Connecting Nokia 6230 to Ubuntu 7.10 and using it as a gprs/edge connection. 1
Firstly, let me apologize for not posting for a while, i was finishing up my semester examinations.
Okay let me get on with the post. Connecting Nokia 6230 to Ubuntu 7.10 .
Before you start make sure that the phone you are using has a working gprs connecting and you can browse using the mobile phone. After that is settled make sure that the you have settled all billing issues with your subscriber and you know how the billing is done. Then make sure you get you DKU-2 cable for the nokia 6230.
NB:I have used only DKU-2 and Nokia 6230 and ubuntu 7.10 so i can only vouch for these.
1. Connect the Nokia 6230 to the computer using your cable. After which you type this command.
“lsusb”
This displays all the usb connections that you have on the computer. The thing is that Linux has a USB-Serial connector so you don’t need any additional drivers for the phone. (Not like windows that you need a PC suite)
After typing the command you would see the mobile phone listed among the list of items connected to the usb ports.
