Hi,

I'm trying to get sms server tools 3 to send sms via Portech gateway.

I've try with this two configuration but just doesn't work:
[GSM1]

device = @192.168.XX.XX:23
incoming = no
telnet_login_prompt = voip
telnet_password_prompt = 1234


and

[GSM1]

device = @192.168.XX.XX:23
incoming = no
telnet_login = voip
telnet_password = 1234


Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Those settings are correct:
telnet_login = voip
telnet_password = 1234

*_prompt settings are needed, if default values do not match.

You could connect to the device with telnet, and show what that device talks before prompts, and what are the prompts.

Telnet with Porteck:

[root@nms checked]# telnet 192.168.12.35 23
Trying 192.168.12.35...
Connected to 192.168.12.35.
Escape character is '^]'.

username: voip
voip
password: *1234
****
user level = admin.

command: logout, module1, module2, state1, state2, info.
]

Use the following settings:

telnet_login_prompt: username:
telnet_login_prompt = username:
telnet_login = voip
telnet_password_prompt: password:
telnet_password_prompt = password:
telnet_password = 1234

Hi,

I've need to change your code for sms3 service start to:
device = @192.168.12.35:23
incoming = no
telnet_login_prompt = username:
telnet_login = voip
telnet_password_prompt = password:
telnet_password = 1234

In the post #3 smsd was able to connect to that device. And now it's not. I'm not sure what causes that. As the error message is "Connection refused", you could try to reset the mv370 and try with smsd without using telnet before it.

Keke,

I've to change following lines:
telnet_login_prompt : username:
telnet_login = voip
telnet_password_prompt : password:
telnet_password = 1234

to

telnet_login_prompt = username:
telnet_login = voip
telnet_password_prompt = password:
telnet_password = 1234

After reboot I can attempt to login but no success on send sms, can anyone help please?

Yes, I was not sensitive enough... The original post is now fixed.

Without seeing the log I cannot guess what is the problem.

Running into the same issue with Portech mv-370 using smstools latest version.

Did you ever resolve it?

I can telnet to the MV370 and issue the commands manually and it works fine.

A bit more messing around with the configuration and trying to modify I can see that the Portech doesn't handle the username/input part correctly through smstools.

This configuration seems to repeat the username and even in the password box until it can't accept any more characters, causing error.
telnet_login_prompt = username:^M
telnet_login = voip^M
#telnet_password_prompt = password:
#telnet_password = 1234

^M is ctrl+v ctrl+m which I got from another bugreport thread on the Portech not accepting end of line correctly.

Anyone got any suggestions on how to get it to correctly accept the username and password?
