Nokia 6230i

The 6230i uses the Series 40 software platform. It is tricky to connect to. In theory a lot of tools can handle this phone.

• kandy
• kmobiletools
• gammu/wammu
• gnokii

I use a DKU2-USB cable to connect the phone to GNU/Debian Linux. gnokii is the only program that actually works with the phone. My configuration is (~/.gnokiirc):

[global]
port = /dev/ttyAMC0
model = 6510
initlength = default
connection = dku2libusb
use_locking = yes
serial_baudrate = 115200
smsc_timeout = 10

[gnokiid]
bindir = /usr/sbin/

[connect_script]
TELEPHONE = 12345678

[disconnect_script]

[logging]
debug = off
rlpdebug = off
xdebug = off

If you connect the DKU-2 USB cable with the cell and your USB port the cell is asking you if you want to use it as a USB memory stick. If you say 'yes' it will register itself as a standard memory stick on /dev/usbX. If you say 'no' the cell registers as a modem/cellphone on /dev/ttyAMC0 and you can use it with every program that can use a modem or connect to a cellphone.
