# Orbic/Kajeet RC400L
|
|
|
|
The Orbic RC400L is an inexpensive LTE modem primarily designed for the US market, and the original device for which Rayhunter is developed.
|
|
|
|
It is also sometimes sold under the brand Kajeet RC400L. This is the exact same hardware and can be treated the same.
|
|
|
|
You can buy an Orbic [using bezos
|
|
bucks](https://www.amazon.com/Orbic-Verizon-Hotspot-Connect-Enabled/dp/B08N3CHC4Y),
|
|
or on [eBay](https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=orbic+rc400l).
|
|
|
|
[Please check whether the Orbic works in your country](https://www.frequencycheck.com/countries/), and whether the Orbic RC400L supports the right frequency bands for your purpose before buying.

## Two kinds of installers
|
|
|
|
The orbic's installation routine underwent many different changes:
|
|
|
|
1. The ADB-based shellscript prior to version 0.3.0
|
|
2. The Rust-based, ADB-based installer since version 0.3.0
|
|
3. Then, starting with 0.6.0, an alternative installer `./installer
|
|
orbic-network` that is supposed to work more reliably, can run over the
|
|
Orbic's WiFi connection and without the need to manually install USB drivers
|
|
on Windows.
|
|
4. Starting with 0.8.0, `orbic-network` has been renamed to `orbic`, and the
|
|
old `./installer orbic` is now called `./installer orbic-usb`.
|
|
|
|
It's possible that many tutorials out there still refer to some of the old
|
|
installation routines.
|
|
|
|
## The Network Installer
|
|
|
|
Since Rayhunter 0.6.0 there is an alternative, experimental installation
|
|
procedure at `./installer orbic-network` that is supposed to eventually replace
|
|
`./installer orbic`. It does not require any USB driver installation and works
|
|
identically on Windows, Mac and Linux. From our testing it works much more
|
|
reliably on Windows than `./installer orbic` does.
|
|
|
|
The drawback is that the device's admin password is required.
|
|
|
|
1. Connect to the Orbic's network via WiFi or USB tethering
|
|
2. Run `./installer orbic-network --admin-password 'mypassword'`
|
|
|
|
* On Verizon Orbic, the password is the WiFi password.
|
|
* On Kajeet/Smartspot devices, the default password is `$m@rt$p0tc0nf!g`
|
|
* On Moxee-brand devices, check under the battery for the password.
|
|
* You can reset the password by pressing the button under the back case until the unit restarts.
|
|
|
|
3. The installer will eventually reboot the device, at which point the device is up and running.
|
|
|
|
## Obtaining a shell
|
|
|
|
After running the installer, there will not be a rootshell and ADB will not be
|
|
enabled. Instead you can use `./installer util orbic-start-telnet` and connect
|
|
to the hotspot using `nc 192.168.1.1 24`. On Windows you might not have `nc`
|
|
and will have to use WSL for that.
|
|
|
|
If you are using an installer prior to 0.7.0 or `orbic-usb` explicitly, you can
|
|
obtain a root shell by running `adb shell` or `./installer util shell`. Then,
|
|
inside of that shell you can run `/bin/rootshell` to obtain "fakeroot."
