madf78: Hmm, ok
by hardware what you mean? modems? hubs? PC...
Which of them you think needs to be replaced?

madf78: no smsd stop
in fact when I enter the following command :
ps -ef | grep smsd
some instances of smsd are "Defunct" sometime all of them and I get some errors in smsd.log (but do no remember what)
Then I have to reboot the machine, remove all modems, re-insert them in a certain order, then restart the daemon.

madf78: Hello and sorry for the late reply
After thorough testing I came up with the following results:
All modems are individually working though under heavy load I get the error.
If the application in under heavy stress (200+ sms/day) smsd stop working and I have to restart it.
Under normal working condition I keep receiving the error randomly but smsd keep working.
So I guess it is a problem of power consumption (maybe)
It might be the hub, or the PC USB outputs.
Can any one suggest some professional hubs make or models I can use?
Thank you again for your support.
Cheers

madf78: Hello keke,
Well I have been trying to solve this issue since a while ago.
I have tried multiple combination.
In brief, the application ran with 7 modems, for 72 straight hours once with absolutely no issues. It may run longer but I have never tested it.
The external hub is self powered.
Usb cables came with the modems (original vodaphone).
I have tried to switch the keys, 4 x 2 different hub, but I guess one on the hub had problem any way I did not work plenty of error and smsd stopped functioning.
Since I would like to run 32 modems later on, I am wondering what should I do?
Once you told me that my configuration is ok..is it still the case, I just made some minor changes since (while trying to solve the current issue)?
Would it be the PC (A new acquired Acer desktop, only for this server purpose) ?
Is it the Vodaphone USB modems?
Or is it the self powered hub (10xUSB input) ?
In each case what different alternative do I have?
please advise.
Thank you again.
Best regards.

read_timeout was added lately in a desperate measure to solve this issue.
Other wise every things works fine, the modems keep on receiving sms but I am bothered with this random error on different modems (Not all of them)
Thank you for your help.
Best regards

madf78: Hello Keke,
I have solved the problem.
One of the modems was defected, in fact I was able to communicate with it using at command, and even sometimes receives sms, but it was random.
So this was the problem.
I replaced the defected modem, got a new better hub, placed the modems away from each other and now it is working.
Thank you again for the support.
You can consider this post as solved.
Best regards.

madf78: I just would like to know if the is something in the config I could modify/add/remove?
Other wise, has some one experienced smsd with more than 2 modems? and would it possible to post a copy or overview of his/her settings please?
Thank you.

Fri Dec 03, 2010 11:47

madf78: Now I am sure that it is not a powering problem, or at least I think.
Modems where connected on 3 different hubs with external powers :(

madf78: Hello Keke,
I tried it with 2 different hubs,
one without external power and the second with a 5v 0.8A external power.
Always the same problem.
I am wondering if the 0.8A are enough to power the 3 cards, since as I read each card needs 0.5mA
But electronics is not my major so i am trying my best to figure it out.

Name and model of a modem / phone: 3x Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem (VODAFONE MODEM)
Interface: USB
Hello,
I am new to smsd and trying to make it work with the above 3 modems just for receiving sms
The problem is that I can only receive sms on 2 of the 3 modems regardless of the configuration/connections.
I tried to change the connections, switch the modems around, connect them to a hub, or directly to the PC or a combination of both.
I switched the SIM cards, and even went on checking if the cards are receiving the proper Voltage/Amperage...
In other words I tried everything I can think of.
The modem that receives the sms are not always the same ones and not always the ones I connect first so sometimes it is modem connected on /dev/ttyUSB0 and USB6 or USB3 and USBt6 or 1 and 6 ...
Any way it seems that I am unable to understand the problem.
I also tried different baudrate...And dont remember what else I also tried, it has been a week now :(
here is a copy of the smsd.conf (I am surely missing something) and a part of one of the logs "GSM1_trouble.log" where an error was reported after receiving an sms, same error was reported on the second modem (though this error is casual)
Dose any one got any suggestion or can help?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards.
