The connection
Parameter -- Specifying the Connection Type between the PC and the
Mobile Phone
The
connection parameter
specifies the type of the connection between the PC and the mobile
phone.
AT Command Mode
If
the AT command mode is used, no matter how the mobile phone is
connected to the PC, the value of the connection
parameter should be serial in Gnokii's configuration file:
model
= AT connection = serial
Note
that the settings mentioned below are for non-AT command mode.
Serial Connection
(RS-232 Connection)
If
the mobile phone is connected to the PC via a serial port (RS-232
port), assign the value serial
to the connection
parameter in Gnokii's configuration file:
connection
= serial
If
the serial cable used to connect the mobile phone and the PC is
Nokia's DLR-3 or DLR-3P, specify dlr3p
as the value of the connection
parameter:
connection
= dlr3p
If
your mobile phone is Nokia 6210, Nokia 6250 or Nokia 7110 and the
serial cable is Nokia's DAU-9P, specifying dau9p
as the value of the connection
parameter will allow Gnokii to initialize faster:
connection
= dau9p
Bluetooth / RFCOMM
Connection
If
the mobile phone is connected to the PC via Bluetooth, assign the
value bluetooth to the
connection parameter in Gnokii's configuration file:
connection
= bluetooth
Only
AT command mode can work with a RFCOMM connection. So, if you use a
RFCOMM connection between the mobile phone and the PC, the
value of the connection
parameter should be set to serial.
Infrared (IrDA)
Connection
If
the mobile phone is connected to the PC via infrared (IrDA) and
Gnokii's nk6100 driver is used to communicate with your mobile phone
(see "Mobile Phone Models
Supported by Gnokii" if you do not know which driver Gnokii
uses to communicate with your mobile phone), specify the value
infrared to the connection parameter in Gnokii's configuration file:
connection
= infrared
If
the nk6100 driver is not used, use the value irda:
connection
= irda
USB
Connection
If
the mobile phone is connected to the PC via a USB connection and the
cable used is DKU-2 from Nokia, you have two choices. The better
choice is to use libusb:
connection
= dku2libusb
If
the Linux kernel supports the DKU-2 cable, you can use the second
choice as shown below. More details are available in the readme file
README-DKU2 located in the
gnokii-version/Docs
directory of the extracted source tarball, where version
is the version of Gnokii you are using. (e.g. gnokii-0.6.14/Docs
if the version of Gnokii is 0.6.14.)
connection
= dku2
If
the mobile phone is connected to the PC via a DKU-5 USB cable from
Nokia, you should specify dku5
to the connection
parameter in Gnokii's configuration file, like this:
connection
= dku5
Some
information about Linux's support of the USB cables for connecting
mobile phones is available at
http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/Cables.
