Exec dial up to traditional RAS server on an analogue phone - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi,
I've put a UK 'three' USIM into my O2 Exec and it works. I get 750 minutes a month on three and would like to use these minutes to dialup to my RAS server through the normal modem.
Is this possible?
I select Make New Connection - In the select modem field I select 'Cellular Line' and continue. My phone line doesn't even ring.
Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks in advance

Just to let you know that the settings provided by Vodafone Ireland DO work perfectly, BUT not in all areas of Dublin !!!
For days I was getting the message that there was no answer from the number dialed when trying to connect to the GPRS network but Vodafone Data Centre couldn't figure it out until I told them that it works perfectly in some parts of the city. They are now investigating a potential GPRS problem with some of their cells. I have found them to be very helpful if you need asistance.

Hi
what's the Vodafone phone number for connecting to GPRS in Ireland.
Kind regards
Tormey_no10
968 788743 668437 382537
Turn the number into text if it's unclear - the xda phone keypad should help :wink:
Vodafone Ireland
Has anyone managed to get Vodafone GPRS working properly around Dublin ? I have used all the settings provided by their Data Centre but can't get it to work. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
I have just unlocked my XDA II (PPC2003) and inserted my 087 Vodafone SIM. GPRS is working fine but when connected to GPRS and I either make or receive a voice call the GPRS connection is dropped. when I try to re-connect it tells me that the answering modem is not responding (isp.vodafone.ie). I need to soft-boot the device or turn wireless off then on again to be able to re-connect to GPRS. Anyone had this and can anyone help solve it.

Connect RAS server using cellular line

Happy new year to all
I got my xda ii couple days ago and trying to set up the internet on it. I don't have a GPRS data plan because it's quite costly here in Canada ($20 for 3mb). I have a RAS server at home using ADSL which capable of connecting any desktop or laptop to internet using phone line dialup. However, when i try to setup the connection for my xda ii, it received the following message:
Cannot Connect
Dialed: +9059999999
---------------------------------------------------
No modem at above number. To check your
connection settings and change them if
needed, tap settings.
Settings Dismiss
My Settings:
Start\Settings\Connections\Connections\My ISP\Test1
Select a modem: cellular line
Phone number: +9059999999 (9999999 assume it's my home phone)
User name: test1
Password: xxxxx
Again, when i use a laptop to dial in from a remote location, it works. So the RAS server works fine.
I don't hear any sounds from the xda nor my home phone rings. Not sure if i need a driver for it. I m in Canada using Rogers AT&T.
Thanks
Ray
Same problem
I'm also a recent XDA II user and am experienceing the same problem with my ISP in Austrlia. As I understood the doco, we should be able to dial into an ISP just like on a PC with land line. I hope this can work.

Dialing Pattern
In the XDA I, it has Dialing Pattern setting. Default at (+EFG), where E=country code, F=area code, G=tel number). If the number u put in the Telephone Number field includes Country, then modify Dialing Patter to (G) only.

On the Australian Telstra network, to use straight GSM dail through you should set the CSD Line Type to 9600 V.32. It ain't fast be it is cheaper than the standard 2c per K on GPRS.
is this your problem
http://www.expansys.com/forumthread.asp?code=106055&thread=48&man=O2
I was having the same problem you were having. I configured and got the GPRS and mms working and now all of the sudden the dial into ras using cellular gsm works ? Go figure

Let me furnish the detailed setting, assuming T-Mobile USA (adjust it accordingly if your service provider is a different one.)
Start | Settings | Connections tabb | Connections
... to The Internet ... [New ...]
General tab: [CSD Dial-up ISP Conn]
Modem tab: New ...
Name: [ISP Modem Conn]
Modem: [Cellular Line]
Baud rate: [19200] (you can leave this default alone but 9600 is high enough)
Leave Advanced ... settings alone
Country code: [1]
Area code: [425] (my default, leave it alone)
Phone Number: [4257861000]
Finish
Leave Proxy Settings alone
For free ISP's, see FAQ
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/portal.php?device=ppcpe
Back at the Connections page:
Dialing Locations tab:
Locations: [Home]
Click on Dialing Patterns ...
Put [G][G][G] as instructed by jcabuslay above. This step is critically important and where I was stuck. T-Moble tier 2 tech guy got me over the hump (first 2 tier 2's didn't really know how; it took 3 tier 2's to get it right!). Note T-Mobile US uses plain 10 digit dialing plan for US domestic long distance (optionally preceded with a 1 works too) and G fits that.
Click on Connect to connect. Or start to browse the internet and the connection is made on demand.
The first time connecting, you are promted for username and password, which are saved (but you can't get to it to see or change them; you can only delete the whole setting and recreate it in case you needed to change username or password).
I create a Work CSD setting for dialing up to work modem pool similarly. I use
http://www.mochasoft.dk/f_download2.html
for access to my UNIX account at work over the Work CSD setting.
Chances are that the LAN you dial up to at work is connected to Internet so you can avoid the hastle of finding a free ISP.
CSD connection comes handy since by and large, when you are not at work is when you need to make the connection, i.e. nights and weekends, when T-Mobile US is free - you get free data / Internet connection.
When the issue of making XDA your Internet gateway is resolved, this CSD connection would allow your laptop to have Internet on the go, see thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6378
If you can get your XDA to behave as a wireless modem, you can create similar CDS settings on your laptop.
Have fun!
i'm trying to make an ATD call to conenct to a remote unit in order to make a CSD connection. However i get a NOCARRIER error. I called the network poeple and they tell me i need to select GPRS or CSD before doing an ATD.
Would someone agree with that ?? How would i do so ? (guessing its an AT command)
I am using a Treo 750v and when I try to setup a CSD dial-up connection I can't find the settings for: "Baud rate: [19200] (you can leave this default alone but 9600 is high enough)" anywhere.
I can select Modem: "Cellular Line" but no other sub-settings. Any idea?
Thanks!

Using WModem for wireless modem on Vario II

I'm trying to get my Vario II to act as a modem to my laptop using the phone's 3G connection.
I eventually located the "generic modem" driver files to permit the phone to act as a modem to my laptop but I don't know what to do next. I've installed the driver and Windows (XP) reports that the generic modem is installed and working OK.
The downloaded files also included a program called "HTC USB Modem" and when I run this I am asked for a Username and password - and I haven't a clue what I should enter since I don't normally have to enter anything on my phone to access 3G.
Can anyone tell me how to proceed? Or tell me another way to get my phone to act as a modem to my laptop?
Cheers.
Bobby
i have the same problem, have you solve the problem ?
francesco
3G access thru PDA
u could try this...
Number: *99#
Username: your 3G access username (some telcos do not use it so leave it blank)
Password: Your 3G access password (some telcos do not use it so leave it blank)
remember to set your access point on your wireless modem before connecting.
cheers.

That last bit threw me Leo. What exactly to you mean by this?
Your network requires you to connect to an access point. If your device came from the network it was already set up to do so. As you need to manually enter the access point (or APN) and any user/password details, you need to google for your networks GPRS Settings.
For example with Orange, their APN = orangeinternet
(with no username or password.)
@bobbyelliot
I notice you are using T-mobile Uk
Their GPRS settings are:

Thanks for these details Mike but I still can't configure my Vario II to work as wireless modem to my laptop.
When I create a new Dial-Up Networking connection (I have to do that, right?), it doesn't ask for any of this information (except the ID and password) but does ask for a telephone number - which I haven't a clue about.
Can someone give me an idiot's guide to getting the Vario to work as a (3G) modem to my laptop?
Cheers.
Bobby
type *99# for tel no
user for user name
pass for password
this is what i put for t-mobile uk
Thanks. Tried this. Would only begin to work with GPRS (not 3G). But still failed with GPRS, reporting "Please end data call first." (on my PPC). I messed about with various permutations of start/stop wireless modem etc. but I didn't manage to get a connection. Help!

Before you dial you need to untick the usb connection in the active sync. Otherwise it thinks you want to do that instead. Have you tried that?

Open the comm manager and disable the data option (a little PDA with two arrows) then open the modem and select start. Now when it is plugged into the USB cable the PC will not recognise it as a PDA but as a modem.
Then configure a dial up connection with the options described above and it should connect OK. If not call 150 and they will talk you through it in a couple of minutes.

Bobby,
Let's try and get this working for you. I assume that you are on a T-mobile Web & Walk package and want to use the Vario II as a modem for the laptop to allow a data connection via your T-mobile 3G and GPRS access? If this is so then here goes:
- Configuring WModem on Vario II - Go to Programs and select the WModem option. select Menu - APN Settings. Ensure 'Preset GPRS connections' is ticked and in the APN box enter 'general.t-mobile.uk' then click Done.
- Modem configuring - you seem already to have done this as you have installed the drivers and say it is working - that means you also know how to start the "wireless modem" function on the Vario II in programs.
- Forget about the HTC USB Modem software - just create a new Windows XP 'connection'. I found that this software just added a level of complexity and it meant that you had to enter settings (usernames and password) manually each time.
- Create a Windows Connection on the laptop/PC:
- go to 'show all connections' then click 'create a new connection' (or follow the new connection wizard if this view is what you use).
- Select 'Connect to the Internet', then 'Set up my connection manually' then 'connect using a dial-up modem' then in the ISP Name box that comes next enter something of use like 'Vario II (T-Mob) Connection'
- In phone number enter *99#
- In username enter 'general.t-mobile.uk'
- In the password fields enter 'one2one'
- Consider unticking the bottom 2 options for default and allow all users...
- Save all the settings so far and close the wizard and dismiss the dial-up that appears.
- Change Dial-up Settings - You have created a Vario II dial-up for use by the laptop but you need to ensure that the dial-up uses the Vario II 'HTC USB Modem' and not the built-in laptop/PC modem:- Start WModem - with the Vario docked or USB connected (and activesync running OK) start the WModem (from programs) by selecting Menu - Start. This should stop activesync automatically and then your laptop/PC should see the HTC USB Modem (the Vario II with the WModem running).​- On the laptop/PC go into your available connections and right-mouse select properties on the new Vario II connection. In the first (general) tab under 'Connect Using' select/tick the entry for the Vario II modem that should read 'Modem - HTC USB Modem (COM#)' - where COM# is the com port automatically set by the laptop/PC. Check the phone number. Make sure that any other modem is unticked.​That should be about it and all should now work! To use the connection just set-up turn off your wireless network or unplug the network cable, then connect the Vario II with the USB lead, then start WModem (the program and menu-start!) on the Vario II, then on the laptop just double-click the connection that you created. Note that the laptop/PC will display the data connection established to the Vario II not your 3G/GPRS connection speed. I changed the settings on my Vario II USB Modem to increase the maximum speed of the connection (to the modem only) to 921600bps and also checked the Hardware features were all ticked.
Hope this helps - let me know if you have a problema and I'd be glad to help more. The connection works seemlessly on my laptop and basic surfing and e-mail is really quite fast - way quicker than a 56k dial-up that we all used to have!
Regards
Tony, you beat me to it!
Good description on how to setup wmodem.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You must have from your network provider: the internet access point name, your user name and password.
Download and unzip the attached file in a folder on your desktop
1- Disconnect the device from your desktop
2- On the ActiveSync icon on your desktop, open "Connection Settings". Uncheck "Allow USB Connection".
3- On your device: Go to "Beam" (in Settings/Connections), and uncheck "Receive all Incoming beams".
4- Then in Programs, click on "Wireless Modem". With the Connection type on USB, click on "Start".
5- Now, connect your device to the desktop. The "Found New Hardware Wizard" starts on your desktop. Click "Install from a specific location", then "Don’t search. I will choose…", then click on "Modems", and "Have Disk…" and go to the folder where you unzipped the attached file.
The HTC USB Modem will be shown in the compatible hardware: click to install. Continue if you receive the alert of the software not passing the Windows XP compatibility test (Continue anyway). Finish.
6- Now, in Control Panel of your desktop, open "Phone and Modem Options". Select the "HTC USB Modem" and click on "Properties". In the "Advanced" tab type for "Extra initialization commands":
AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”xxx”,””,0,0
where xxx is your internet access point.
Click Ok to finish.
7- On your device (always open in the Wireless Modem program), click on Tools/Options. Check the Preset GPRS connections and write in the APN, your network provider internet access point.
8- Finally, on your desktop, go to "Network Connections" and click "Create a new connection". Choose "Connect to the internet", then "Set up my connection manually". Click "Connect using a dial-up modem", then give a name to your ISP. In phone number type *99#. Get username and password from your network provider.
Better keep a shortcut of this connection on your desktop for quick access.
Each time you want to use your device as a modem:
Disconnect your device
Disable ActiveSync from your desktop by unchecking the “Allow USB connection”
Open Wireless Modem on your device and push on Start (with the Connection Type on USB)
Connect your device, then dial from your desktop using the shortcut you created
PS: Remember to enable ActiveSync once you’ve finished.
managed to find the USB driver/file so i attached
sorry was too lazy to reply as I really can't remember the whole wireless modem ****...
moved on to wm6 now, internet sharing is a breeze.
T-Mobile Charges for Vario use as modem
Hi,
I set up the Vario II as described above and it worked fine. What I don't understand is why T-Mobile should charge more (£7 per month extra, or thereabouts) simply because a laptop is included in the system. Surely, provided you don't go over your limit for W&W (1 Gig) then why should they worry?
Am I likely to be charged extra, simply for accessing what I can already access from my Vario ii, but using a laptop as the "front-end"?
Cheers,
Ken

if your using a updated rom you dont have the option of a WModem do you?

Has anyone got the wireless modem on Vario II (TyTN) to work on laptop?

I'm trying to get my Vario II to act as a wireless modem to my laptop.
I've downloaded and installed generic modem driver for my laptop, initiated the WModem program on the Vario - and Windows (XP) does detect the modem. In fact, Device Manager correctly reports a "HTC USB Modem" as present and correct.
I've also tried to create a DUN setting for this configuration but I'm not sure what setting to use. For example, do I need a username and password and, if so, what are these? Or do I need to set an actual telephone number to dial out?
Any help appreciated. I really need a connection between my laptop and Vario before I go on business next week (to somewhere without wi-fi but with 3G).
Cheers.

you will need to get the userid and password from your telco for GPRS conection settings thru PPC from laptop.
WM6 internet sharing does not require this
Yes, I have used the UK Vario II as a wireless modem successfully. You use the same settings in the modem as you use for GPRS and it works fine.

Bluetooth
I am trying to use another phone as a modem. The other phone is a Nokia 6120c which has no Infrared.
According to the instructions above I need infrared - is there anyway to do it via blue tooth?
I have got as far as creating a bluetooth connection between the 2; however the user/one2one/*99# settings don't seem to work.
Any advice would be welcomed.....

"Dial Up" to home modem to use internet

I have configured a sever at home to listen for dial up connections on a dedicated land line.
Can I use this to dial up with my Kaiser? I have used the following procedure to set up a connection...
- Start
- Settings
- Connections tab
- Connections
- Add new modem connection
(I am given the option to select a modem, either Bluetooth, Cellular Line, Cellular line (GPRS, 3G) or Hayes Compatible on COM1:, have tried with "Cellular Line" and "Hayes Compatible on COM1:")
- Enter my phone number
- Enter user name and password
I have used the following procedure to test it...
- Tap and hold the new connection and select connect.
On doing this I receive a dialog as follows...
"Cannot Connect
Dialed: 0117 blahblablah
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again"
When using the "Cellular Line" it goes through the "Connecting..." dialog a couple of times and fails with the above message. When using the "Hayes Compatible on COM1:" it brings the error up almost immediately.
I am using Orange in the UK
Kaiser / Tytn II
Radio = 1.65.16.25
Rom = Laurentius 9 or 10 or something
Is this possibly to do with the "CSD Line Type" configuration in which you can specify "Data rate" and "Connection element"? If do, does anyone know what these should be set to?
Is this just because Orange don't allow this type of traffic?
Is this because the modem part of the phone is FUBAR?
Your opinions and experience would be greatly appreciated.
James
not sure if its the same but
i had a pre gprs phone which
supported internet over normal cell
and it turned out that it could not
connect to a normal modem subscription
it required a special modem connection
at the network which was pretty pricy
so maybe it simply cant connect to a normal modem
Can anyone confirm this?
I find it hard to understand why a device that can be used as a USB or bluetooth modem for a laptop can't communicate with a normal modem.
Can you name the protocols or the standard that it does use?
ahem - bump - (sorry)
Most cell phone providers do not allow data connection over modem unless it is their own (dial up / in) Gateway - last time I used Orange in the UK, they were no exception. Only voice calls will be routed properly and data connections pretty fast disconnected, resulting in an error report similar to the one you got.
To verify if your provider supports data connection to other non-Orange phone numbers, you should call customer care.
