Installation procedure and method for UI

software

1. Description of installation procedure

The UI software setup package under Linux (Ubuntu, openSUSE, Fedora,…) system contains the

driver of USB data card and offers different driver source codes according to different Linux

kernel versions. They are put under the setup path: /usr/local/bin/ztemtApp/zteusbserial, and saved

in different sub-folders.

The setup package will automatically compile the corresponding driver version and load the driver

(insmod ztemt.ko) during the installation.

Therefore, you need to install gcc compiler and kernel development package (kernel-devel) in

advance.

Ubuntu9.04 system is an exception because the USB driver module already exists in the system

kernel. The setup package will omit the step of compiling the driver after confirming that the

system version is Ubuntu9.04; instead, it would modify the system pilot configuration (menu.lst)

in order to support different ZTE USB data cards.

Note: You need insert USB data card when installing UI software under Ubuntu9.04 system,

otherwise you will be unable to install the drivers for the USB modem

Prerequisite conditions for installing UI software

Since the installation of Linux system package is rather complicated, you need to have certain

experience of using Linux system to complete the installation. It’s recommended to select the

corresponding package upon the system installation, which is the simplest method.

(The installation methods may vary among different types of Linux system. Here we take
openSUSE for example）

gcc compiler and kernel-devel should be installed in the system because the driver needs to be

compiled during the installation. If gcc compiler and kernel-devel are not yet installed, install

them from their respective Linux system installation CD.

¾ Install gcc

Recommended method: when installing Linux system, select gcc relevant package at

“Development Tools”.

Or install it again from CD after the system is installed.

openSUSE: it’s recommened to install with yast setup package manager. Select software,
