Connection with the phone
I've used a USB cable. My laptop is Presario 705 and it doesn't have an IRDA adapter,
bluetooth dongle are too expensive for now !
The cable is an MA-8910c. It is a USB to serial converter and it recharges
the phone thru the USB power supply... I don't have to carry my recharger
everywhere, I only need a PC with a USB port to recharge my battery :)
Use kernel 2.4.18 and choose "USB Prolific
2303 Single Port Serial Driver" under the "USB serial converter support"
menu.
It identifies itself as shown below:
(output from /proc/bus/usb/devices)
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40
MxPwr= 0mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00
Prot=00 Driver=hub
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 8 Ivl=255ms
T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#=
7 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=
8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=067b ProdID=2303 Rev= 2.02
If you have hotplug installed it should recognize the device and load
the module for you, otherwise you have to modprobe usbserial and pl2303.
This is the syslog created by hotplug:
hub.c: USB new device
connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 7
kernel: usbserial.c: PL-2303 converter detected
kernel: usbserial.c: PL-2303 converter now attached
to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs)
/etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup pl2303 for USB product
67b/2303/202
Once connected you should have a new entry:
/dev/usb/tts/0 (if you are using devfs) or /dev/ttyUSB0 (if using old
style dev).
Now you can use minicom to connect to the phone and communicate with it thru
AT commands (T68
AT commands)
Using gnokii
I have tried gnokii 0.4.3 and it seems to
work (although only in part).
this is how the gknoiirc should be configured:
port = /dev/usb/tts/0
model = AT-HW
initlength = default
connection = serial
use_locking = yes
serial_baudrate = 115200
serial_write_usleep = 100
handshake = software
#require_dcd = 1
Some examples:
> gnokii --identify

Memory information are not correct. It seem
sto report always the value 0 (zero) for free slots.
xgnokii seems to have some problem reading contacts and calendar. Calendar
doesn't work at all. Contacts fails near the dumping of the 97th slot.
Using gammu (formerly myGnokii2)
gammu (Gnu All Mobile Management Utilities)
can be found here : http://www.mwiacek.com/english/gsm/gammu/gammu.html
my .gammurc looks like this:
[gammu]
port = /dev/usb/tts/0
#model = 6110
connection = at115200
#synchronizetime = yes
#logfile = gammulog
#logformat = textall
#use_locking = yes
#gammuloc = locfile
gammu have the same problem reported with
gnokii (the free slots have always a value of zero).

Using openobex
Using the OBEX protocol I've got the best
results... at least I was able to dump some interesting infos from the telephone.
You have to install openobex library and the openobex-apps.
Once compiled openobex-apps you should have
a little application called obex_test. You can use it to connect to the phone.
here is a session example:
> ./obex_test -r /dev/usb/tts/0
OBEX to R320 on /dev/usb/tts/0!
cobex_open()
OBEX Interactive test client/server.

cobex_do_at_cmd()
> q
the list of all the OBEX object that are
present in the T68 can be retrived at the end of the T68
AT command document.
obex_test has very few commands:
c: connect
d: disconnect
g: obex GET
p: obex PUT
for other supported commando look at main
function in obex_test.c
Connecting to the Internet using GPRS
After you have succesfully connected the
phone to your PC (see the above section), you can try to use pppd to connect
to the internet thru a GPRS connection.
here is my /etc/ppp/peer/gprs configuration:
# Connect chat script:
# uses AT commands to setup and 'call' the GPRS connection.
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/peers/gprs-connect"
# Disconnect script:
# AT commands used to 'hangup' the GPRS connection.
disconnect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/peers/gprs-disconnect"
# The phone is not required to authenticate:
noauth
# Serial device to which the GPRS phone is connected:
/dev/usb/tts/0 115200
# Add the ppp interface as default route to the IP routing
table
defaultroute
# Keep pppd attached
to the terminal:
# Comment this to get daemon mode pppd.
nodetach
# pppd must not propose
any IP address to the peer!
noipdefault
# DNS servers from the phone:
# some phones support this, some don't.
usepeerdns
/etc/ppp/peers/gprs-connect :
'ABORT' 'BUSY'
'ABORT' 'ERROR'
'ABORT' 'NO CARRIER'
'ABORT' 'NO DIALTONE'
'ABORT' 'Invalid Login'
'ABORT' 'Login incorrect'
'' 'ATZ'
'OK' 'ATDT*99#'
'CONNECT' ''
/etc/ppp/peers/gprs-disconnect :
'ABORT' 'BUSY'
'ABORT' 'ERROR'
'ABORT' 'NO DIALTONE'
'' '\K'
'' '+++ATH'
after you have created these file you can
connect with these commands:
pppd call gprs
this will remain attached to the current
shell, so you have to type from another shell :
route add default gw
ppp0
