Hi all,
First of all thank you for developing this amazing product.
I'm trying to develop an sms gateway for my college project, and i found sms server tools3.
Initially i was using a S60 phone as modem, but later i came to know that i cant receive sms using that.
i want to develop a two way messaging service for my project.
Now i got one Nokia 1110 and want to set-up an sms gateway using that. I bought a CA-45 data cable too for the USB connectivity.
my configuration and logfile are given below, i'm not sure whether the configuration is correct or not, but the port is working fine(/dev/ttyUSB0).

smsd.config
# Global configuration devices = GSM1 loglevel = 7 logfile = /var/log/sms/smstools.log outgoing = /var/spool/sms/outgoing checked = /var/spool/sms/checked failed = /var/spool/sms/failed incoming = /var/spool/sms/incoming sent = /var/spool/sms/sent delaytime = 6 errorsleeptime = 12 blocktime = 180 autosplit = 3 receive_before_send = yes [GSM1] #init = device = /dev/ttyUSB0 incoming = yes report = yes #pin = baudrate = 115200

please explain why these errors or special symbols are coming? and why am i not able to send or receive sms?


Thank you....

Have you already tried a lower baudrate, like 19200 or 9600?

You could use wvdialconf to detect your modem and baudrate, it also ensures that the cable is not broken.

Also, you could use some terminal program, like Minicom, to check if it can communicate with your device.

Thanks for the reply, the problem was the communication with my device.

Now i brought a Samsung SGH E250 and i have some problem with sending SMS. I can receive SMS but when i try to send SMS some error occurs. The configuration and log are given below please give a solution.

Thank You.

I think you could try without the smsc setting.

Have you checked what is the smsc setting in the phone? Can you send SMS using your phone?

I tried without smsc setting the same error occurs.
I have checked the smsc setting on the phone and it is same,
and yes i can send SMS using my phone.

please help..

Not sure, but probably this is a problem in communication. Use the modem settings:

init = ATE1+CMEE=1
pre_init = no

and try once again. After a PDU string is sent, it's echoed back and can be verified manually. If it's not the same, you have a bad cable or something like that.

I tried that settings, the log is given below.

same error, any other solution??
if i have a bad cable how can i receive SMS? there is no problem with receiving SMS

This is going to be difficult...

The string is echoed back correctly which means that the cable is not bad. In some cases a bad cable can cause troubles when a long string is sent. At the same time receiving may work well.

You could try without report = yes setting, if it has something to do with this failure. Also try with mode = old, but probably even this does not work.

SGH E250I was reported as a working device, but some other Samsung phones did not work. The error has been the same, after a PDU is sent, nothing is received from the device and it's dead. Probably your phone just has a bad firmware and nothing can be done.

I tried both settings but its not working.
Anyway thanks for your reply, Now I'm using another device to send SMS.

Moved to a new topic (Reply automatically, how to do that?)

I have 1 more question. I want to reply automatically whenever the gateway receives a SMS. how to do that?
I mean is there a way using PHP?? i'm using PHP and mysql. When the gateway get a SMS in a specific format, i want to filter out specific words from the SMS and search the database, then send the result to the user.

Do i have to write all code for this in shell script? (Inside the eventhandler?) or any other method like in PHP or something like that?

Please guide me..

Thank you.
