how to install reliance cdma phone as modem for internet

[ganesan]

i am facing a problem.. i could not install my reliance india mobile cdma phone for using internet in linux ..redhat..
anybody can tell me how to install..or configure it to connect to internet using it ?

[Ricky]

First of Please post your query in right forum!!

Now your solution!!
you have to use wvdial system in linux..  I am assuming that your Reliance mobile phone is detected as "Samsung CDMA technology by Kudzu"
So your next step is to configure wvdial..
Now creat a file in /etc named wvdial.conf with the following contents !!

Code: [Select]

[Modem0]
Modem=/dev/input/ttyS0
Baud=115200
SetVolume=0
Dial Command = ATDT
init1=ATZ
FlowControl= Hardware (CRTSCTS)
[Dialer reliance]
Username= Ph No.
Password= Ph No.
Phone=#777
Stupid Mode= 1
Inherits = Modem0

Here in above code change /dev/input/ttyS0 to your computer's com port if you are using serial cable other if you are using USB then replace that with ttyACM2 or ttyACMx here x= you USB port.

Now to dial use..

Code: [Select]

wvdial relianceand you should be up.. if it don't work see whether you are using right ports..

I tried the method recommended at this url:

pcquest.com/content/search/showarticle.asp?artid=50099

for using reliance as a modem under linux.I am using PCQlinux that is based on RedHAt 7.1 . But after editing the wvdial.conf file,when I execute the command :

$ wvdial cdma

It gives me the following error:

--->wvdial :Internet dialer version 1.41
--->Cannot open /dev/input/ttyACM0 : Device or resource busy.

I have a samsung handset and I have connected it via USB port.Can you please let me know the solution to the same as my internal Motorola  modem (connected on COM4) is also not detected by the linux.

[Ricky]

It is simply problem that you have not selected right port.. try playing a bit.. ie.. change ACM0 to somehitng else..
also try /dev/usb/ttyACM0 to 3 or 4..

Tell me that was ur samsung phone was detected by kudzu ie.. during boot ? Hey.. that url is mentioning same method..

Also ask "barnamos" b'coz he has done something that working practically..

[its_deja_vu]

Thanks for the help but unfortunately it did not work....I tried all the ports....And yes..kudzu does detects the modem...I tried removing the configuration and repeated the process from the scratch..but did not work...

Moreover,can you tell me how come my Linux is not detecting the Motorola intenal 56K Modem.it is on COM4.Earlier when I had my modem on COM3 it was detected by linux but not be windows.Then I shifted it to COM4 and the roles reversed  :!: .I have read that winmodems do not work in Linux..is it so?

[Ricky]

Internal modem needs lots of software work to function as compared to external modem where physical hardware take care of that..
Now most fo the companies don't disclose info.. which are need to write a device driver and moreover they also donot provide enough resources so that is y few internal modems don't work in Linux.. It has been reported by  "neo" that motorola has stopped linux driver for motoralo interal modem..

BTw. can u give me output of "cat /proc/pci" ?

[its_deja_vu]

Here is the output of the /proc/pci file.(Sorry for the delay)

Would appreciate knowing if the same information will work for connecting a fixed line wireless phone through Tata Indicom - and where can one get an RJ45 to USB connector in Mumbai?

[Ricky]

RJ45 to USB !!! rather you buy serial to USB connector.. and yes it applies to tata indicom also but you can also try Reliance rconnect software first..
both uses CDMA 1x  technology and almsot same product..

[Vic]

The cable suplied by Tata Indicom is RJ45 (phone end) to serial (computer end, 9 pin), but that is not useful to me since my serial connector is used already.

I think you are right, I should get a serial male to USB connector, but at least a RJ45 to USB would be hardwired with less possibility of loose connections.

I have not understood your comment about using the RConnect code? That seems to be the solution suggested in this discussion, or are there any other choices available?

[Ricky]

The reliance guys provide a software named reconnect, a command line utitility to configure there phones.. so get that and try that..
