Yes. It normally needs to be entered once only. Default is to supply it
every time - unnecessary.
Disclaimer: ex-Complex Data Tester
I now have a configuration package (as a .deb) which I've emailed to
Christian for testing.
For the record - the data port on these devices is /dev/ttyUSB0
They are sold as a "Novatel U988" - they are actually an "Ovation
MC998D" (I'm waiting of the chipset details).
Cheers
