Dear brailleNote List, There has been a lot of discussion lately about setting up the series 60 phones as a modem for the BrailleNote. I have found personally the best way to interface the phone and the BrailleNote is via bluetooth. The phone that I have is a Nokia 6682, and the provider is Cingular. The phone information may be irrelevant. If someone is wanting to use their phone as a modem I would recommend going with the unliminited internet package, as daily internet usages will add up rather quickly. I will outline in detail setting up the BrailleNote and the phone as a modem below. Note: this will only work with either a mPower or a PK. I am going to provide BT instructions, as that is the type of keyboard I have. If someone wishes to add the QT in parenthesis next to the BT commands, they can go right ahead.
Paring 1. make sure that the blutooth feature on the phone is switched on 2. make sure visibility is set ot yes on the phone 3. turn the bluetooth on the BrailleNote side 4. it will ask, "search for devices?" 5. type in yes, it will begin searching, it will bring up a list of bluetooth devices within a radius of 10 meters. 6. Look for your phone and hit enter, it will bring up a list of services, select modem and hit enter. 7. It will promt for an authetication code, type what you would like to be your authentication code, make sure you use a number sign if in grade 1 or 2, if in computer braille, then lower numbers, then hit enter after you are done. 8. A message will appear on your phone asking for the same authentication code, type it in using the keypad and hit select. 9. Now, both your phone and BrailleNote are paired and active. Connectivity 1. From the main menu, press chord o to get into the options menu 2. press c for connectivity 3. Hit c to create a new dial-up or lan connection 4. for the connection configuration name (I would advise switching to computer braille), type wap.cingular and hit enter (cingular must be spelt out when using computer braille) dot is dots 4, 6 5. for the device to use, press chord 3, 4 until you get to your phone and hit enter 6. for the phone number (I would advise switching to computer braille , by hitting backspace with j), enter the following string *99***1# and hit enter. * is dots 1, 6 9 is dots 3, 5 # is dots 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. for the service user name (I would again advise switching to computer braille, by hitting backspace j), type [EMAIL PROTECTED] @ is chord u followed by dot 4 dot is 4, 6 (cingular must be spelt out when using computer braille) 8. service password can be left blank, and the rest of the fields can be left as their default. 9. It will prompt to add this record, type y for yes. 10. Everything is paired and configured 11. When you want to go onto the intenret or check emails, it will prompt, "connect using which configuration?" select wap.cingular Enjoy using your phone as a modem.
