Author Topic: GPRS from Zaurus via IR to Orange phone (Read 7428 times)

ajaustin · « **on:** December 23, 2003, 02:59:17 pm »

I am trying to get my Zaurus on-line using IR to my Orange phone.

If I set up a dial-up connection in Windows it works and connects fine, but if I try from the Zaurus I get \"Subscribe to GPRS first\". I obviously don\'t need to do this as the Windows setup works.

I have found some suggestions on Google, but nothing seems to work for me.

Is anyone connecting to GPRS from a PDA and if so do they have any words of wisdom to share about modem strings or other settings that might help?

HELLO!!!! *EARPERKS*

Yes mate I\'ve had this problem too, it plagued me for hours and I solved it a couple of days ago, this is what you need to do. For the init string put AT&FE0V1&D2S0=0S7=10 instead of ATZ

This works but due to the lack of ATZ occasionally you may have to reset your phone. BTW that init string works fine for my Orange / Nokia 6310i but it may not work for others, still no harm in trying it. I\'m guessing you have the same phone as me.

If you need a PPP peer script to connect I can upload one, just ask.

Not sure if the following would work (though I think it will), but you may want to try if you don\'t have any luck with the suggestion by Foxdie.

They are actually instructions for getting the AirCable Bluetooth Module to work, but if you ignore the first line change (/dev/ttyS0) which redirects the IR Output to the bluetooth connector, then the rest should be much the same.

Note, only tried it with O2 contract which works fine. Could not test IR side since I only have the T68i handy at the moment (wish someone would fix the IR bug).

If you do try it, would be grateful if you could let me know if it works ok and I can add a revamped post for the IR version.

Foxdie: Thanks for the info - it worked perfectly for me. What do you mean by \"resetting\" the phone? And yes, I also have a 6310i on Orange.

Zuber: I took a look at your instructions, very detailed, I may need them sometime. I have added your web site to my useful Zaurus links. I think the modem init string is the cruxial part in this case.

By default the ATZ init command resets the modem it connects to, in this case it\'s the internal modem of the 6310i

Occasionally you may try to connect to GPRS and you may get an error like \"Temporary Network Problem\", the only way to fix this is to do a hard reset (doesn\'t lose your settings / phonebook though), the way to do this is to take the battery out while the phone is still on, wait 2 seconds and then replace it and turn your phone on again. (This tip came from a friend that works for Vodafone though).

I still get \"Subscribe to GPRS first\".

And when I use ATDT*99***1# I get an error. When I use ATDT*99# I get \"Subscribe to GPRS first\".

When I connect using only my phone (Nokia 6310i) it works fine.

This is my script:

/dev/ttyS0
115200
connect \'/usr/sbin/chat -s -v -t 60 ABORT \"NO CARRIER\" ABORT \"NO DIALTONE\" ABORT \"BUSY\" \"\" \"AT&FE0V1&D2S0=0S7=10\" OK \"AT+CGDCONT=1,\"IP\",\"193.113.200.195\"\" OK \"ATDT*99#\" CONNECT\'
crtscts
noipdefault
modem
user \"gprs\"
password \"password\"
usepeerdns
defaultroute
connect-delay 1000
remotename DialupIrDA1069361469

That\'s too long a script, this is what I have for mine, the filename is GPRS:

Code: [Select]

/dev/rfcomm0

115200

connect \'/usr/sbin/chat -s -v ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT "NO DIALTONE" ABORT "BUSY" "" "AT&FE0V1&D2S0=0S7=10" OK "ATDT*99#" CONNECT\'

crtscts

noipdefault

modem

user "REMOVED_BY_FOXDIE_FOR_SECURITY"

usepeerdns

defaultroute

connect-delay 3000

remotename GPRS

The /dev/rfcomm0 is my bluetooth adapter ] nokia 6310i device. Try using this script instead of your own. From what I can guess from your script there\'s too many AT commands and it confuses the phone. I will confess my 6310i is a fussy little bitch, I guess it\'s a problem with all of them.

It still not working. Getting the same message: \"Subscribe to GPRS first\".

Foxdie · « **Reply #8 on:** December 31, 2003, 02:25:16 pm »

Have you successfully used GPRS in the past?

If so I suggest you do a hard reset of your phone as I suggested above, pull the battery out when it\'s still on, wait 5 seconds and then plug the battery in and try again.

Stegnation · « **Reply #9 on:** December 31, 2003, 02:32:26 pm »

When I just connect with my phone it has no problem connecting. I can see the G in the top left, so it\'s using GPRS. I used all the settings from the phone, but still not working.

I have been following this thread with interest. The information I have from Vodafone Ireland is that the Nokia 6310i with firmware 5.50 and later has a problem with being used as a GPRS modem and returns the message â€œSubscribe to GPRS firstâ€. Phones with firmware versions earlier than 5.50 seem to be fine and do not have this problem. To check your Nokia firmware key in *#0000#

Assuming the Settings/GRPS Modem Settings in the Nokia 6310i are correct then I find the Zaurus Network Modem Int string ATDT works best.

So far I do not know what the answer is. Vodafone Ireland say they are looking into it.

Stegnation · « **Reply #11 on:** January 01, 2004, 12:00:40 pm »

That could be it, because I have version 5.51

tumnus · « **Reply #12 on:** January 01, 2004, 05:31:42 pm »

I use the init string ATZ with my Nokia 6310i on Orange and set the access point \'orangeinternet\' in the phone settings from the menu item Settings-]GPRS modem settings-]Edit active access point-]GPRS access point

I have firmware 4.80 though.

Tumnus: I also have a 6310i (firmware 4.80) on Orange with GPRS enabled. I\'m seriously thinking of going for the Blue Monkey Bluetooth card, and from what you say, it\'s possible to set up the Zaurus to use the 6310i as a GPRS modem via BT.

Do you have a HOWTO of some sort, about how to set up the Z for this? I once got my (late lamented) Psion 5mx working with the 6310i over IR - would I be able to reuse any of this information (e.g. the special init string for GPRS)?

Thanks,
Tim

For general Bluetooth I have written this howto: http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php...ename=Bluetooth

Whether I use IR or Bluetooth, I use the init string \"ATZ\" and dial \"*99#\" for GPRS access. Like I said, the GPRS access point is set on my 6310i itself. That is all I need for GPRS access, no complicated modem strings or anything else like that.
