Huawei E220 - HUS-1000 Test Bench manufacturer - CRI-1001 Tester

Features The device contains not only the cellular antenna but also about 22MB (10 MB on older versions) of storage memory accessible to the operating system as a USB mass storage device formatted with CDFS, thus emulating a CD-ROM drive. In this memory, E220 devices supplied by mobile operators may contain 3G dialer software written by the operator, while Huawei-branded devices contain Huawei's original dialing software, also referred as dashboard.. Huawei's dashboard and updates for it are also available for updating from Huawei's website, or the 11.313.02.00.01 firmware for 7.2 Mbit/s from NetCom (in reality 'flashing' this device means writing a firmware image to its internal flash memory, which is different from "updating the dashboard", which is simply writing a new CDFS disc image to the USB mass storage device exposed by windows). Flashing the firmware of this device doesn't change the USB Mass Storage memory used for their operator's software, therefore connection settings (such as APN) will be retained.

The software loaded on the device may start automatically through Windows's autostart facility, which can be bypassed by pressing the Shift key while inserting the USB cable of E220. It is possible to remove the operator branding by flashing the device with Huawei's Mobile Partner software, also available from Mobile Broadband Rocks. Huawei company does not publicly release firmware updates for its devices, only dashboard updates. The standard way of obtaining firmware updates is through your service provider, however some firmware updates are publicly available over the internet and some users have crossflashed (i.e. using a firmware provided by service provider "X" with modem supplied by service provider "Y") their modems without troubles. Updating the modem's dashboard does not remove or affect the network-lock (that may be in effect with modems purchased subsidized from a service provider) that prevents you from using the modem with any service provider. However updating the modem's firmware may remove this network-lock or even the opposite, turn a network-lock free modem into a locked one. Hardware E220 connects to the computer with a standard Mini USB cable.

The device comes with two cables, one short and one long. The long one has two USB A interfaces, one used for data and power and the other optionally only for assistance power in case the computer is not able to provide the full 500 mA (milliamperes) required for the device to work from one USB interface only. If your connection gets disrupted often or isn't really stable, consider using the two plug usb cable and supplying secondary power. The E220 antenna is internal; the USB cable does not act as an antenna. There is a way to connect an external antenna even though there is no antenna connector. Together with a high gain antenna like an LPDA or an OMNI booster antenna and an adapter, signal strength can be considerably improved. There is also a way to do this, open the modem, remove the small internal antenna, and solder a umts-antenna cable onto the board. You will invalidate the warranty, but it can be a cheap and functional way to connect an external antenna. Software Vodafone 3G USB modem Huawei E220 includes its own Windows software in its internal memory, self-installs through the Windows's auto-start feature and can be flashed (overwritten) by the end user.

The standard software by Huawei is called Mobile Partner and is indicated by the code UTPS, as it is found on the manufacturer's download site. Some network operators selling E220, however, replace Huawei's software with their own, which often is software-locked (albeit not SIM-locked) to work only with the operator's own network. End users can use either third-party software such as MWconn (freeware) or alternative operating systems (e.g. Linux) to circumvent this and use their E220 with any SIM, or flash their device with Huawei's original software.[dubious discuss] Since the Release of Windows 7 a number of issues have been reported that require a firmware upgrade to the modem. Huawei have released new firmware to the Operators who have generally made it available on their websites. The Firmware upgrade must be carried out from a machine running Windows XP or Windows Vista and which can see the modem. Once this is complete Windows 7 is able to see and use the modem.
