Use a PPC Phone as a modem with another WM5 PPC

9:48 pm in How To by buzz_lightyear

Suppose you have a PDA like the HP iPAQ 2490/2790/214 and you want to use you HTC as a dialup modem (assuming your HTC does support DUN profile. If it doesn’t then you can install it using a cab file, but more on that later). In this example I will assume we are using an iPAQ with the WidcommSo here are the steps you need to follow:

iPAQ

  • Start – Settings – Connections tab – Connections – Manage existing connections
  • Create a new modem connection
  • Enter a name for the connection: GPRS (or anything else you like)
  • Select a modem: Bluetooth dialup modem
  • Tap Next
  • Dialup number: *99#
  • Tap Next
  • TapAdvanced
  • Set the connection speed to 115200 and make sure that Wait for dialtone is not checked
  • In the extra initialization commands box write: +CGDCONT=1,"IP","YourProvidersAPN"
  • Tap OK and then Finish.

If at any point the connection requests a user, password and domain (and those have not been provided by your mobile company) then use: user, pass, and leave domain blank.

PPC Phone

  • Enable bluetooth on the phone device and make it discoverable.
  • Enable bluetooth on the iPAQ as well.
  • On the iPAQ, go to Start – Settings – Connections – Bluetooth
  • Tap on Bluetooth Manager
  • Tap on New, select Connect to the internet via a phone and then tap Next.
  • Select unknown, phone not listed and tap Next.
  • Tap Next at the prompt to turn on the bluetooth on the phone device.
  • Select the PPC Phone in the list of detected devices.
  • Use 0000 as a Passkey to connect to the phone and tap Next
  • On the phone device we allow the connection coming from the iPAQ and we enter the same passkey.
  • Check the box that says Use this phone as a default connection to the internet and from the list we select the GPRS connection we created earlier.
  • Tap Next and then Finish.
