Linux OpenSuse 10.2 and Wvdial

Hi, here is short tutorial to set up your Linux OpenSuse 10.2 get connect to CDMA modem to get internet access. I use Nokia CDMA 2116 and DKU-5 (not original) cable data. For the internet provider i use Starone.

1. Log on as root (administrator)
2. Connect Nokia CDMA 2116 and DKU-5 to usb port
3. Open Konsole and type dmesg, on my computer ( i use laptop Acer Travelmate 2420) you will find
something like this

usb 1-1: ark3116 converter now attached to ttyUSB0

This is mean that your Linux OpenSuse 10.2 recognize your Nokia CDMA 2116 modem and the DKU-5
cable data

4. Then type "wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf". Find someting like this :

Found a modem on /dev/ttyUSB0.
Modem configuration written to /etc/wvdial.conf.
ttyUSB0: Speed 230400; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2"

5. Ok, now open the wvdial.conf (i use kwrite) and make some change on this :

Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 ----> fill based on information on step 3
Baud = 230400 ----> fill based on information on step 4
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 ----> fill based on information on step 4
Init3 = AT+cso=33 ----> if blank, fill with AT+cso=33
Area Code =
Phone = #777 ----> if you are in indonesia and use CDMA type #777
Username = starone ----> ask your phone/internet provider
Password = indosat ----> ask your phone/internet provider
Ask Password = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Stupid Mode = 1
Compuserve = 0
Force Address =
Idle Seconds = 300
DialMessage1 =
DialMessage2 =
ISDN = 0
Auto DNS = 1
Modem Type = Analog Modem

6. Save your change and exit

7. Open the konsole again and type wvdial

8. The connection work fine if you find information like this :
