Re: how to use a phone connected to USB port

Nikos Balkanas Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:12:41 -0800

Hi,

If you are having any more problems attach detailed relevant bearerbox logs+ configuration file. The OS drivers map the USB device to a serial device,therefore you use baud rate and parity to communicate with it.


BR,
Nikos

Thank you guys... I got the the usb port now, great, but I can't getminicom

to interact well with it.  I sent an AT and gives me back an OK, so I am
doing something right, but everything else says ERROR...  for baud rate I

have: 19200,8N1, but it is strange to me since this is not a serialdevice,

it would not use parity... or would it?... would be any of the other

parameters?... Although this is not strictly a Kannel issue, it is aKannel

issue in the sense that I should be able to get it to work well in minicom
before I can do anything else in Kannel

Thanks a lot guys

Hi,

If not covered in documentation, you can also search the mail archives.This

question has been answered many times over. Furthermore it is an OS issue,
not kannel's.

Try:

dmesg | grep tty

to get your USB device. Connect with wvdial or minicom to verify serial
communication. Lastly configure it in kannel.

BR,
Nikos

Dear friends:

 I am a newbie and greatly will appreciate your help on the following
question, since there is nothing, but nothing in terms of documentation
that
can give me a hint on how to use a Motorola i776 connected via the USB
port.
I have read the entire user's guide, and here is what I have so far:

1) On a Centos 5.4 system, I compiled and started bearerbox and smsbox...
they are running beautifully.
2) I got fakesmsc to work well.
3) However, how do I know the following:
   1. What is the name of the USB port on my linux system?  Is it
/dev/ttyXXX what?, and then, since the computer has like 4 different USB
ports, how do I know which one is it?
   2. does anyone has a sample configuration for a usb Motorola phone ?

Thanks a lot everybody

C. Savinovich

You need to tell your modem to pass the sms to kannel using at+cnmi
command
and/or tell kannel to look for the messages in the modems:
sim-buffering = true...

read the manual for details.

Success, after doing some research I found out AT command was not set
properly.

after doing this:
init-string = "AT+CNMI=3,1,0,0"

in group modems I now receive messages, (log file shows) :

2010-01-19 18:46:11 [10491] [6] DEBUG: AT2[MainSMSC]: received message

but one last thing, can you please tell me why the warning in end? I have

smsbox configured, what is list? and also my get-url is not working,means

my PHP page cannot read the recieved msgs, but logs show that kannel is
recieving.

Here is my sms-srevice config:

group = sms-service

catch-all = yes
max-messages = 0
#exec = gedit
get-url = "http://localhost/getsms.php?from=%p&text=%r&time=%t";

No.

The actual 8-bit bytes are string/2. These have to be matched against a

maximum of ~140 octets in an SMS. Remember to use correct coding &charset

(read user's guide) in your sendsms url.

 This is HEX code .

 So just length of this string / 4 will count the actual characters ?

   I don't know how you make your php script. But if you convert
everything
to binary (i.e. hex) just read off the bytes.

   PS: There is no ASCII value for hindi chars!

       Hi,

       Each unicode character counts as 2 regular chars. That is, unicode
chars above the regular ASCII (hindu chars for example).

 Dear All,

 I have a small issue i am facing while using Sqlbox to send sms.

 I have two smpp in my kannel.conf with id first & second.

 The second smpp is not working as of now i.e though you can connect to it
if someone uses it to send sms it will not go.

 I always insert smsc-id as first in sqlbox send_sms table but sometime it
still tries to send sms using second as smsc-id & hence it fails. This
usually happens when i insert a lot of sms in 1 go.

 I wonder how is this possible. Also if i comment second smsc from
kannel.conf it works perfectly fine.

 Can someone put some lime light please?

BTW, don't you think (kannel users) it could be nice to create a list of

compatible phone with the configuration for each phone that works onkannel

? So that we would not have question about phone compatibility on kannel?
