CDMA Phone connection with Linux:
I am with Debian Sarge 3.X
1). Flexi Nokia CDMA 2280 + the non-original data cable DKU-5 made in China.
From a financial point of view, the after-market Nokia cable will be sufficient because using a Nokia default cable will not work in this solution.
While purchasing the phone or cable, it would be better to directly try the cable while in the shop from where you are buying Oxygen Phone software (the software comes with the cable’s gift pack)
Please do not choose the DKU-5 connection during the wizard. Instead choose the DTE-9. If it can be recognized in Oxygen, God Willing could be use with the Linux.
All I want to say here is the Nokia default cable DKU-5 original will not work with Linux. This is why you must get an after-market China cable.
Here is method:
1). First confirm if you have p12303 driver available in your kernel (in Debian it’s already available) also verify if the wvdial driver available.
2). Plug the data cable to USB port, if will be recognized by kernel as follows.
Oct 31 05:13:45 devel kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using address 3 Oct 31 05:13:45 devel kernel: pl2303 1-2:1.
0: PL-2303 converter detected Oct 31 05:13:45 devel kernel: usb 1-2: PL-2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
Oct 31 05:13:45 devel udev [3678]: creating device node ‘/dev/ttyUSB0′ Oct 31 05:13:46 devel usb. Agent [3667]: pl2303: already loaded
3). Now edit the /etc/wvdial.conf
[Dialer Defaults] Phone = #777
Username = telkomnet@flexi
Password = telkom
New PPPD = yes
the Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 230400
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = AT+crm=1
ISDN = 0
the Modem Type = Analogous Modem
4). execute below command on Linux shell with the order (must with root):
devel:/home/i2c# wvdial
–> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.54.0
–> Cannot get information for serial port.
–> Initializing modem.
–> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
–> Sending: AT+crm=1 AT+crm=1
OK
–> Modem initialized.
–> Sending: ATDT#777
–> Waiting for carrier. ATDT#777
CONNECT
–> Carrier detected. Waiting for prompt.
~[7f]}#@!}!}”} }5}”}&} }*} } }#}%B#}%}%}&c
q+I< ~
–> PPP negotiation detected.
–> Starting pppd at Mon Oct 31 05:19:18 2005
–> pid of pppd: 3735
–> Using interface ppp0
–> local IP address 10.1.11.103
–> remote IP address 10.1.63.1
–> primary DNS address 10.1.1.20
–> secondary DNS address 202.134.0.155
Now you are done. Enjoy using CDMA phone as modem being on Linux
5). End the connection by pressing the switch of Ctrl-C
Caught signal #2! Attempting to exit gracefully…
–> Terminating on signal 15
–> Connect time 0.0 minutes.
–> Disconnecting at Mon Oct 31 05:19:23 2005
