TATA Internet Settings - Linux(Ubuntu)

The following is the way to create a NOD.

mknod /dev/usb/ttyACM0 c 166 0

After this step a nod called ttyACM0 is available in /dev.

Now the next step is to identify where USB phone modem is connected to .

Connect the modem & boot the system,

look into the Device Manager and find the linux path:

for me it is  /dev/bus/usb/001/002 to which my phone is connected.

So next step was to link it wwith ttyACM0..

The following are the steps:

ln -s /dev/usb/ttyACM0 /dev/ttyACM0

Now the next thing I did was to edit the wvdial.conf.

My copy of wvdial.conf is as follows.

[Modem0]

Modem=/dev/ttyACM0

Baud=115200

SetVolume=0

Dial Command = ATDT

init1=ATZ

init2=AT+CRM=1

FlowControl= Hardware (CRTSCTS)

[Dialer tata]

Username= internet

Password= internet

Phone=#777

Stupid Mode= 1

Inherits = Modem0

Now to configure the ppp0.

In the port section make an entry /dev/ttyACM0 instead of the given ttyS 's and /dev/modem.

Now enter #777 in the phone number side.

Now in the terminal type wvdial tata and there you have it

Happy browsing.

Tata Internet Settings - Windows

To get a Tata Indicom Fixed Wireless Phone to connect to the internet, Do NOT use the installer CD that they provide.

The main idea is that the modem is built into the phone, and you just need a dummy modem connection from the computer to the phone to get it started.

Note: These instructions are for Windows XP.

For a computer with a serial port:

1. Go to -> Control Panel -> Select Phone and Modem options

2. Install a new modem on your computer. Do not allow the computer to detect a Plug and Play modem. Instead, select the Standard 33600 modem that is available as one of the default choices. (I don't know if the other modems work as well. Don't worry - it will connect at 115 kbps, not 33.6 kbps).

3. Install the modem on any COM port that is available.

4. Once the modem is installed, select it and click on Properties. Under Advanced, add the following Extra Initialization command: "AT+CRM=1" (without the quotes).

5. Go to Network Connections (or dial up networking) and create a new connection using the wizard. On the various dialog boxes, select:

a. Connect to the Internet

b. Set up my connection manually

c. Connect using a dial-up modem

d. Choose the modem that you have just installed

e. Choose any ISP name ("Tata" is fine)

f. Phone Number "#777" (without the quotes)

g. Username: internet Password: internet

6. Connect the Tata Indicom Cable to the phone and the computer.

7. Set the phone to the right baud rate:

a. Press Menu

b. Press 2 (Additional)

c. Press 4 (Data Baudrate)

d. Use -/+ to select 115,200 (it doesn't work if you set a higher speed)

e. Press OK

8. Dial the connection you have just created. 

Happy Surfing !!!

For a computer with only a USB port (many new laptops do not have a serial port):

1. Buy a Serial 9 pin Male to USB male cable/connector(Cost is around Rs.100-200/-).

2. Connect the Tata Indicom cable to the phone and via the connector to the computer

3. When prompted to install the driver for the new Hardware, insert the driver CD that came with the USB/Serial bridge connector

4. Once the driver is installed, follow steps 1-8 for the serial port
