The Huawei HiLink modules provide access to the HTTP API for Huawei USB modems. The E3531 modem is specifically supported but the modules may work for other Huawei USB dongles that provide the HiLink HTTP interface.

The new modem is Huawei E3531(E3531s under the cap). I’m normally using Windows 7 and have putty, but I also have access to a LiveCD I made myself(my own setup and progs) with Peppermint Linux 5, and one pc with it installed.
HUAWEI E3531 looks like the HUAWEI E3131 USB Stick, which is also supports the HSPA+ download speed up to 21Mbps and upload speed to 5.76Mbps. Huawei USB Drivers allows you to connect your Huawei Smartphone and Tablets to the computer without the need of any software. Huawei USB drivers is an important of all Huawei smartphones & tablets.

The modules provide access to the HiLink API which is not the same as accessing the dongle through AT commands over a serial device.

The API allows you read and send SMS messages, start and stop your data connection and monitor your data usage. This module provides the interface for the only currently tested USB device.

General Method Responses

All methods except the new constructor return a response hash. If the response contains the element code then there has been an error. Details of the error may be in the message element of the response.

The code returned may be an error code from the HiLink API itself or it may be an HTTP response code if there is some problem with connection to the API. For example the response may contain the following:

A successful response will never contain a code element.

Requests that successfully return information contain the information in the response hash.

Successful command requests return a simple success hash

A successful request or command will never return a code element in the response. A request or command that encounters an error will always return a code element in the reponse.

Create a new instance of the class

The HiPi::Huawei::E3531 uses a default ip address 0f 192.168.8.1 for the modem interface. If you are experimenting with the modules for use with a different model, you may specify a different ip address in the contructor.

If you specify 'debug' in the constructor, the modules will dump full request and respose details to STDOUT.

If your E3531 has a password set, many of the methods require you to login.

The login method can be called routinely in your code as it will only attempt to login if your device requires it.

The default username and password for the E3531 are 'admin' and 'admin'.
