Tata Indicom supply drivers along with photon+ device, but it didn’t work for me on my Mac (Snow Leopard). So I had to manually download it from web.
You need following packages:
1. HUAWEI_UMTS_Dashboard_MACB301D 11SP00C03(ISO).zip (Driver) – required
– Once you install above driver it will automatically add a device “HUAWEIMobile-Modem” in your Network Preferences. Next step is to configure the device.
Configuration: Default
Telephone Number: #777
Account Name: internet
Password:internet
“Apply” your changes and then click “Connect”.
2. MobileConnectDriver(4.15.00.00).zip (Software) – optional
– You can also use this software for connecting to internet. This software gives you more details like signal strength, data transfered/downloaded etc.
Thanks for the excellent article.
i got my tata photon to working.
best regards

Hey Brham,
Try following instructions mentioned in the blog post, it should work. Note that these instructions are also quite old, so not sure if it will work with latest devices.

Photon isnt working for my Mac OS X Lion 10.8 giving error that no phone services available.
check http://kurund.com/blog/2012/02/12/configure-tata-indicom-photon-on-mac/ which worked for me on my Mac OS X Lion.
what if i am only getting the photon whiz showing in the lower right of the dialer and my account is only for photon plus?
my phot0on worked splendidly for a month or so and then suddenly stopped giving me a signal with photon plus, hence offering my no net access. 🙁
please advise me as i have uninstalled and reinstalled the software form the photon loads of times and had no success at all.
thanks!
(i use mac os 10.6.8)

Hi – I am struggling with Tata Photon helpdesk for a couple of days now. I have Mac version 10.6.7 Snow Leopard. Will your solution work?
Chaitali,
You can give it a try. Note that this blog is based on my experience with the device. Beside me it worked for few other folks so it might worth trying.
best of luck and do reply back if it works
