My project for this morning was to get my month-old XDA2 working as a wireless modem for my laptop with irDA. "How hard can it be?" I thought.
Well...
Needless to say, there are no instructions (yet) on the O2 UK website, so I've hunted around.
I've found these links:
http://bugjr.com/jon/gprs.html for general guidelines
A link from this page (http://www.myxda.com/serviceandsupport/template/XdaIIHowToUse.vm) giving similar instructions
This hidden PDF (https://www.sourceo2.com/NR/rdonlyres/ej3dpbkpm6dx3wvn5tvo6s3acdk6snou5lzehd6iy3qayalo5q eoasutuzz2lgtlouzcjr43fzz35e3iadmr2qr6kna/CTS1299-1+Setup+Xda+Modem.PDF) from O2 UK for the XDA, also confirming similar instructions
Everything seems to be going OK. My laptop knows the XDA2 is there and can query the modem just fine. When I try to connect, though, the dial-up connection process starts, then ends a second later with a dialog saying:
"Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem (or other connecting device)"
I'm sure this isn't a hardware problem. Can anyone point me to the solution for this?
My connection is dialling number *99#
My modem init command string is AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","MOBILE.O2.CO.UK" (and I've tried AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","MOBILE.O2.CO.UK","",0,0 too)
User name is O2Web and password is password, as required in the O2 PDF link above.
TIA
