2. Internet Connection Using wvdial Via USB Data Cable

STEP 0:
a. Make sure that you are already able to surf with your handset (Nokia 6120 classic) first.
b. Make sure below settings for Nokia 6120 class
Nokia 6120 classic Menu->Settings->Phone Setting->Connection->USB->USB mode = PC Suite
Nokia 6120 classic Menu->Settings->Phone Settings->Connection->Packet data->Access point=NAME_OF_APN_OF_INTERNET_PROVIDER (in this case, we will use internet)
c. plug the Nokia 6120 classic USB cable into your laptop/PC USB port

STEP 1:
As root, create /etc/wvdial.conf file using wvdialconf command
[yunusf10@localhost etc]$ su -c ‘wvdialconf’
Password:
Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf’.

Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

ttyACM0<Info>: Speed 460800; init “ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0”
[yunusf10@localhost etc]$

STEP 2:
The contents of /etc/wvdial.conf file created by wvdialconf command may look like as follows

[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = USB Modem
; Phone = <Target Phone Number>
ISDN = 0
; Username = <Your Login Name>
Init1 = ATZ
; Password = <Your Password>
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 460800

STEP 3:
As root, edit /etc/wvdial.conf using your favourite text editor ( I use vi) so that the contents of /etc/wvdial.conf will look like as follows:

[yunusf10@localhost bluetooth]$ su -c ‘vi /etc/wvdial.conf’

;———-begin /etc/wvdial.conf————-
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”internet”
Username =”
Password = ”
Phone = *99#
Modem Type = USB Modem
ISDN = 0
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 460800
;———end /etc/wvdial.conf——————

Note that both Username and Password use two *single quote* characters.

STEP 4:
As root, execute wvdial command to make internet connection

[yunusf10@localhost etc]$ su -c ‘wvdial’
Password:
–> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
–> Cannot get information for serial port.
–> Initializing modem.

–> remote IP address 10.6.6.6
–> primary   DNS address 202.3.208.11
–> secondary DNS address 202.3.210.11

STEP 5:
As root, add values of values of primary DNS and secondary DNS address into /etc/resolv.conf file based on information obtained from STEP 4. The contents of the /etc/resolv.conf file may look like as follows:

—–begin /etc/resolv.conf——

nameserver 202.3.208.10
nameserver 202.3.210.10

—–end /etc/resolv.conf——-

STEP 6:
Now the internet connection is ready to be used. Press CTRL+C to disconnect the internet connection.

STEP 7:
To make internet connection,  repeat STEP 4 (and STEP 5).
To disconnect, press CTRL+C.
Note that NetworkManager will erase the DNS address(es) you store in /etc/resolv.conf. So, you may need to repeat STEP 5 to make internet connection.

For more information please see the manual for wvdial.conf and wvdialconf :
[yunusf10@localhost etc]$ man wvdialconf
[yunusf10@localhost etc]$ man wvdial.conf

3. Internet Connection Using wvdial Via Bluetooth

STEP 0 :
Make sure that you are able to browse the internet with your handset (Nokia 6120 classic) first.

STEP 1 :
Make sure below setting has been configured for Nokia 6120 classic.
Nokia 6120 classic Menu->Settings->Phone Settings->Connection->Packet data->Access point=NAME_OF_APN_OF_INTERNET_PROVIDER (in this case, it will be flash)

STEP 2 :
Turn on bluetooth of both Nokia 6120 classic and the laptop/PC.

STEP 3 :
Pair the Nokia 6120 classic with the laptop/PC.
a. Nokia 6120 Classic Menu->Settings->Connectivity->Bluetooth->Paired devices->Options->New paired device->LAPTOP_NAME_or_PC_NAME
b. enter passcode for Nokia 6120 Classic
c. enter passkey for your laptop/PC using the same passcode you entered into Nokia 6120 Classic

STEP 4 :
Inquire remote bluetooth device address (Nokia 6120 classic) and print the device name.

[yunusf10@localhost ~]$ hcitool scan
Scanning …
00:1D:98:B1:F4:28    n6120c.yunix
[yunusf10@localhost ~]$

STEP 5:
Find out the Channel Number used by DUN service (in this case, we found Channel: 4)

[yunusf10@localhost ~]$ sdptool search DUN
Inquiring …
Searching for DUN on 00:1D:98:B1:F4:28 …
Service Name: Dial-Up Networking
Service RecHandle: 0x1004b
Service Class ID List:
“Dialup Networking” (0x1103)
Protocol Descriptor List:
“L2CAP” (0x0100)
“RFCOMM” (0x0003)
Channel: 4
Language Base Attr List:
code_ISO639: 0x454e
encoding:    0x6a
base_offset: 0x100
Profile Descriptor List:
“Dialup Networking” (0x1103)
Version: 0x0100

STEP 6:
Based on information obtained from STEP 4 (Nokia 6120 classic bluetooth device address) and STEP 5 (channel number used by DUN service for Nokia 6120 classic), as root, edit the /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf using your favourite text editor (I use vi) so that the contents of /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf will look like as follows

[yunusf10@localhost ~]$ su -c ‘vi /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf’
#—–begin /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf—————–
rfcomm0 {
# Automatically bind the device at startup
bind yes;

# Bluetooth address of the device
device 00:1D:98:B1:F4:28;

# RFCOMM channel for the connection
channel 4;

# Description of the connection
comment “Bluetooth device:Nokia 6210 Classic as a modem”;
}
#—–end /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf—————–

STEP 7:
a. As root, bind the RFCOMM device to bluetooth device (Nokia 6120 classic) with specified channel number.
In this case, we bind 0 (the RFCOMM device) to 00:1D:98:B1:F4:28 (Nokia 6120 classic bluetooth address) using 4 (channel number).

[yunusf10@localhost bluetooth]$ su -c ‘rfcomm bind 0 00:1D:98:B1:F4:28 4’
Password:

b. Print information about configure RFCOMM devices using rfcomm command

[yunusf10@localhost bluetooth]$ rfcomm
rfcomm0: 00:1D:98:B1:F4:28 channel 4 clean

STEP 8:
As root, edit /etc/wvdial.conf using your favourite text editor so that the contents of /etc/wvdial.conf will look like as follows:

[yunusf10@localhost bluetooth]$ su -c ‘vi /etc/wvdial.conf’

;———-begin of /etc/wvdial.conf————-
[Dialer flash-bluetooth]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”flash”
Username =”
Password = ”
Phone = *99#
ISDN = 0
Modem = /dev/rfcomm0
Baud = 460800
;———end /etc/wvdial.conf——————

Note that both Username and Password use two *single quote* characters.

As you can see that the location of the modem device set to Modem=/dev/rfcomm0 (refer to STEP 7). If we use USB data cable, the location may be Modem=/dev/ttyACM0

STEP 9:
Find out the currently active network interfaces.

[yunusf10@localhost ~]$ ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1B:24:52:F3:BF
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:17

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
RX packets:40 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:40 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:4123 (4.0 KiB)  TX bytes:4123 (4.0 KiB)

STEP 10:
As root, shutdown the driver for currently active network interface(s) to avoid conflict. (DO NOT shutdown the driver for lo interface)

[yunusf10@localhost ~]$ su -c ‘ifdown eth0’
Password:

STEP 11:
As root, make internet connection by executing wvdial command

[yunusf10@localhost ~]$ su -c ‘wvdial flash-bluetooth’
Password:

–> remote IP address 10.6.6.6
–> primary   DNS address 202.3.208.10
–> secondary DNS address 202.3.210.10

STEP 12:
As root, add values of values of primary DNS and secondary DNS address into /etc/resolv.conf file based on information obtained from STEP 11. The contents of the /etc/resolv.conf file may look like as follows:

—–begin of /etc/resolv.conf——

nameserver 202.3.208.10
nameserver 202.3.210.10

—–end of /etc/resolv.conf——-

STEP 13:
Now the internet connection is ready. press CTRL+C to disconnect the internet connection.

STEP 14:
To make internet connection, repeat STEP 2, STEP 3, STEP 7.b., STEP 11 (and STEP 12).
To disconnect, press CTRL+C.
Note that NetworkManager will erase the DNS address(es) you store in /etc/resolv.conf. So, you may need to repeat STEP 12 to make internet connection.
