Haier CDMA bundling C700 Smart on Apple Mac OS X

In previous writings I have informed the use of bundling phones with CDMA Haier C700 Smart on as a modem in the Windows operating system. For this time I tried to write about this C700 Haier phones, namely its use as a modem on MacOS X, given in the sales package also provided drivers for Apple's operating system was fabricated.

For his own devices other than mobile phones and Haier C700 CDMA Smart card with the package 3 months free internet, I use the Apple MacBook Pro with MacOS X version 10.5.8 (same as I use to make a review of the Nokia E61 phone modem and Apple's MacOS X).

The first step before you enjoy the Internet with a modem connection Haier C700 mobile phone is to install the device driver itself. Here I use the driver comes from Haier C700, modem driver install process is relatively easy because we will be guided by the 'Apple' is, we just follow these guidelines and enter your username and password MacOS X (if we enable these security functions in MacOS us ).

After the modem driver installation process is successful, we enter the next stage is to setup a connection through the Network Preferences to create a new connection (do not forget to connect the phone to the C700 Haier Apple MacBook Pro with usb cable is the default). When we open the Network Preferences, then the modem automatically Haier C700 phone will be detected by the MacOS, press Ok to activate it.

Next we create a new connection by pressing the plus sign (+) in column Network (do not forget to open the lock to make new connections). We choose to interface CDMA which has been detected and we enable this, while for the Service Name of our free content as we want, save it by pressing Create.

In the next panel we fill Telephone Number with # 777, and for our username and password with smart content. At this point we can directly dial-up process by pressing the Connect after pressing the Apply to save the settings we have made it, while to add this connection shortcut on the Menu bar, we simply check the Show modem status in menu bar.

If the connection is successful then the Network panel will display information about these connections, such as the duration of connection time, IP address, and upload traffic (sent) and downloaded (received)

.

As usual, to complete the test Haier C700 phone modem on MacOS X, I do tests with Speedtest.net. From the tests I get download speeds of 70 Kbps and 70 Kbps upload.

Thus brief information about the use of Haier C700 as a modem with Smart card on the Apple MacOS X. may be useful.

Optimizing Modem Connection with NETEagle

To add a collection of software to optimize your internet connection around here are ThemeSoft artificial NETEagle software. Itself NETEagle main function is to optimize your modem connection, according to the developers, was able to boost NETEagle modem capability up to 200%. For the price problem, this software we can use for free, because it is NETEagle freeware applications, so we are free to use it.

Unlike the software I have previously informed, such as Lite Internet Cell Boost, Internet Speed Booster, Speed TCP, and other software tricks internet connection, using software NETEagle are simpler, because it is sufficient to click 3 times over. What should we do here is to determine the operating system (OS) that we use and the types of connections.

After that we stayed executed by pressing OK, then wait NETEagle do optimization based on the data we have had input. When finished we will be asked to restart Windows to complete the optimization process.

To see the difference, I compare the results based on tests with Speedtest.net (NETEagle before I run, I've done tests with Speedtest.net with Haier C700 phone modem and Smart cards). From the test results seen an increase in download speed, ie from 50 Kbps to 100 Kbps. As for uploading a decline of 10 Kbps, ie from 60 Kbps to 50 Kbps.

So my friends NETEagle brief information, to download this software please see the Software info or here. Good luck and I hope useful.

OpenSUSE: Setting Motorola W362 as a Modem

Motorola W362 is a phone that can be used as a modem. This phone uses CDMA technology in the 800MHz frequency. You can see the detail specifications of this phone in the Motorola site.

In this paper, I will explain some steps to set the phone so that the W362 can be used as a modem. At this writing, I'm using OpenSUSE 11.1. Simply, let us begin our experiment ..

In Motorola W362

To be able to use the modem feature on this phone, we need to regulate access to the phone as a USB modem to access memory not Card. The following steps are performed on Mototola W362 phone. Here are the steps:

1. Going to the Settings menu> Connection> USB Settings
2. In the Default Connection option, select Data Connection
3. Done. Now we live to do the configuration on our computers.

In Computer

After the configuration of the phone, now we continue on the configuration of the computer. The core of this process is to introduce this W362 phone as a USB modem. Here are the steps:

1. Connect the W362 mobile phone with a computer using the included USB cable
2. Open Terminal in the Application Browser. This terminal is located in the Group System.
3. In Terminal, type the following command:
view source
print?
1.lsusb

This command allows you to display a list of connected USB devices in our computers. Here are the results:
view source
print?
1.Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
2.Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
3.Bus 003 Device 004: ID 22b8: 2cf2 Motorola PCS
4.Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
5.Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0483:2016 SGS Thomson Microelectronics Fingerprint Reader
6.Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
7.Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

The above list is a list of USB in my computer. The contents of this list may be different to that shown on your computer. In the third row we get what we want to device configuration, namely Motorola PCS 22b8 vendor number and product number 2cf2.
Furthermore, still in Terminal, type the following command:
view source
print?
1.sudo modprobe usbserial vendor = 0x22b8 product = 0x2cf2

Command on the intention to add modules into the kernel usbserial with vendor numbers and product numbers that we get from the previous command. If you find a response like below:
view source
print?
1.bash: modprobe: command not found

modprobe is not in the execution PATH. To find a location where modprobe, we can use the following command:
view source
print?
1.whereis modprobe

This command will show the location where the modprobe. The following more or less the result:
view source
print?
1.modprobe: / sbin / modprobe / etc / modprobe.conf / etc / modprobe.d / usr/share/man/man8/modprobe.8.gz

From the results it can be concluded that modprobe is located in the directory / sbin. So to execute modprobe program, we use the following command:
view source
print?
1.sudo / sbin / modprobe usbserial vendor = 0x22b8 product = 0x2cf2
4. Furthermore, to check whether the phone has been successfully recognized by the kernel, we use the command dmesg. Type in the terminal as follows:
view source
print?
1.sudo dmesg

The results showed that the phone successfully identified are as follows:
view source
print?
1 ....
2.usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
3.usb 3-1: configuration # 1 chosen from 1 choice
4.usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor = 22b8, idProduct = 2cf2
5.usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr = 1, Product = 2, SerialNumber = 0
6.usb 3-1: Product: Motorola W362
7.usb 3-1: Manufacturer: Motorola, Incorporated
8 ....
5. If you are confused to find the device because dmesg messages are too much, you can directly use the following ways to detect it. We will use wvdial to dial-up ISP. In OpenSUSE 11.1, the program is usually already installed wvdial. First of all we will do the initial configuration for wvdial.Pada Terminal, type the following command:
view source
print?
1.sudo wvdialconf / etc / wvdial.conf

Wvdialconf command will detect the existing modem and write configuration in / etc / wvdial.conf. Here are the responses given:
view source
print?
01.Modem Port Scan <* 1>: S0 S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 S6 S7
02.WvModem <* 1>: Can not get information for serial port.
03.ttyUSB0 <* 1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 - OK
04.ttyUSB0 <* 1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 Z - OK
05.ttyUSB0 <* 1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0 = 0 - OK
06.ttyUSB0 <* 1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0 = 0 & C1 - OK
07.ttyUSB0 <* 1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0 = 0 & C1 & D2 - OK
08.ttyUSB0 <* 1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0 = 0 & C1 & D2 + FCLASS = 0 - OK
09.ttyUSB0 <* 1>: Modem Identifier: ATI - Manufacturer: QUALCOMM Incorporated
10.ttyUSB0 <* 1>: Speed 9600: AT - OK
11.ttyUSB0 <* 1>: Max speed is 9600; that should be safe.
12.ttyUSB0 <* 1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0 = 0 & C1 & D2 + FCLASS = 0 - OK
13.WvModem <* 1>: Can not get information for serial port.
14.ttyUSB1 <* 1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 - failed with 2400 baud, next try: 9600 baud
15.ttyUSB1 <* 1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 - failed with 9600 baud, next try: 9600 baud
16.ttyUSB1 <* 1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 - and failed too at 115200, giving up.
17.ttyUSB0: Speed 9600; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0 = 0 & C1 & D2 + FCLASS = 0"

From the response above the bold, we know that the W362 mobile phone was detected as a modem.
6. The next step is to enter our ISP details into wvdial.conf configuration file. At the terminal, we type the following command:
view source
print?
1.sudo gedit / etc / wvdial.conf

In the above command, we use gedit to open and modify the file wvdial.conf.
7. In gedit, add detail in accordance with the ISP that we use. In this case, I use Mobi, following more or less the content of my wvdial.conf:
view source
print?
01. [Dialer Defaults]
02.Init1 = ATZ
03.Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0 = 0 & C1 & D2 + FCLASS = 0
04. 'Dial Command = ATDT
05. 'Ask Password = 0
06.Modem Type = Analog Modem
07.Stupid Mode = yes
08.Baud = 9600
09.New PPPD = yes
10. ' Idle Seconds = 300
11.Modem = / dev/ttyUSB0
12. 'CompuServe = 0
13.ISDN = 0
14.Phone = # 777
15.Username = m8
16.Password = m8

The third bold line is the detail that I add the ISP. Keep the file.
8. Next, we will add the IP address of our ISP's DNS in the resolv.conf file. This file is located in the directory / etc. In Terminal, type the following:
view source
print?
1.sudo gedit / etc / resolv.conf

Furthermore, in gedit, we add the IP address from our ISP's DNS.
If we do not know, we can use a variety of ways to get it. One easy way is to use other operating systems like Windows. In Windows, use the same ISP (in my case using the Mobi) to do dial-up. Once successfully connected, the Windows Command Prompt type the command:
view source
print?
1.ifconfig / all

Then, find the address on the ppp control. Record the address. For more information how to get DNS addresses can be seen in the reference section at the end of this paper. Here's a sample resolv.conf file:
view source
print?
1.nameserver 10.88.77.6

Number is the address 10.88.77.6 DNS Mobi.
9. Finally we come to the step waiting for: to dial-up. In Terminal, type the following command:
view source
print?
1.sudo wvdial

Here is the response generated on my computer:
view source
print?
01 .--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
02 .--> Can not get information for serial port.
03 .--> Initializing modem.

34 .--> Connected ... Press Ctrl-C to disconnect
35 .--> pppd: [7f] [0b] 8 [06] [08] ([06] [08]

Bold lines indicate that we have successfully connected to the Internet.
10. Next to check, we can use the ifconfig or ping to one is an example situs.Berikut checking with ifconfig:
view source
print?
1.sudo / sbin / ifconfig

Produces the following response:
view source
print?
01 ....
02.ppp0 Link encap: Point-to-Point Protocol
03. inet addr: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx PtP: 10.21.9.13 Mask: 255,255,255,255

08. RX bytes: 2183882 (2.0 Mb) TX bytes: 836283 (816.6 Kb)
09 ....

Bold lines indicate that we've got computers IP from ISP (sorry, censored its IP address). Next, we try to check by using the ping to google.com.
view source
print?
1.ping google.com

If we get a response like the following:
view source
print?
1.PING google.com (74,125,127,100) 56 (84) bytes of data.
2.64 bytes from pz-in-f100.google.com (74,125,127,100): icmp_seq = 1 ttl = 50 time = 499 ms
3.64 bytes from pz-in-f100.google.com (74,125,127,100): icmp_seq = 2 ttl = 50 time = 496 ms
4.64 bytes from pz-in-f100.google.com (74,125,127,100): icmp_seq = 3 ttl = 50 time = 472 ms
5 ....

means we have successfully connected to the Internet. Hooray!

Sierra Wireless adds 2-in-1 HSPA+ AirCards to a lineup already fraught with action and danger

Sierra Wireless has just announced five new AirCard data cards and USB modems, including devices supporting HSPA+ frequencies. The AirCard 503, AirCard USB 308, and AirCard USB 309 all support peak download speeds of 21Mbps, with the former being a 2-in-1 PC card / ExpressCard device and the latter two being basically the same USB modem (except the first one supports 850MHz, 1900MHz, and 2100MHz frequencies, while AirCard USB 309 limits you to 900MHz and 2100MHz bands). If the raw excitement and glamor of HSPA+ speeds are more than you (or your budget) can handle, the company is also introducing a couple plain ol' HSPA cards with respectable peak downloads of 7.2Mbps and peak uploads of 5.76Mbps. The AirCard USB 301 supports 850MHz and 2100 MHz bands, while the AirCard USB 302 does its thing in the 900MHz and 2100MHz range. Scheduled to begin shipping in the fourth quarter of this year for prices to be announced. PR after the break.

How To Use Your GPRS Cell Phone As A Modem

By Dean Sherwin

I would say that roughly 90% of my work is published online and all my work must be submitted by electronic means. Such is the way for millions of other freelancers, businessmen, consultants and footloose operators the world over. The internet has revolutionized how we work by making us available almost all of the time. This comes with a fatal flaw; the internet can fail.

Over the weekend, the modem provided by my ISP packed up. This is my first day being back to normal. However, I did manage to survive without my own internet connection. And no, I didn’t use someone else’s WiFi connection or scurry down to the local Starbucks. In this article I’m going to show you how to use your basic GPRS cell phone as a modem for your PC – and achieve fast speeds from it. I don’t mean a smart phone with 3G or anything of the sort – just any old cell phone from 2004 onwards.

The most basic way of doing this is to use the disc that came with your phone. My Samsung came with software for loading music and files as well as changing the phone’s settings. Look around on your phone’s software. See if you can find anything about ‘Connections’, ‘Network’, ‘Modem’ or ‘Communications’. If you do, there should be detailed instructions on how to use your cell phone as a modem. Mine was easy to set up, I just told it I lived in Ireland and it detected all of the necessary settings for me.

However, what if your phone didn’t come with a CD, or there was nothing on the CD about turning your cell phone into a modem?

First, connect your phone to your PC using the USB cable (if one didn’t come with the phone there are loads for sale on eBay for many different makes and models of phones for low prices). You can also connect it via Bluetooth, however this will cause the final download speeds to be slower. Your computer should recognize that your phone has been connected to it and begin to install the ‘Drivers’. When this has finished, open the start menu and select ‘Connect To’. At the bottom of the window which opens opt to ‘Create a new connection’. Then select ‘Create a Dial-Up Connection’.

The window shown below will be displayed. For the phone number enter in *99# (this is a kind of universal GPRS number that your carrier will redirect). This will tell your phone to access its GPRS function.

For the username and password you’ll have to do some research on the internet. These are easily found by simply Googling ‘GPRS Setting for [Network Name]‘ or ‘Wap Settings for [Network Name]‘. I am on a network called Meteor so we’ll use them as an example for this article.

Username: my

Password: WAP

One you have done this, finish creating the connection. Then, select the connection from the ‘Connect To’ menu. When it asks for the username and password, enter in the ones appropriate for your network. This will then connect you to the internet.

Because mobile phone technology is at its height, you’ll get fast speeds, especially if you’re in the US. I had assumed that it would be slow like GPRS mobile internet it but this is only slow because of the phone’s browser’s limitations. Not the networks.

I easily checked e-mails, surfed the web and submitted work. Don’t get me wrong, you won’t exactly be streaming HD video but it can be handy when your normal internet goes down. I found that loading complex pages such as makeuseof.com took around 10-12 seconds where as simple pages such as my blog or Twitter only took a couple of seconds.

As with all my articles that require the use of GPRS, I advise you to see if your network has unlimited access for a set fee or capped costs per day like mine does as overusing GPRS can be costly.

Have you done this with your phone? If so, what method does your phone use to connect to the net?

DENSO to use Airbiquity’s in-band modem for telematics

Airbiquity has signed a global licensing agreement with DENSO. Under the agreement, Airbiquity will license its aqLink in-band software modem to DENSO to support a North American automotive telematics program.

NOTE: DENSO supplies the telematics box for TOYOTA’S SAFETY CONNECT service in North America. (Source: M2M)

Airbiquity’s aqLink technology offers DENSO a solution that allows them to use the voice channel to transmit data for critical and time-sensitive information. The modem also transmits data without unpredictable delays, regardless of the time of day or of wireless data network congestions often observed in large metropolitan areas.
