Hello all,
To use a cell phone to access the Net, enable the phone's bluetooth.
(You may require sighted assistance to do this, unless your phone has
a screen-reader, or you have memorized how to do this already.) After
that, have the BN search for bluetooth devices. Once it finds the
phone, select "modem" from the list of services. When asked for an
authentication code, either type one, or just hit enter (a code is not
necessary for a connection). The phone should prompt for a code at
about the same time the BN does. Enter the same code (or nothing at
all) that you entered on the BN.
Both devices should tell you that the pairing was successful.
Now here comes the part that really isn't explained at all in the
manual. Go into the connectivity menu again, if you're not already
there. Create a new dialup or lan configuration. When prompted for the
device to use, cycle through the available devices (space with s t
sign on Braille units) until you hear the same name that you got when
you chose the phone from the bluetooth list of devices. Hit enter to
confirm the selection, and exit the list once you've named the
configuration something meaningful. Confirm changes by answering yes.
Now access the web browser on the BN. When asked for a configuration
to use, select the one you just created.
I hope this helps. I don't know much more than this on using bluetooth
on a phone, as my phone's internet service is not activated. I do know
that the process I've set forth in this message is the correct one up
to this point, though.
I know this may seem complicated to some, so I encourage you to call
Humanware, or other list members if you have trouble.
Oh, and one final note:
If the bluetooth connection is by any means severed, be it a reset or
whatever, you absolutely MUST reconnect the two devices BEFORE you
select the phone's configuration in the web browser, or you will
receive an error about a device being unavailable.
