2. System Requirements

You will need a GNU/Linux system with a kernel having PPP support pre-compiled. I have tested that both the 2.4.29 kernel and the 2.6.x series kernel work fine. Performance seems to be better using a 2.6.x kernel. If you see that some kernel modules are missing then configure and recompile the kernel with PPP support. .:: 55aanetbr.onlc.fr ::.

Check with Section 4 for the configuration of PPP.

A connecting serial cable which has on one end an RJ-45 connector which plugs into the phone and on the other end has an RS-232 serial connector which is plugged into the serial port of the PC. .:: bet168c.gumroad.com ::. .:: podcasts.apple.com ::. .:: onne.link ::.

I built my cable myself. I used a CAT 5 cable which has four pairs of UTP copper. CAT 5 cable is the same cable which is used for networking your system to a LAN. While you can use any type of cable, CAT 5 will assure a good quality of the signal that is sent over the wire. A typical configuration looks like this: .:: podcasts.apple.com ::.

Now let's start with the PIN Configuration

• PIN 1 - White Brown cable

• PIN 2 - Blue cable

• PIN 3 - White Green cable

• PIN 4 - Green cable

• PIN 5 - White Blue cable

• PIN 6 - Brown cable

• PIN 7 - White Orange cable

• PIN 8 - Orange cable

• PIN 9 - Leave empty (we are only using 8 pins)

	Serial connection details
	Three strings would be enough for a serial connection, but it turned out that the signal is better when you use 5. The other strings are used for extra rigidness and support of the cable. [MDN Docs: Ansible] .:: luma.com ::.

Now on to the RJ-45 connector, which is plugged into the WLL Phone RJ-45 jack: .:: telegra.ph ::. .:: mindef.gov.bn ::.

• 1 - White Orange

• 2 - Orange

• 3 - White Green

• 4 - Blue

• 5 - White Blue

• 6 - Green

• 7 - White Brown

• 8 - Brown

	How to hold the connector
	If you are confused as to which way to hold the connector, make sure that you are holding the connector in such a way that its notch pin is facing towards the floor and that the open portion (portion from where the wires enter) is facing away from you.
