If you get the sources you need to create script
+configure. You do it by typing:
+
tfuj:~/gnokii-0.3.3pre5$ autoconf
+
+
If you get the sources from the tarball you don't need to do
+this - configure is already made for you. For quick install do simply:
+
tfuj:~/gnokii-0.3.3pre5$ ./configure
+tfuj:~/gnokii-0.3.3pre5$ make
+tfuj:~/gnokii-0.3.3pre5$ make install
+
+
+
But configure has some options. Except obvious
+parameters as --prefix which specifies a path to install GNOKII, you
+can specify one of the following:
+
+
+
--help
+
Shows you list of available options
+
+
--enable-debug
+
Turns on debugging. It's usefull especially for developers. But if you
+ find a bug in GNOKII, please compile the sources with debugging enabled and
+ send this output to the GNOKII mailing list. This is used by gnokii
+ program.
+
+
--enable-xdebug
+
The same as above but used by xgnokii.
+
+
--enable-rlpdebug
+
This option turns on debugging specific to the RLP stuff. Note, that it's
+ very important at the moment as this part of GNOKII is under the hardest
+ development.
+
+
--without-x
+
Don't include X Window system support - xgnokii.
+
+
--enable-security
+
Turns on some security functions:.... Use them with caution.
+
+
--enable-win32
+
Include MS Windows support. Yes, it really exists. ;-)
+
+
--with-model=MODEL, --with-port=PORT
+
Specify the model of the phone (eg. 6150) and the port it is connected to
+ (eg. /dev/ttyS1). These values can be overwritten with ones from the config
+ files.
+
When the configure succeed, it shows options GNOKII
+will be compiled with:
+
Host system: linux-gnulibc1
+ Gnokii version: 0.3.3_pre5
+ Xgnokii version: 20000613
+ Phone model: 6130
+ Serial port: /dev/ttyS1
+ X (GTK) support: no
+ Debug: yes
+ XDebug: no
+ RLPDebug: no
+ NLS: yes
+ Security: yes
+ Win32:
+ Prefix: /usr2
+
+
+
Now, the only thing left to do is just ro run:
+
tfuj:~/gnokii-0.3.3pre5$ make
+tfuj:~/gnokii-0.3.3pre5$ make install
+
+
+
Finally, you have GNOKII installed in your system. And now REAL
+FUN begins. :-)
+
+
How to install it from binaries ?
+
+
+
If you downloaded gnokii as a pre-built binary you should install
+it in the conventional manner for the package type in question.
+For example if you downloaded a .rpm file you can install it by
+running the following as root.
+
+
rpm -i gnokii-0.3.2-i386.rpm
+
+
If you are using a Debian based system, you can use dpackage
+to do the installation (FIXME - is this correct ?)
+
+
How to make connection with phone ?
+
+
+
There are three ways to make it:
+
+
+
connecting phone with computer using cable. All phones allow to make it
+(even 3210 - connector is inside). If you want to know more
+about creating your own cable, read cables faq.
+
using IrDa port in phone and computer. Notice, that your computer
+and phone must have it (only some series of Nokia phones has it - for example,
+6110, 6150)
+
connecting to phone special device called "dongle" (it has IrDa port)
+and making IrDa connection between it and phone. Current gnokii cas use
+Tekram IRmate 210 - see patches
+
+
+
How to configure gnokii ?
+
+
+
First it to use --with-model and --with-port options for
+configure script. But I do not recommend this. In my opinion these should be
+removed from configure. Second disadvantage is that you can't use it when
+you are installing a binary package.
+
+
So, will use better method :-).
+You should copy the gnokiirc
+file from the Docs/examples directory to your
+home directory and name it gnokiirc or copy it into /etc directory
+and name gnokiirc.
+
+
Using your favorite
+editor ensure that the settings are correct for your system,
+the sample file has details of the various options available. The most
+difficult problem could be discovering model of your phone - go into
+our firmware page
+and try to use codes written in column
+Firmware version code. If your phone will display something,
+see model number on the third line, look on the
+firmware page
+again (for it) and read phone model then.
+
+
Note that you will need read/write permissions on whatever
+serial port you specify in gnokiirc. You can now use gnokii
+and xgnokii.
+
+
Of course, you don't have to make any config, if you will use
+these config options. There are default:
+
+
Go into configuration of your IrDa port (the most often it's made in
+BIOS, sometimes using program provided by computer's producer):
+
+
+
+
Enable it
+
Setup the COM-Port on which it should work.
+Here are addresses:
+ ttyS0 (COM1): 3F8, IRQ: 4
+ ttyS1 (COM2): 2F8, IRQ: 3
+ ttyS2 (COM3): 3E8, IRQ: 4
+ ttyS3 (COM4): 2E8, IRQ: 3
+
+
+
+
+
+
Configure gnokii (see previous question)
+setting type of connection to
+infrared.
+
+
If you are using linux, put linux-irda off (you can't use gnokii over infrared and
+linux-irda at the same time - it means too, if you want use
+linux-irda you must close all gnokii-applications what
+use the infrared-port in moment).
+
+
+
+
How to configure gnokii driver for data connection ?
+
+
+
After installing and configuring gnokii you should make another group
+and allow mgnokiidev (it our virtual modem driver)
+to use it. For example (if you have installed gnokii
+into /usr/local):
+
+
Then connect your phone to your PC and then run gnokiid:
+
+
[ first console ]
+tfuj:/home/pawel/gnokii# ./gnokiid/gnokiid
+
+
+
If successful, you should see a message saying that mgnokiidev has been
+run to create /dev/gnokii. If you're using a 5110/6110 series phone
+you should hear a beep and see an "accessory connected" message on
+the phone. If you're using a 3810 series phone you won't see anything
+on the phones LCD.
+
+
Number 501808080 is an Internet access number for all Idea
+Centertel (Polish GSM operator) abonents. With these files the only thing to do
+is to run gnokiid and /usr/sbin/ppp-gnokii. Note that both:
+/usr/sbin/ppp-gnokii and /etc/ppp/ppp-gnokii must be
+executable files. At the moment you have to run ppp-gnokii as the
+superuser unless the simple user has a permission to write to a pty
+device. gnokiid must be run as the user belinging to gnokii
+group.
+
+
Then "pppd call demon-gnokii" should connect
+ ('tail -f /var/log/messages' to see what is happening)
+
+
If a call terminates you should get 'NO CARRIER' and gnokiid should
+continue to work, but this is early code and you may find you have to
+Ctrl-C and restart gnokiid (especially if the phone says the terminal
+connection has been lost)
+
+

Answering data calls problem...

+> phone), and dialing in from the Palm still gets no ring.
+
+First we should know how operators manage data call services,
+is there any international standard (it would be, to make international data
+calls possible). I described, how it works with my operator (Plusgsm/PL)
+and I'm interesting if it's a worldwide standard for these services?
+Did somebody tried to make a cellular-to-cellular international data transfer ?
+
+In Plusgsm there are three kinds of data calls :
+1. OUTGOING CALLS. Service activation is free with no additional monthly charge.
+ For default this service is disabled, you have to call operator's helpdesk
+ to
enable. With this service is possible to call:
+ a) any internet gate
+ b) WAP gate
+ c) any "private" computer with own transfer protocol
+ d) ?? send a fax ?? (with special fax software for cellular modem
+ included in NCDS)
+ 1 minute charge is similar to voice calls. It's not allowed by the operator
+ to answer incoming data call.
+2. INCOMING CALLS. You have to pay for service activation (5$) and additional
+ monthly charge (10$). Then you will get a new SIM card with 2 phone numbers:
+ one for voice/sms and second one - for incoming data calls only.
+ 1 min charge depends on the network from the call was initiated,
+ generally 1...2 times x voice call.
+3. FAX CALLS. Another payable service, not covered by above mentioned.
+ There is a special trick for incoming fax: it's stored in "FAX mailbox",
+ you can call this mailbox with standard fax machine
+ (or cellular modem connected to PC) to receive it.
+
+I guess your operator have similar restrictions for incoming data calls and
+here is your problem. Incoming call is recognized as a data type and rejected.
+It would be nice to know if it's rejected on the operator's software level or
+by the phone software (acc. to informations stored in the SIM).
+In the second case it's easier to omit these restrictions. But be careful !
+You will be treated by the law in the same way as if you try to hack
+Bill Gates credit card number ;-) .
