6.3. Using GPRS

Using GPRS is basically the same as analog dial-up connection. See previous section. You can use automatic script to establish the connection or make it manually. To connect with automatic script type command btgprs and press enter. It will guide you further.

You can set up the connection manually giving needed two commands. Change the device name below if needed. Format is /dev/bty<line_number>. To check the used line number type:

btclt status

Then connect to the phone and start PPP.

btclt connect <phone_address> DUN
pppd call gprs /dev/bty0 //gprs is a predefined GPRS profile installed by Affix

If you have problems connecting see /etc/ppp/peer/gprs-connect-chat file. It has the script that is used to connect to Internet. It works at least in Finland, but the needed script might be different depending on your location. Ask your ISP for further information.
