Connecting Nokia 6600 and Linux over Bluetooth HOWTO
Version 0.1h (09.01.05) (brain-dump,added gnubox-Link,update on
Modules,received some success stories, kdebluetooth,sx1 notes)
Work on the Linux-Side
Disable kdebluetooth (kbluetoothd)
for now. It conflicts with the channels we use. I will try to find
settings which do not conflict.
You will need
ppp-support in the kernel (modules loaded, if compiled as modules)
<M> PPP (point-to-point protocol) support
[ ] PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)
[*] PPP filtering
<M> PPP support for async serial ports
<M> PPP support for sync tty ports
<M> PPP Deflate compression
<M> PPP BSD-Compress compression
<M> PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)
Sure, not all are needed. As I have compiled everyting statically, I
can't easily test which ones are needed.
bluez-support in the kernel:
<M> L2CAP protocol support
<M> SCO links support
<M> RFCOMM protocol support
[*] RFCOMM TTY support
<M> BNEP protocol support
[*] Multicast filter support
[*] Protocol filter support
NAT/Masquerading in the kernel (except if you only want to access nodes
on
the lan)
ipforwarding activated (except if you only want to access the local
machine itself)
pppd installed (use version supplied by your distributor)
dund installed (bluez-utuls)
rfcomm installed (bluez-utils)
sdptool installed (bluez-utils)
If your distributor ships your distribution with bluetooth support, all
tools
should be available.
My hcid.conf
# HCI daemon configuration file.
options {
autoinit yes;
security user;
pairing multi;
pin_helper /etc/bluetooth/pin;
}
device {
name "BlueZ (%d)";
class 0x100;
iscan enable; pscan enable;
lm accept;
lp hold,sniff,park;
}
My /etc/bluetooth/pin contains (remember to chmod u+x
/etc/bluetooth/pin)
#!/bin/sh
echo "PIN:1234"
/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf contains perhaps some sample-configuration.
Be aware, rfcomm0 may not work as expected
If bluetooth is installed properly on your machine, hcid and sdpd
should be running.
Also /dev/rfcomm0, /dev/rfcomm1, ... and so on should exist.
hciconfig should print something like this:
hci0: Type: USB
BD Address: 00:20:E0:4A:73:F3 ACL MTU: 192:8 SCO MTU: 64:8
UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN
RX bytes:107 acl:0 sco:0 events:14 errors:0
TX bytes:300 acl:0 sco:0 commands:13 errors:0
hcitool scan should print something like this.
Scanning ...
00:0E:6D:0E:63:53 Poldy2
So we now have the bt-id of your
phone. We will need it later.
Work to do on the phone
Setting up the AccesPoint
Verbindungsname = Bt
Datenträger = Datenanruf
Anwahlnummer = (some number, not important)
Benutzername = (none)
Passwort abfragen ) = Nein
Passwort = (none)
Authentifizierung = Normal
Homepage = (none)
Typ des Datenanrufs = Analog
Max. Datengeschw. = Automatisch
Options -> Erweiterte Einstell.
Telefon-IP-Adresse = Automatisch
Primärer DNS = (0.0.0.0)
Sekundärer DNS = (0.0.0.0)
Proxyserver-Adr. = (kein)
Proxy-Portnummer = (0)
Rückruf verwenden = nein
Rückruftyp = (Servernummer)
Rückrufnummer = (kein)
PPP-Komprimierung = Ja
Login-Skript verw. = Nein
Login-Script = (Kein)
Modem-Initialisierung = (Kein)
Running gnubox
Install gnubox on the phnoe gnubox6600.SIS
Note: You dont have to use the version provided here, but be sure to
use a version compatible with Nokia 6600. You could compare the two
binaries if you want to be shure to install the correct version,
but dont want to install the one provided here.
Optionen -> 2box Direct -> Bluetooth
Important: "DefaultTelNum:" on the main-screen must show not the
telephone-number you have prevously entered when setting up the
Access-Point
Gnubox has only to be rerunned, when the access-point settings of "Bt"
whre accidently edited and saved (i.e. entered a new telephonenumber).
You could check if gnubox worked properly by looking (dont save, use
Optionen->Schließen) into the Access-Point-settings. The
prevously entered telephonenumber should not be there any more. It
should show "definition nötig" or something like this. Quit by
using Optionen->Schließen
Not every version of gnubox works -
you have to use the one for our phone. You can find it on the
link above or elsewhere.
Adding the glue
The first run
So, its time for the challenge!
execute in the shell:
sdptool add --channel=3 SP
dund -n --listen --channel 3 --msdun noauth 10.4.2.3:10.4.2.6 crtscts 115200 ms-dns 10.4.2.8 lock
where 10.4.2.3 is the IP-Adress of your linux-machine (in my case its
its address on the lan) and 10.4.2.6 will be the adress of the
phone. 10.4.2.8 is the address of the dns-server.
execute in another shell (replace the bt-id, since your phone will have
another than mine):
rfcomm bind 3 00:0E:6D:0E:63:53 2
echo x > /dev/rfcomm3
This will memorize the bt-id
You should now be able to point Opera on a local installed webserver.
Remember to set "Bt" as Access-Point in Opera, otherwise no connection
over Bt is made.
If you have successfully installed, please let me know your
firmware-version (*#0000#). Also if there is something missing here,
let me also know. My Emailadress: n6600 (a-t) penzer dot de (will add a
gif or form later).
