How to connect to a Linux computer with a CDMA 1x mobile phone

Article Title: how to connect a Linux computer to the Internet with a CDMA 1x mobile phone. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

The following describes how to use a cdma 1x mobile phone to connect to the Internet on a linux computer. if you are lucky, set it to no more than 1 minute (refer to step 4 directly ).

First, thank Fireshade for sharing his successful experience with us:

Of course, thanks to google too :)

Currently, there are roughly three wireless Internet access methods available: wlan, cdma 1x, and gprs.

Among them, the cdma 1x and gprs based on PLMN can achieve wireless access in the mobile environment (such as traveling by train, from one city to another )).

For details, see the relevant articles of China Information Industry Network:

Hardware and software required:

A well-functioning linux machine (my OS is redhat linux 9.0)

A cdma 1x mobile phone (my mobile phone is Samsung x339)

One usb cable corresponding to the mobile phone (the assembly price is around 25, generally no more than 50. corresponding to X199, X209, X319, X339, X359, X369, X559, X609, X659)

Now let's start.

1) ensure that the modules uhci. o and acm. o have been loaded. if not, run

Modprobe uhci

Modprobe acm

2) connect your mobile phone to your computer using a data cable. /Var/log/messages

There should be something similar to the following:

Hub. c: new USB device. 2-1, assigned address 2

Usb. c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x4e8/0x6601) is not claimed by any active driver

Usb. c: registered new driver acm

TtyACM0: usb acm device

Acm. c: v0.21: USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters

3) execution

Cd/

Find./-name "* ttyACM *" | less

If the ttyACM0 device file is not found (the file in rh 9.0 is in/dev/input/ttyACM0)

We can create this file as root and put it in/dev /.

Mknod ttyACM0 c 166 0

Allow all users to read and write:

Chmod 666/dev/ttyACM0

TtyACM0 is the device file mapped to the cdma modem.

Now, we need to set the dial-up. of course, if you do not have xwindow installed and you only use lynx in the console, you can use tools such as pppsetup to set the dial-up ,:

Ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pubhttp://Linux.chinaitlab.com/system/network/serial/ppp/

Then fill in the blanks. remember that the number is #777, and the username and password are both CARD.

Device/dev/ttyACM0, with a baud rate of BPS

Use ppp-on and ppp-off to connect to and disconnect the network

4) redhat linux 9.0. by default, both uhci. o and acm. o are loaded, and the location of ttyACM0 is/dev/input/ttyACM0.

Just do the following (xwindow + gnome ):

Gnome menu-> System Settings-> Network-> New-> modem connection-> Device/dev/input/ttyACM0, baud rate 230400bps, process control (none) -> Phone #777. the username and password are both CARD and enter the provider name (such as unicom)

After a while, activate the connection to enable the internet on the pc.
