Request:
You have an ISDN terminal adapter from the company Zyxel
, that is controlled like a modem and you want to go online using the program wvdial
.
Procedure:
Unfortunatly, ISDN terminal adapters do not function exactly like an analog modem...they have a few peculiarities,for example they
- use special commands to establish a Point-to-Point connection.
- in their default settings have extra CONNECT messages
Due to these facts the normal modem configuration, as given in the SuSE Handbook (SuSE 6.1 - chapter 7.2.2; SuSE 6.2 - chapter 7.4.1) needs to be adapted in order to configure the device correctly.
- Do not use the modem recognition
Autodetect Modem
as suggested in
- SuSE 6.1 with the command
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial
- SuSE 6.2 using YaST, menu item
"System Administration ->","Network Configuration->","Configure a PPP Network"
- Login as root user
- Configure the Port that your modem is on under the menu item
"System Administration ->", "Integrate Hardware into system", "Configure Modem"
- Make the following file:
/etc/wvdial.conf
, that would otherwise be made automatically, by hand, with the following contents:
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/modem
Baud = 115200
Init1 = AT&FB40
Init2 = ATXO
; Phone =
; Username =
; Password =
You should follow all other steps of the confioguration as written in the Handbook
