Cables FAQ
What cables are used for Nokia phones ?
Nokia phone can support three protocols of transmission over cable:
- M2BUS (called often simply MBUS) - 9600,N,...
- FBUS - 115200
- AT mode - 19600
You cable can support each of them...and phone must be compatible with it
(for example, CAN'T use DLR-3 with phone, which show "headset connected"
after connecting it)...
Schematics
Simple M2BUS (only) cable:
Note:
- 74HC04 must be in HC version
- Dioda Zenera 3,2 V it required for phones different than 21xx, 3110
FBUS cable:
Switch for M2BUS/FBUS for cable above:
Cable for AT mode is unavailable here, because it needs programmed chip
and I don't know, what programm should be inside...
To make FBUS/MBUS cable you have to connect:
- FBUS - GND, TX and RX
- M2BUS - MBUS and GND

FIXME: MBUS too ?
Can I use DLR-3 cable with my phone ?
See post from gnokii maillist:
The dlr-3 CAN'T work with the older phones. this is because the
converter in the cable is powered by the phone. this is done by the
phone by raising the !mic-gnd! pin to vcc. if the cable doesn't
repond on the mbus after 1 second, the power is dropped. a older
phone doesn't do this, so the converter is unpowered.
To decide if a phone needs a dau-9 (the old one, powered by pc) or
the new one (dlr-3) simply connect a dlr-3 to the phone. if the
phone says "headset connected" it isn't capable of using a dlr-3
and you have to change to a dau-9.
