RConnect & Linux

[paraj 0]

Hi paraj,

I used your script to connet my Nokia 3125 CDMA phone for connecting to internet in Fedora core 3. On running sh ppp-on first time its gave me following output

[root@localhost ppp]# sh ppp-on

ppp-on: line 3: my phone no: command not found

...............................

I am using my phone no in USERNAME of ppp-on script and it says that command not found . Also I couldn't get meaning of "export TELEPHONE ACCOUNT PASSWORD" Form where this script will get ACCOUNT and PASSWORD information. Please help me in connecting this phone in linux.

hi kavita

as for your command not found error, have you set USERNAME=9323170906 if thats ur phone no. try to check out your ppp-on again for errors. ya u pointed out correctly, initially i did write account and password in ppp-on but decided against passing them on. so yes you can delete ACCOUNT and PASSWORD from export command in the ppp-on shell script.

you are sending your username as 229323170906. try using it without 22 . i do the same. if you're already doing the same check out for the /root/.ppprc file on your system and correct the username and password in this file. this is actually created if you

install rconnect for linux. if that too doesnt work try deleting the /root/.ppprc file. i hope this is gonna help you. try this out and inform me if it works or not.

bye

Hi Paraj,

Thanks for replying. But I solved this problem earlier. Actual problem was in .ppprc file where I had stored wrong phone number. your script is fundoo and working fine for both 3125 and 6255 models in Linux.

Kavita

Hi,

AFAIK R-Connect card is SIERRA based pcmcia device, well there are few kludges

but of course it works in linux. Visit the following link

http://centerclick.org/aircard555/ .

Now you may have to change a bit here and there according to the linux distribution

you're using.

Cheers ............

Hello,

I am Amey from Pune city. I use Mandriva 2006 and Windows XP pro . I want to use internet

on Mandriva linux. Details about my phone are as follows :

LG LSP-350R

Cable type : USB

Computer : IBM® Thinkpad® R50e laptop ( 2 USB ports )

I tried the method mentioned by moderator which was for Fedora 3. Well i was doing

Trial base R & D .. Hehe I found all options. I also configured it. But when i click

on "Connect" icon it says "Modem is busy".

It detected modem as V series modem under hardware profile.

Anybody can tell step by step process how to install ? I am a newbie so pls tell each step

Thanx,

Regards,

Amey Abhyankar.

hi ,

i'm a new forum member...this is my first msg.....i'm also a linux newbie...

my problem: phone goes to dormant state immdtly after i connect

OS : feodra core 4

ph model : LG LSP-350R

i followed the steps given in this link http://puggy.symonds.net/~rkrishnan/ril-howto.html ... i was successfull in making fedora detect the modem...but as soon as it tries to connect, within 2-3 sec it goes back to dormant state...why this happens??? plz reply...................

[Arun 795]

Doesn't it come back out of dormancy state when you try to access something online ? All these handsets are set to get into dormant mode when there is no traffic. If frequent dormant state is your problem, check out the other topics in R-Connect forum about resolving dormancy issue by pinging.

Hi,

Use ping utility to ping the peer side gateway from /etc/ppp/ip-up.local.

I had posted some scripts few days ago, search the archive.

Hi,

Why are you advising of pinging name server of reliance, when pinging

of peer end of PPP stream could serve the same purpose w/o causing

any problem.

Another thing, in linux instead of using ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxx

use

ping -A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

or ping -i 5 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

and its better if it called from pppd config scripts.

Hi,

Assuming that you're using your phone number as user and password, could you please

add the more verbose debug options to pppd and log the squence.

And also remove user and password options from your pppd command line, as you said

you're using .ppprc, so pppd will pick up that information from there besides user option requires username and password option requires password string on command line itself, if these options are passed directly to pppd command line.

Add this to .ppprc

user <your number> password <your number>

If you're using correct number as your username and password and even though rconnect radius is not letting you in, then there is a strong possibility that your rconnect

is not activated yet. Have you checked rconnect using some other OS ?

{ FOR MORE VERBOSE INFO }

create this file for storing pppd log.

touch /var/log/pppd.log

pppd with debug options

pppd /dev/modem 115200 debug debug logfile /var/log/pppd.log usepeerdns defaultroute noauth connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v "" at+crm=1 OK "atdt#777" CONNECT'

For mor information about pppd, type { man pppd } and read on.

hoooooooooooraaaaaaaaaaay .........atlast i was successful!! i'm now replying to this forum thru linux!!! thanks to all who sincerely helped me !!THANKS A LOT...a special thanks to dacodecz ...

the problem really was with the command... after removing 'user ' and 'password' from the command , it worked successfully!!!

the command i now gave was

pppd /dev/ttyACM0 115200 debug usepeerdns defaultroute noauth connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v "" at+crm=1 OK "atdt#777" CONNECT'

i appreciate all the participants of this forum ....wonderful work!!!

I have purchased LG LSP 350 R . And using freedom@night plan.It works fine in Windows Xp.

I have also installed Mandrake Linux 9.1 as a part of my educational program.

But I cudnt install it.

I tried with PPPD.

WVDIAL . and all information from rimweb forum.

I use locally purchased USB cable to connect the phone.

I have a USB addon PCI card. 4 usb ports are there.

In USBview in linux, it shows LG QualComm Device.

I cannot find to which port the linux is taking the USB cable. /dev/usb/acm/0 is also not working.

I configured as given in rimweb , but no use.

I downloaded rconnect for linux. But the phone is not listed there. All the info are for the serial cable.I didnt find any info for USB cable.

Please tell me how should i proceed to install the phone in mandrake 9.1 . Or tell me some other linux distro that will hav no problem with LG LSP 350R.

Please note that I use a PCI USB card.But that card is detected in linux booting time and

also in dmesg commands.and also shows in usbview.

So i think there is no problem with USB.

Thankyou for your time

Hi,

Could you please post the output of command { lsusb } and relavent section of dmesg

which speaks about your usb port identification and all.

Also when linux is fully booted pull out the usb cable out of phone and then push

it back in the phone, after that see the last lines of your dmesg.

do { dmesg > dmesg.log } and post the contents of that log file here.

hello Mr.Paraj i have tried with your scripts. there is one error message

that is...

:Command not found

:Command not found5753579 # this is a part of my mobile number

:Command not found

':not a valid identifier PASSWORD

/usr/sbin/pppd : unrecognized option '/dev/ttyUSB0' # actually there is no devices like ttyUSB0 or ttyACM0 in /dev/

Please help me. for every changes i must shutdown windows and then boot Linux.

i have done all the changes as per your advice.

Please help me. waiting for you

Thank you,

Karthi keyan.

[paraj 0]

what kernel are u using .... the device is definitely added....

maybe u can try out 'dmesg | grep tty' at the terminal and see if u find any device with ttyUSBx

also enable the haldaemon, maybe it help in finding the device

as for the command not found error i have'nt used any such command....so erase all the files....make them again.....it will definitely work....if u still have problem mail me....also check out if there is a .ppprc file in ur root directory as it conflicts with options file..do reply ....next time give me the exact output the script gives
