Huawei unlock

Unlocking the Huawei E173 modem/dongle

When changing the SIM card to another operator, from Telia to Comviq, the program ”Mobile Partner” demanded an unlock code. There was a prompt with ”Unlock the data card”. After some investigation, Google with ”unlock huawei dongle free”, I found a site.

Link to unlock tool

Here You could get the 8 digit unlock code without downloading any software. Just put in the IMEI number, klick on submit and You will have the unlock code.

Huawei E173 and Mac

When installing an access router in the boat I chose the Dovado Pro AC, Dovado Products. One thing was that it uses 12VDC and an other that it can connect to a neighboring 2.4/5GHz WiFi network via SpotBoost®

For many years we have used Telia, Sweden, as a broadband-supplier and for several years ago, as backup, we also got a Huawei E173 modem, which i would like to use with the router. For some months ago I phoned Telia suport since the modem no longer ”talked” to my Mac OS X 10.11, El Capitan. The supplied software didn’t work anymore. The answer from the support was that the support for this modem was terminated.

Despite their statement there is a working software called ”Mobile Partner” which seems ?? to work with all Huawei modems

Link to the software

Otherwise just Google "Huawei Mobile Partner"

And a link to unlock the Huawei modem.

Storebro Commander 410, battery circuit

Some circuit diagrams and photos from a revised installation. 

In short the cables from the starter battery are going the shortest possible way to the starters via a remote switch. 

Both thrusters and windlass are connected to the start battery.

Interconnect batteries.

Used shunt.
