Re: [SLE] data cable to use with siemens a50 (about Siemens handy with linux synchronize)

I called Siemens this morning and an attendant told me that although siemens doesn't provide a software to support a50 (maybe next version of SoftDataLink will - "they are working to this") it can exchange data (not by now). Perhaps that´s why nothing is said about a50 exchanging data to PC. They didn't want to create expectative. Ralf tell us it is possible: http://ralf-eisenreich.de/linux___si.89.0.html Some forums agree (see Club-Siemens Forum: http://www.club-siemens.net/forum/viewthread.php?tid=23636 (this one suggest to use the program vissie with a50) http://www.club-siemens.net/forum/viewthread.php?tid=23072 (this guy is using a50 with an USB cable) http://www.club-siemens.net/forum/viewthread.php?tid=23076 (upgrading form a50 to c45) So, it is possible. Just Siemens is avoid to talk before launch a better SoftDataLink. As the authors´ e-mail is hidden , I can't contact them to know wich cable they are using. Any more ideas? a.

hi,

Please notice my tests were done with M55.

You are using A50. Under Siemens's site there is no mention of any serial/usb cables for it. Strange !

As well I can't see any download options for A50 even for Windows. Maybe the A series don't sync with any computer !?

Have a look: http://www.my-siemens.com/MySiemens/CDA/Index/1,1652,HQ_en_0_product%253AMW% 252FDANDA,00.html

There is no mention of any A model for software download, most likely they have no cables available !

rgds, stefan

Hello Ivan, thanks for replying. At http://www.my-siemens.com/MySiemens/CDA/Index/1,1652,HQ_en_0_product%253AMW %252FACCMW%252FDS,00.html ...it is said that some serial cables (DSC500, DCA-510, DCA-500, etc.) will work with some specific models of cell phone (C45, M50, ME45, etc.). As A50 is not listed in any of these products I don't know wich serial cable could be affordable/adequate to me. Has someone experienced using some of these cabels with A50? a.

...and I just want to know wich data cable should I buy to exchange data between my pc and my cell phone. My-simens.com and Club-siemens.net don't tell us about this possiblity. thanks for any help a.

As I understood you could use serial and USB cables. Serial is proved to work as Stefan Parvu reported. USB cable need to load a furter module that provide USB2Serial functionality.

It is part of SuSE 8.1 kernel (and I think later too), but if you want to compile your own kernel it is here USB support -> USB Serial Converter Support -> USB Prolific 2303 Then modprobe pl2303 I still have to test if it really works... I will ASAP.

Anyway I'm planning to write to Siemens at http://www.my-siemens.com/MySiemens/CDA/Index/1,1652,HQ_en_0_menu%253A1704 ,00.html (thx Stefan) to ask more support to Linux (firmware upgrades are available just to Windows) and better collaboration with SuSE (that comes with scmxx).
