Modem CDMA Venus VT 21 at Ubuntu Desktop : Its very easy to use!



Kemarin ada rekan yang bertanya tentang menggunakan modem dial-up CDMA dengan merek Venus VT 21 pada desktop Ubuntu Jaunty.


Setelah googling, ternyata Modem dial-up CDMA Venus VT 21 sudah terdeteksi secara native pada desktop Ubuntu. Kita hanya perlu menginstalasi aplikasi wvdialconf atau Gnome PPP. Karena saya lebih nyaman bekerja pada desktop, maka saya gunakan Gnome PPP.


Pertama, tentu kita harus menginstalasi Gnome PPP. Paling praktis menggunakan apt. Andai kita menggunakan notebook, kita bisa mengakses repositori online dengan fasilitas hotspot yang banyak tersebar di pusat perbelanjaan atau tempat hiburan lain. Cara kedua adalah kita bisa nebeng ke jaringan internet wired milik rekan, dan mencolok sebenar CPU kita untuk mengakses repo online Ubuntu.


Bagaimana kalau kita tidak punya akses internet sama sekali? Jalan lain yang paling praktis adalah membeli DVD repositori ubuntu, yang banyak di tawarkan oleh distributor produk CD/DVD Linux yang banyak tersebar di Indonesia. Cara yang terakhir, adalah kita pergi ke warnet dan mendownload paket Gnome PPP beserta dependesinya, di Ubuntu Repositori.


Instalasi dari apt :

Buka konfigurasi list mirror repositori Ubuntu kita :

$ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Hapus saja daftar mirror default Ubuntu, karena letaknya cukup jauh dari Indonesia dan cukup lambat untuk di akses, gunakan saja mirror repository online ubuntu terdekat yang ada di Indonesia.

$ sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp

*) Mirror Ubuntu yang ada di Indonesia adalah (yang sering saya pakai) :

deb http://mirror.its.ac.id/ubuntu jaunty main multiverse restricted universe

(kalau kita menggunakan hardy, atau intrepid, tinggal ganti jaunty menjadi versi kita)

Cara menggunakannya sangat simpel. Pertama kita hanya perlu menancapkan Modem Venus VT 21 kita. Kedua, buka GNOME PPP dari menu Internet>Gnome PPP. Pada Gnome PPP, masuk ke setup, dan pilih button “Detect”. Modem kita akan terdeteksi dengan spesifikasi sebagai berikut :


Device : /dev/ttyACM0

Type : Analog Modem

Speed : 460800


Setelah terdeteksi, kita close setup, dan tinggal memasukan username, password dan phone number dari penyedia jaringan yang kita gunakan. Terakhir tinggal tekan “connect”, dan apabila kartu CDMA kita masih memiliki pulsa yang cukup untuk berkoneksi, maka kita sudah bisa menggunakan modem CDMA Venus VT 21 di desktop Ubuntu.


Begitulah !


Selamat ber-Linux !

Aku juga punya pengalaman sama modem VT-12 Starone pake PCLINUXOS :
1. modem ga ke detect dev/ttyACM0
2. file wvdial.conf ga ada, padahal Gnome PPP udah terinstall
Akhire yang kulakukan:
(1). downlaod http://spout.ussg.indiana.edu/linux/pclinuxos/pclinuxos/apt/pclinuxos/2007/RPMS.main/comgt-0.3-3pclos2007.i586.rpm
lalu dinstal pake perintah
su
pasword :
apt-get install /home/-???-/comgt-0.3-3pclos2007.i586.rpm
(2). Bikin file /etc/wvdial.conf
isinya (sama dengan atas):

[Dialer starone]
Phone = #777
Username = starone
Password = indosat
New PPPD = yes
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Baud = 230400
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
ISDN = 0
Auto DNS = 1
Stupid Mode = 1
Auto Reconnect = on

(3). Buka MENU -> Network -> GNOME PPP
Username : starone
Password : indosat
Phone : #777
Buka SETUP:
Device : /dev/USB0 atau /dev/USB1 atau /dev/USB2 atau /dev/USB3
Type : Analog Modem
Speed : 460800
lalu Close
punyaku buka Detect, MOdem ga ke detect.(tapi ga masalah)

Buka CONECT, tunggu........Berhasil......

Bila ga berhasil ganti tu devicenya /dev/USB0 atau /dev/USB1 atau /dev/USB2 atau /dev/USB3. ulangi Close lalu Conect.

Semoga Membantu

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try.  A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t

How To Install Mac OS X Lion Theme On Lubuntu / LXDE

Lubuntu 12.04 with Mac OS X Lion Theme, xcompmgr & cairo-dock [click to enlarge] Mac OS X is the special one in the Desktop market. So many people admire it because of its beauty, safety (yes, it is an UNIX) and its profesional image as “an OS for profesional modern art designer”. Yeah, Mac OS X has beautiful look and I do like its look-n-feel. And so, there are so many theme patcher to make our Microsoft Windows or Linux OS become Mac OS X in the appearance. In Linux Desktop, there are some project specialized in designing theme transformation pack to make our Linux desktop to be looked like Mac OS X. The most popular project probably is Mac4Lin. But, all of those projects was designed only for GNOME or sometimes support XFCE and how about LXDE? Our Star in the current lightweight Linux desktop? (Yes, LXDE is the most light-but-complete Linux desktop for now). Until now, there is no project that officially support LXDE. Basically, LXDE uses gtk (now still stay w

Howto Connect To Windows Share Network (Connect To Server) Easily in PCManFM

In Nautilus 3.4, Nemo, or Caja, there is a very useful menu called "Connect to Server". This menu allow us to connect to a Windows Share network via Samba. If you are using another desktop environment such as LXDE, there aren't such menu, and we need to install third party tool called Gigolo . But apparently, PCManFM (the default file manager of LXDE) already has such function. We could connect to a Windows Share network in PCManFM easily. Here are the simple steps : 1. Open PCManFM and go to adress bar, and type this command : smb://username@server/folder example : smb://staff@192.168.1.69/document then press Enter 2. Once you will be asked to input the Windows Share Network password (if exists), select Remember Forever option. 3. You are connected to Windows Share Network ;)
