Hi everybody!

I want to get response of modem that connected to USB port.

In terminal 1, I try: cat /dev/ttyUSB2. Below are results:

^BOOT:8588911,0,0,0,20

^BOOT:8588911,0,0,0,20

^BOOT:8588911,0,0,0,20

^BOOT:8588911,0,0,0,20

In terminal 2, I try: echo "ATi^M" > /dev/ttyUSB2 (^M = Ctrl+v+m)
And in terminal 1: the file /dev/ttyUSB2 is changed, below text will be appended

Manufacturer: Technologies

Model: E173Eu-1

Revision: 11.126.29.01.439

IMEI: 867767008588911

+GCAP: +CGSM,+DS,+ES

OK

How can I cat that above text and store it in another file

Or does SMS Tools 3 support another way to contact with USB 3G modem?

Thank you very much

With configuration setting report_device_details = yes smsd stores information to the log file when smsd is started. But probably I did not understand your goal.

Thank you, keke

Hi, I want to get device statics such as status (live or die), number of messages has sent, number of messages in queued... in bash shell or terminal linux :p

So if I config the setting that you said: report_device_details=yes, how can I get device status?

Thank you again

Enable status monitor. In the Makefile change this:

# Comment this out, to enable statistics
#CFLAGS += -D NOSTATS

Define global settings in the smsd.conf:

stats = /var/spool/sms/stats
stats_interval = 0
stats_no_zeroes = yes

Create stats directory, recompile and restart smsd.

For example, the /var/spool/sms/stats/status file will be like:

Status:     09-05-27 20:46:17, irir------------
SONERA:     09-05-27 20:46:09, Idle,      123, 0, 321, ssi: -63 dBm, ber: < 0.2 %
ELISA:      09-05-27 20:46:12, Receiving, 234, 0, 432, ssi: -73 dBm, ber: < 0.2 %
DNA:        09-05-27 20:46:06, Idle,      456, 0, 543, ssi: -77 dBm, ber: < 0.2 %
SAUNALAHTI: 09-05-27 20:46:14, Receiving, 678, 0, 654, ssi: -69 dBm, ber: < 0.2 %

Timestamp value tells when status is created or modem initialization was last started.

Status can be: (s) Sending, (r) Receiving, (i) Idle, (b) Blocked, (t) Trouble, (-) Unknown. Trouble -status means that something abnormal has happened and if smart_logging is in use, trouble log will be written.

Counters are: sent, failed, received. Sent counter is the value from stats/<modemname>.counter file. Smsd does not clear this value. Failed and received counters are from original statistics data and they are cleared each time when stats are stored (stats_interval), or smsd is restarted.
