i have a 3120 GSM mobile and GPRS connection from Orange. I want to utilise
my Mobile as modem. I already have Data Cable also. I want to can i use my
Mobile as modem? is it possible ? If is it possible how can i do that? Any
idea.
data cable has RS-232 terminal/USB?. I am not sure about USB, never tried.
Anyway, this is what I did for Airtel on a Sony Ericsson k700i. I will
tell you what to do for Data cable RS-232 (I was using IrDA, which is
quite more complicated):
1) Make sure your serial link is detected as ttyS? (check with
setserial /dev/ttyS[01], you should see 16650 uart listed)
2) Modprobe 8250 fror serial_core functionality and if you see no
ttyS? stuff in /dev or dmesg. If you have IrDA port and if it is
enabled by default (er, usually not but just in case) then disable it
with setserial command (setserial /dev/ttySx uart none) and then
follow on.
3) Since it is 16650 uart if its datacable (usually) you should be
able to run wvdialconf to detect the modem. (command: mv
/etc/wvdial.conf ~/wvdia.conf; wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf)
4) Now open /etc/wvdial.conf and set the parameters for phone number
(*99#? stuff. For nokia if I am not wrong it is *99#1 if you have only
one connection parameter settings in your phone). Enter your Username
= and Password = parameters.
5) For your access point settings you should edit your INIT strings.
You might get the strings from either google (search?q=your model +
your service provider) or get it from your modem log on windows if you
have one.
6) Edit /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and add your "username * password" line.
7) wvdial
Thats it.
