Hi everyone / Keke

With indulgence, I am a newbie.

From above specs, I installed SMSTools (with Playsms) in my server to act as gateway for a GPS tracking webapp. We wanted to run the app using SMS as primiray mode instead of GPRS for some reason.

After moving around some posts I made some headway

here is smsd.conf

devices = modem1

loglevel = 4

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

# Modem configuration
# Motorola V3
[modem1]
#init =
device = /dev/ttyACM0
incoming = yes
smsc = +xxxxxxxxxxxxx
#pin =
baudrate = 115200
report_device_details = yes
check_memory_method = 31
loglevel_lac_ci = 8

While the system apparently receives SMS, it can not seem to send, here is my smsd.log



While making this receive is a major breakthru for the tracking webapp,we still need to get this to send. What have we done wrong?

One small note:
logfile = /var/log/sms/smstools.log
does not generate anything.

Any inputs are well appreciated. Please bear with the newbie. Thanks.

Still Same error. here is what I generated via command line sending:

mistah@webserver:~$ sendsms
Destination(s): 09xxxxxxxxx
Text: this is a test message via line
--
Text: this is a test message
To: 09xxxxxxxxx
mktemp: failed to create file via template `/var/spool/sms/outgoing/send_XXXXXX': Permission denied
mv: missing destination file operand after `/tmp/smsd_CwV8pf'
Try `mv --help' for more information.

You could set loglevel to 7 and try again. With debug level it may be possible to see why reading of messages fails.

Have you ensured that the number of SMSC is correct?

chmod 777 /var/spool/sms/outgoing

And Destination(s): 09xxx will not work. Use international format for the number.

Thanks Keke for the reply. Set log level to 7. SMSC is verified to be correct.

I mean that since

logfile = /var/log/sms/smstools.log

I just expected errors in this logfile, but found this empty.

Thanks. No longer have the error message but it still would not send. I tried another phone fearing it was a phone problem.Turned out it seem there is a network problem tonight so I informed provider. The other phone I tried was not sending SMS also, but receives. Shall update you once network is repaired.

Here is my recent smsd.log after the changes:





Here is the revised smsd.conf



Reduced baud to 19200 - will this make a difference?
Shall I revert back to loglevel 4 after this?

Again, thank you much for your help.

 Finally got this it to send and receive Keke. Thanks. 

You were correct, the SMSC was wrongly initialized.
I removed it anyway from the conf file and it worked just the same.

Is there a way to initialize the smsd.conf to optimize for speed. I noticed the response to be a little slow to update, it must be the network issue as well.

I have another modem candidate - Huawei E160E 'plug-it' USB. Do you think this is better than the Moto V3?

Again, sincere thanks for your assistance.

If talking about the speed of sending, generally taken there is no way to increase it. From the log it can be seen where the time is spent, and in some cases something can be done. In any case this is something called "fine tuning", and I cannot give general instructions for it.

Usually modems work better than phones. Many users of this software use Huawei devices today, perhaps you could try it too. I have tested some Huawei sticks, and they can be used if the USB interface is reliable (free of interferences), and has power enough.
