How to connect the phone with USB and ActiveSync - by Trivius

In older firmware versions it works like a charm, but in firmware versions higher than v1.01.00s there is a little magic needed. After many unsuccessful tries I found two conditions to be met:

a. The phone's USB connector must be already few seconds powered, before it is connected to the PC.
b. There is small time window about 15-20s after powering the phone on, when the connection must be established.

So here are all steps in detail (tested with firmware v1.03.18.S)

Using the Y-type USB cable:
0. Install ActiveSync. Download driver for WIP330 from http://www.omghax.ca/ and extract it to (lets say) WIP330 folder.
1. Buy the Y-type USB cable (it is often enclosed with external 2.5'' USB discs). It has one mini USB (to the device) and two USB (to the PC) connectors. The important is, that one USB connector hasn't connected data pins and provides only power.
2. Turn the phone off.
3. Plug the mini USB connector into the phone and the USB power connector into the PC.
4. Turn the phone on, and cca 15s after the display starts glow, plug the USB data connector in the PC. This is the only time window when the phone identification is properly passed to the PC.
5. After the "New hardware detected" bubble appears, point it to the WIP330 folder and proceed th driver installation.
6. If ActiveSync haven't started, do it manually from menu File/Connection Settings, pressing the Connect button.
7. ActiveSync will connect, and voila - in File Explorer new mobile device appears, with access to its filesystem.

Using the externally powered USB hub:
Whole procedure mentioned above works also with any externally powered USB hub. Just connect classic USB cable between the phone and HUB, plug the power supply into the HUB and turn the phone on. 15s after coldstart, plug the USB hub to the computer.


1. How to start WIP330 in User or Admin mode. - simonxda
Edit: /WIP330/SysSet.INI and change the following.

For admin mode:

[PhonePassword]
Skip=0
Force Admin Mode=1

For user mode:

[PhonePassword]
Skip=0
Force Admin Mode=0

2.Wallpaper and ringtones can be uploaded using the webgui.
(Some versions only)

3.How to have your own wallpaper and ringtones. - simonxda
Just create 2 directory "Wallpaper" and "Ringtone" in WIP330 directory and copy the files into it.
Now it will appear on your phone selection. Cheers...


If you have been locked out of your phone, there is a backdoor username and password which was kindly placed by whoever coded the active server pages for this thing. "elseif( tmp_Locase_name_value = "*\235118251") and (tmp_Locase_pw_value = "27545645\*" ) then"

Also for those of you who would like to be able to decrypt/encrypt your system SysSet.crp initialization file that can be exported via the web interface. Here is the method+encryption key:

set FileSys = CreateObject("Scripting.Shell")
Sys_retVal = FileSys.CryptionFile("\WIP330\SysSet.INI", "\windows\www\wwwpub\SysINI.crp", "*lk78609*", vbtrue )

If anyone has any information or ideas regarding to the loss in modifications to directories other than /wip330 on restart, please let me know. I can be reached via aim @ n3on.


I found a simple way to let you browse the phone via the built in Windows Explorer, just open the web browser and input a single backslash ('\') and press the center button, then the left softkey and select Enter. Use the mouse pointer to go to the bottom bar you now see on the screen, click on it with the center button. Have fun and remember that you can delete files out of any directory except \WIP330 and \Network and they will just be replaced from the flash rom back into ram on reboot :) Also this might be the key into enabling the ActiveSync connection in the new firmwares, just double click the Control Panel link and select PC Connection. Make sure that the "Enable direct connections..." box is checked and "`USB Default" is the selected connection. I have made a driver for the WIP330 USB connection available on my site listed below.

Reviews

  • First Look at the WIP330 by Voxilla - WiFi VoIP phones have been a disappointment: anemic battery life, bare bone features and feeble sound quality. The latest entries in the field, the Linksys WIP300 and WIP330, make big strides forward in all three areas.

  • www.archatechs.com
This phone is definatly overpriced for its quality and lack of advanced settings. Wireless & SIP settings are easy to configure and it does work very well with asterisk; although the first second of the call sounds like the chipmunks. The screen is vivid and easy to read however the backlight goes off every few seconds and you can't change that. Its three ringtones and paltry variety of wallpaper is also disapointing for a $400 phone. I couldn't find anywhere to upload any other applications/ringtones/wallpapers so it seems like a waste to even use win ce on it. It supports G729,G711u&a. I would reccomend this only because of its easy configuration and of course its support for *WPA* but its sound quality is definatly not as good as the Hitachi WirelessIP5000. Thats just my opinion take it as you will.
