usb-modeswitch

This command sets the USB modeswitch settings. When a USB device is plugged in for the first time, it might perform like a flash storage. The MSBR should make the storage device disappear and changes it to a communications device to work with it under the Cellular interface.

The usb_modeswitch command can send a provided message to the device, to initiate the mode switching. Using the parameters in the “modem-details” command, and the usb-modeswitch sub-menu, it changes the device "default-product-id" to the "modem-product-id" and the “default-vendor id” to “vendor-id”.
