How to connect Internet using Reliance / Tata Indicom FWP |
|
|
There are many of us
who find it difficult to connect to the internet to their Reliance ISP
using Reliance Fixed Wireless Telephone (FWP). A few months
back I was also stuck in a similar problem but I can now easily connect
using my Reliance Fixed Wireless Telephone. Several members have also
been benefited using tips from mine and a lot of them requested me to
publish a step by step guide to communicate internet using their
Reliance Telephone. This made me enthusiastic to write this material.
This is a complete guide for Reliance but can also be a guide for Tata Indicom FWP devices also. I used a Reliance FWP with LG
LSP 340E base phone set.
Step 1
Connect your telephone to the ttyS1 port. ttyS1 is the same port as
COM2 port (we use the term COM2 in Windows). If you use COM1 port then
replace all ttyS1 (where you will find in this guide) with ttyS0.
[ COM(x)=ttyS(x-1) ]
Before proceed, you should check that you have fixed the Baud Rate to 115200 in your hand set.
Step 2
If you are able to communicate internet through Windows then there is
no problem with it you can proceed to the next step or if there is a
need to test your modem, you should produce the following command as
root.
[root@localhost user]# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
ttyS0: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 2400 baud, next try: 9600 baud
ttyS0: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try: 115200 baud
ttyS0: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up.
ttyS1: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 2400 baud, next try: 9600 baud
ttyS1: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- OK
ttyS1: ATQ0 V1 E1 Z -- OK
ttyS1: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 -- OK
ttyS1: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 -- OK
ttyS1: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 -- OK
ttyS1: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 -- OK
ttyS1: Modem Identifier: ATI -- 115200
ttyS1: Max speed is 115200; that should be safe.
ttyS1: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 -- OK
Port Scan: S3 S4 S5 S6 S7
Found a modem on /dev/ttyS1.
Modem configuration written to /etc/wvdial.conf.
ttyS1: Speed 115200; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0"
If everything is alright you should get similar result. A modem
configuration is also be written to \'/etc/wvdial.conf\' with this but
as it is not accurate with our need we will slightly change according
to our need.
Note : It may happen that you have to provide the command in three/four
times to communicate. So don\'t give up unless you have tried the
command for three four times. In this time you must be communicated. If
not please check your connection.
Now you should edit the file as follows,
Remove three leading `#' symbols from Phone, Username and Password fields.
Put the phone no, in the Phone Field (#777 for reliance) and provide the appropriate username (area code+phone no for reliance) and password (same as username)
Erase the Init2 string value, and put AT+CRM=1 in the init2 field.
Add a line Stupid Mode = 1 at the end of the file.
Save the file /etc/wvdial.conf
Step 3
Do not configure the KPPP unless you understand what you are doing. If
you write a configuration file yourself, it is much easier to find the
problem in future. I am configuring the file by editing it. If you
still want to use KPPP you are encouraged to do it using these
parameters. Advanced Connection Settings --> Extra Settings string
value and put it as the init2 string value]
Step 4
Now you are almost at the last stage to connect to internet. Give the following command as root.
[root@localhost user]# wvdial
(If you see that you access is denied then give access to the file /etc/wvdial.conf to execute the command using chmod.)
[root@localhost user]# chmod a+x /etc/wvdial.conf
and after that you give the following command again
[root@localhost user]# wvdial
You may not be connected at the first time you have given the command.
You may repeat three four times to connect but you will succeed at
last. When you will get the connection, you can see the IP Addresses of
your Primary and Secondary DNS servers. Note it down. Now disconnect,
or you may test some pings and see what happens. You have to disconnect
using Ctrl+C.
Edit the file /etc/wvdial.confusing your favourite editor. Erase the
lines which were written by your computer at the previous step. Write
down the following codes there.
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem=/dev/ttyS1 //Set it according to your serial port
Baud=115200
Dial Command = ATDT //Add this line
init1=ATZ
init2=AT+CRM=1 //Edit this line
Flow Control= Hardware (CRTSCTS) //Add this line
Username = YourUserName //Edit this line
Password = YourPassword //Edit this line
Phone =
#777
//Edit this line
Stupid Mode = 1 //Add this line
Save the file and exit from the editor.
[HINT : If you are unsure about the Init2 string value, you should log on to Windows and note down the Modem --> Advanced
Connection Settings --> Extra Settings string value and put it as
the init2 string value]
Step 4
Now you are almost at the last stage to connect to internet. Give the following command as root.
[root@localhost user]# wvdial
(If you see that you access is denied then give access to the file /etc/wvdial.conf to execute the command using chmod.)
[root@localhost user]# chmod a+x /etc/wvdial.conf
and after that you give the following command again
[root@localhost user]# wvdial
You may not be connected at the first time you have given the command.
You may repeat three four times to connect but you will succeed at
last. When you will get the connection, you can see the IP Addresses of
your Primary and Secondary DNS servers. Note it down. Now disconnect,
or you may test some pings and see what happens. You have to disconnect
using Ctrl+C.
Step 5
Edit the tile '/etc/resolv.conf' file with your favourite editor and
write down the IP Addresses you have obtained followed by the word
nameserver.
nameserver [IP Address of Primary DNS Server]
nameserver [IP Address of Secondary DNS Server]
You have finished all your job and now ease back on your chair and give the command,
[root@localhost user]# wvdial
Always remember that you have to be root to use the above command. When
you will see IP addresses of your Primary and Secondary DNS Servers,
you have been connected to internt.
Remember to disconnect using Ctrl+C
