferences -> Network Click on the + sign on the bottom of the list of devices, to add a new device. ZTE CDMA TECH will be available in the list, select it.

11. Go to advanced and select Generic Dial Up device. Make sure the option "Enable error correction and compression in modem" is selected.
Close the widow.

12. Enter #777 in telephone number field. Enter your bnsl number into the account name and password fields.

13. Save and Connect.

14. Open Safari and Surf..

15. Clear the Kext Cache, for the new kext to load at boot.

Code:

~<Username>$ sudo -s
bash-3.2# touch /System/Library/Extension

I have tried to be as clear as possible. If you have any doubts, you can ask me in this thread.

Please dont email me or pm me. Ask your problems here. I have given a modified Info.plist in post #3. Use it if you dont want to modify it yourself.

This method is dead easy compared to the previous one. All you need to do is run a shell script. If you have installed the pl2303 drivers, then remove them before you proceed.

Code:

~<Username>$ sudo -s
bash-3.2# kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/osx-pl2303.kext/
bash-3.2# rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/osx-pl2303.kext/
bash-3.2# rm -r /Library/Receipts/osx-pl2303.pkg/

Reboot

1. Download this file from mediafire.

2. Extract to your root partition, which is usually Mac HD. Execute these command in the terminal.

Code:

~<Username>$ sudo -s
bash-3.2# cd /
bash-3.2# ls

You should see the Install folder here.

Code:

bash-3.2# cd Install
bash-3.2# sh Install.sh

Reboot

Open Network preferences, you should be able to see ZTE CDMA Tech as one the connections. Enter your bsnl number and select Vendor as Novatel and Model as cdma from advanced tab.

The script is for ZTE AC8700 modems with hardware id 0c56:6000. The numbers 24576 and 1478 in the script correspond to the above id. You would have to change it if you have a different hardware id.

Connect and Surf!

Leave a reply if it works for you.

Most likely the hardware id of your modem is different from mine. Check and enter your id's into the script.

bash is your shell, your command prompt. What follows bash# are the actual commands.

Check if the hardware id of your modem matches with the one given in the script.

Use the restore script to undo any changes and then repeat the procedure.

That triangle is supposed to display your evdo signal, if you have the proper drivers. I get that empty triangle too. If it bothers you, then you can delete wwan.menu file from your core services directory. It will go away.Guests cannot see images in the messages.

Convert it to decimal and replace the ones in the script.
