Operating system name and version: Debian
Version of smsd: 3.1.6
Smsd installed from: sources
Name and model of a modem / phone: ONDA N101E
Interface: USB

Hi I'm new of this site and I would like to say hallo to all!
Next, here my question: I have to connect my USB Modem ONDA N101E to my machine, for receiving SMS. When I connect it to the USB port, dmesg says:

USB Serial support registered for pl2303 pl2303 1-1:1.0: pl2303 converter detected usb 1-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 usbcore: registered new interface driver pl2303 pl2303: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver

Next, I configure the device to smsd.conf file:



Then I restart smsd daemon, and when I receive a SMS to that device, I read these lines on smsd.log file:

GSM1: Modem is not ready to answer commands GSM1: Unexpected input: 0o

What can I do to configure my modem?
Have I to change the smsd.conf file?

Thanks in advance
Bye

The version of your smsd is not 3.0, it's at least 3.1.5, right?


That kind of a device should just work without any special settings required. You could try with a different baudrate, like 19200, if it makes any difference.

Do you mean that all of the communication is ok after starting the smsd (using loglevel = 7), but when a message is received, the modem stops answering? This sounds strange, and may mean that your device is somehow broken, or has a bad firmware.

Hi. Thanks for your help.
I attached the device once again, and dmesg says:

usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using at91_ohci and address 5 usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=10c4, idProduct=ea60 usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-2: Product: USB to UART Bridge Controller usb 1-2: Manufacturer: Silicon Labs usb 1-2: SerialNumber: 0001 usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice cp210x 1-2:1.0: cp210x converter detected usb 1-2: reset full speed USB device using at91_ohci and address 5 usb 1-2: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB1

Next I set the log level to 7, and baudrate to 19200. That's what log files says when I start smsd:

What can I do? Thanks a lot

Try with baudrate = 230400. If it does not help. I do not know what to do...

Great! It works!!!!!!!
Thanks thanks thanks!

Now I try with something more difficult: connecting more than 1 ONDA N101E!
I have a Hub USB that allows me to connect up to 7 usb using only 1 usb port. It's the "D-LINK DUB-H7 USB 2.0 Hub".
Do you think that I will do it? Stay tuned!

Thanks a lot ...

Hi. I tryed to connect more than 1 ONDA N101E, and when I try to connect 4 modem it says:

2010-05-03 15:57:11,2, smsd: Smsd v3.1.6 started. 2010-05-03 15:57:11,2, smsd: Running as root:root. 2010-05-03 15:57:11,2, smsd: There was 1 error while reading the config file: 2010-05-03 15:57:11,2, smsd: - Too many devices specified. Increase NUMBER_OF_MODEMS value in src/Makefile. 2010-05-03 15:57:11,2, smsd: There was 1 major problem found. 2010-05-03 15:57:11,2, smsd: Smsd mainprocess terminated.

How can I fix it?
Thanks in advance
Best Regards

You have not changed the src/Makefile? There is a NUMBER_OF_MODEMS setting which defaults to 64.

What is your devices setting? Is it like devices = GSM1, GSM2, GSM3, GSM4 ?

No, I have not changed it. Where can I find that file?
And Yes, My devices are sets like GSM1, GSM2, GSM3 and GSM4.

Thanks a lot
Bye

Sorry, Let me explain about src/Makefile:

I have not compiled the SmsTools3, a friend of mine compiled it (and I don't know if he used the options NUMBER_OF_MODEMS). Have I to re-compile it using the properties NUMBER_OF_MODEMS=64?
Thanks in advance
Best regards

If that was changed, you have to change it back or bigger and then recompile.

Sources are under /usr/local/src directory, or somewhere else. If you cannot locate where the sources are, download a new package or ask from your friend.

Is your system working now?

If the sources are still lost, you can find them with a command updatedb; locate -b '\smsd.c' ...

Hi. I have re-compiled it, and I have a new error message that block smsd daemon.
I have try to connect a 4th modem, and it is well connected to ttyUSB2. So the situation on my machine is this:

1 internal modem mounted on ttyS1
1 external modem Falcom Twist mounted on ttyUSB0
1 external modem ONDA N101E mounted on ttyUSB1
1 external modem ONDA N101E mounted on ttyUSB2

When I try to configure 4 modem on smsd.conf, the daemon smsd does't start. It says:

*Starting sms daemon *ERROR: smsdaemon failed to start

I try to use only 3 modems and it works (both with ttyS1-ttyUSB0-ttyUSB1 or ttyS1-ttyUSB0-ttyUSB2). I try to connect the modem ttyUSB1 on ttyUSB2 (and viceversa) and works only with 3 modems (it does'nt work when in smsd.conf I write to work with 4 modem).

What can I do? Where can be the problem?

Here is the smsd.conf file:

*ERROR: smsdaemon failed to start

There is no that kind of a message by the package. How do you start the smsd and are you using the sms3 script?

The smsd.log should contain information about the failure, what is in there?
