Operating system name and version: Openwrt Backfire 10.03
Version of smsd: 3.1.14
Smsd installed from: sources - openwrt sdk compiling
Name and model of a modem / phone: internt key huawei e162
Interface: USB


hello community!!! I'm italian, sorry for english!

i use smstools3 in a small "SMS Notify application" recompiled for OpenWrt router (asus WL-500Gp) with a USB internet KEY (huawei e162)

With some script modification work very well and compile with no problem.

I don't understand if is possible use sms send/receive and connection at the same time
is interesting for use grps/UMTS for rescue when the primary connection in down or for support remote access

thanks in advance

Huawei device (at least E1552) provides more than one port. One of them is "3G Application Interface" and one other is "3G PC UI Interface". I do not know how the 3G connection works on Openwrt, but this is how interfaces work simultaneously on Windows:

1) If network connection is created by Mobile Partner program (from Huawei), this program uses the UI Interface and smstools3 cannot use it.

2) If network connection is created by Windows, without Mobile Partner, smstools3 can use the UI Interface. It was tested that sending and receiving SMS works fine, at the same time when 3G network connection is used for download files and browsing.

Of course, what happens on WIndows does not help you, but perhaps this may give a glue on how this stick may work under Openwrt. First plug in the stick, and then use dmesg to see how many ports are provided. If there are two or more ports, check what port is used by networking, and try to use some other port with smstools3.

Great . What kind of modifications were required, can you show them?

i made custom initscript for openwrt service (sms4wrt) more simple than your

when i test all pkg for openwrt, if you are interested i send you all

I was wondering if some changes were required in the code, and in that case the next version might have them included with a flag in the Makefile. I do not have OpenWrt router, but just ordered ASUS WL-500Gp.

Just remembered, that in this topic member kessi said that no changes were required, when running smsd 3.1.5 on OperatLinux OpenWrt 2.6.25.17 #16 Sun Feb 15 00:19:46 CET 2009 mips unknown - ASUS WL-500G Premium - Kamikaze 8.09, r14511.

i don't make any modification in source code of smsd, but openwrt sdk need a special makefile for cross compilation (mips) on i386 pc
(i use Debian lenny 5.0),and your install script not work for this.
This is in my source dir in sdk ../openwrt/openwrt-backfire/package/smstools3

Note in my package i insert xmail basic mailroot config for work with some script, because in the example script in your source is considered use a real mail server (postfix,procmail,fetchmail) but on a Openwrt router...there isn't space for make this... and i work to custom something

Is a beta beta beta pkg but work for now!
I spent a long time and night for this... I hope that someone will serve!
My two cents

first i user /dev/ttyUSB0
i try other port interface for sms /dev/ttyUSB2, and put data connection on /dev/ttyUSB0

i receive some message in log (level 5)

2011-03-22 07:12:03,3, USBKEY1: Unexpected input: ^RSSI:0 2011-03-22 07:12:03,3, USBKEY1: Unexpected input: ^BOOT or USBKEY1: Unexpected "something..."

the ^BOOT is solved use init = AT^BOOT=0,0 (i search in forum )
the ^RSSI...??

Sms send/receive with no problem, but with ttyUSB0 i don't have this msg problem.
is too high log level? is normal msg...??

can i ignore this msg or is important event? (detect_unexpected_input = no)

my smsd.conf
devices = USBKEY1 user = root # 5 send/receive 7 debug loglevel = 5 logfile = /var/log/smsd.log eventhandler = /usr/bin/smsinevent.sh [USBKEY1] device = /dev/ttyUSB2 init = AT^BOOT=0,0 incoming = yes baudrate = 19200 #phonecalls = yes #pin = 1234 pin = ignore memory_start = 1 #signal_quality_ber_ignore = yes #detect_unexpected_input = no

Thanks for the information you have provided.

Use the init = AT^CURC=0, it disables all of those messages.

Because Huawei as device has become more and more commonly used, I have to think if the next version should detect those messages, and use ^CURC=0 automatically.

perfect i test it!

Hello elkondor, can you give me the source files? I use openwrt-backfire and search SMS Tools for this.

i don't make any modification in original source code of smsd, use only the makefile that i post up, and use the same directory structure.

sorry for the late answer. you have created an folder mod4wrt, it is more then makefile

missing rules:
make
Makefile:13: /rules.mk: No such file or directory
Makefile:24: /package.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/package.mk'. Stop.

mod4wrt is my personal script dir, is an optional.
I build package insert the source in openwrt build-root and select minimal pkg to compile, i don't using SDK, don't be successful with this metod for me.... but i am not an openwrt expert

google is my friends!

I cannot found or download rules.mk or package.mk, can you give me a link? It is my first external package and non opkg

elkondor, can you send me the compiled file smsd for openwrt?

I try to get the binary. have patience because machine is remote
where I send it?

Hi elkondor, I have generate a eMail address for one week: 7883537EHTDISZADV@kabelmail.de. Thank for your help.

sorry, I got the following error:

line 2: syntax error: unexpected word (expecting ")")

can you help?

when you start daemon binary or the daemon not start with this error??

I have started smsd over the terminal (Putty)

try with non config file smsd.conf...


i think is a compiling issue (but i not sure) of my package.... I use openwrt-backfire rc4 firmware on wrt device and compiling with buildroot in svn...

And you? version of firmware/platform installed?

the message is similar (but i not sure) to when you run a binary compiled for other architecture/chip.
i try some pgk for other/older versione and have similar man not egual problem or "unexpected error"
i test it only on broadcom-wrt Asus wl500gp in my case.

I think you will have to compile it yourself...

I use OpenWRT Backfire (r2403 on TP-Link TL-WR1043ND. I have tested with and without conf-file, it is the same.
Can you send me an howto and source for Buildroot on my mail address? I have googled and not found sources for backfire.
Many thanks for your help.

Hi Elkondor,

Any chance to share the 'howto' to build the smsservertools 3 for OpenWrt please?
Reading your discussion with Keke is not so easy for a newbie

Thanks ...

sorry i'm go away for holiday i see this week all message

build root is too big... in my case is 2-3gb....
but i need to install smstools on the same router (t-plink) and i try to recompile because i have the same issue.....

after i send you smsd

howto... big word i try try try.... on a devel machine... i think if this machine dead i do not recreate it
