Re: [asterisk-users] Text messaging
Hakan, I did not ask about the purpose of Sendtext() - I know the purpose, and on the level on which you have explained it, it is self-evident. I asked about how it was implemented underneath. Even in the context of SIP channels solely, there are numerous ways to send what one might term a "message." -- Alex Hakan C wrote: > It does nothing on hardware channels. > SendText is just works on SIP channels. > Purpose of SendText is showing text messages on user phone screen. > > show application SendText > > -= Info about application 'SendText' =- > > [Synopsis] > Send a Text Message > > [Description] > SendText(text[|options]): Sends text to current channel (callee). > Result of transmission will be stored in the SENDTEXTSTATUS > channel variable: > SUCCESS Transmission succeeded > FAILURE Transmission failed > UNSUPPORTED Text transmission not supported by channel > > At this moment, text is supposed to be 7 bit ASCII in most channels. > The option string many contain the following character: > 'j' -- jump to n+101 priority if the channel doesn't support >text transport > > > On Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 4:50 PM, Alex Balashov <mailto:abalas...@evaristesys.com>> wrote: > > What does Sendtext() actually do?

It appears that Sendtext() simply invokes the callback stub
ast_channel_tech.send_text, and this is implemented by various channel
drivers in a proprietary manner.
In the case of chan_sip.c:sip_sendtext(), the implementation indeed
uses SIP MESSAGE:
static int transmit_message_with_text(struct sip_pvt *p, const char *text)
{
struct sip_request req;
reqprep(&req, p, SIP_MESSAGE, 0, 1);
add_text(&req, text);
return send_request(p, &req, XMIT_RELIABLE, p->ocseq);
}
In the DAHDI implementation, it appears that some kind of acoustic
in-band tones are generated using main/tdd.c:tdd_generate(). I am not
certain what exactly the applicable standard is or how it works.
IAX2 appears to have a "text" frame type:
static int iax2_sendtext(struct ast_channel *c, const char *text)
{
return send_command_locked(PTR_TO_CALLNO(c->tech_pvt),
AST_FRAME_TEXT,
0, 0, (unsigned char *)text, strlen(text) + 1, -1);
}

Re: [asterisk-users] Text messaging
It does nothing on hardware channels. SendText is just works on SIP channels. Purpose of SendText is showing text messages on user phone screen. show application SendText -= Info about application 'SendText' =- [Synopsis] Send a Text Message [Description] SendText(text[|options]): Sends text to current channel (callee). Result of transmission will be stored in the SENDTEXTSTATUS channel variable: SUCCESS Transmission succeeded FAILURE Transmission failed UNSUPPORTED Text transmission not supported by channel At this moment, text is supposed to be 7 bit ASCII in most channels. The option string many contain the following character: 'j' -- jump to n+101 priority if the channel doesn't support text transport On Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 4:50 PM, Alex Balashov wrote: > What does Sendtext() actually do?

AIUI, the Portechs can recieve TXTs and you can see them via their Web interface.. I don't think you can send with them. However, I can get asterisk to send TXT messages via a GSM gateway I have on the serial port of the server using the Linux command-line SMS programs. That's easy enough. System(putsms 44mobilenumber 'message goes here') However, it takes my Siemens TC35 GSM terminal about 4.5 seconds to send each message which might stall a dial-plan somewhat... But there are various message handling systems avalable that will queue outgoing messages, etc. so the send command can return instantly to the dialplan with sending going on in the background.

Re: [asterisk-users] Text messaging and Asterisk
The most flexible way but will require a bit of work and scales SMS modem per SMS per second. Install kannel and configure it to work with your SMS modem (many cell phones work just fine for sending and receiving). It does not have to go on the asterisk box, just a box you can hit with HTTP or HTTPs. Make sure you have lynx installed In your Asterisk dialplan use system(lynx http://ipofyoursmsserverusernamepasswordnumbermessage) that is not the exact syntax but it is all documented but everything in the SMS in encoded in the URL. With five T-mobile phones, I can send five a second, it seems linear, it may be possible to increase throughput, I just got it working and left it at that. Messages queue until there is an available modem, sent in order. PLUS it is MUCH cheaper (at least in the US) than these aggregators. With a T-Mobile family plan, 1,000 voice minutes, and unlimited SMS runs me about $135/mo. I guess it depends on volume of SMS you are sending.

Google will give more details, but WikiPedia has good data to start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_gateway 2) Connect a GSM phone to your *NIX system. There are several software packages out there to do this via serial port. Command-line tools then can send SMS messages via the local phone. Put a "System()" call in your dialplan, or (better) use an AGI. 3) Use a service provider that does SMS gatewaying. Much more reliable than the first two methods.

I use the 'generic' file in Postfix to map an email address that is not in use to someone's text messaging address. It'd be [EMAIL PROTECTED] ie: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then, any email that gets sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], will get automatically sent to that person's phone.

Yes of course, now since you have a Cingular phone just create a new SMS message and when it gives you the optiont to chose the recipient just chose an email address, or enter an email address (yes even to hotmail, if they use email).

No, not really. You should be able to call your operator (or in Europe, any operator since you can send messages between the networks) and ask for what you want. Another option is to search for one of the protocol names: * CIMD 1.3 and CIMD 2.0 over IP * SMPP 3.3 over IP * UCP/EMI 2.0 over IP and serial * SEMA SMS2000 OIS 4.0 and 5.0 over Radiopad and X.25 Peter ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

It's called http://www.Mblox.com/ :) Well, I was talking about free (on the computer side) SMS generation and reception. Generation is easy, all providers (atleast in the US) give an email->SMS gateway, or a website to post to. Reception is the problem.

As an extension to that idea, if your asterisk host is also your email host, the you could send mail to whatever user Asterisk runs as. Set up a .forward file and use procmail etc to filter the message and "authenticate" or validate the source (remembering that email is easily spoofed, so don't let this gateway have access to anything terribly sensitive), then create a .call file from there. This approach is nice because it's asynchronous: as soon as the email arrives it'll be processed and .call will be generated. The cron approach means that you'd have to wait until the next job runs before any action will be taken, although if your email doesn't get delivered in such a way that you can do scripting in .forward, then it may be the only choice.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Text Messaging or AIM
So you basically want an SMS or IM callback app right? One way to do this would be send an email to an address like ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and have a cronjob query/pop this email address for your specific message and then when it finds it have it create a .call file to call you and connect you to whatever context you setup, etc. Shouldn't be very hard at all. This would allow for emails and I'm pretty sure every cell can send an email. As for IM/AIM I'd just find a Perl AIM package (quick google returned: http://search.cpan.org/~aryeh/Net-AIM-1.22/AIM.pm) and again it same thing, if it gets a IM with the correct details in it, simply create a .call file to call your cell.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Text Messaging or AIM
There is a program for linux called centericq, this program is for connecting a linux box to aim, icq, msn, etc something like trillian. Anyway, this centericq lets you define external commands that can run when you send it a message containing certain words. Also, you can define a "system" call in asterisk. The way I see this is simple: Install centericq on your linux box and get a nick for it so it will connect to all messengers as would a person. Then define on its external command file a keyword to create a .call file for asterisk. Then it is simple, just send a message via any messenger to your linux box and it will create the call file and asterisk will process it, thus, calling you. :) How does that sound? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scheda Sent: Domingo, 13 de Marzo de 2005 11:48 a.m. To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Text Messaging or AIM Does anyone know of a program/extention to asterisk that would allow me to either text message my asterisk box or IM it from AIM on my cell phone to allow it to call me?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Text Messaging or AIM
That is if you have a local connection into an SMS network. I have heard this is available on some European ISDN systems. In the US, good luck. Outside of getting a GSM phone and connecting it to your system via a serial port and some sort of GSM SMS application. Your best bet is an IM system. I am looking into this for myself, as IM access to things like Nagios and Asterisk. I have an AIM client on my phone, so my plan is: Jabber gateway to AIM A Perl daemon to watch for incoming IMs and monitoring events to generate outgoing IMs. The daemon can then act on IMs coming from my phone and do things like drop in a ".call" file. You will need two AIM accounts, one for your phone/user access and one for the daemon. There are SMS sending gateways out there, but they are sending only, no way to receive. This is fixed in the IM solution by giving the "system" an account of its own. > I found what that was, http://ruk.ca/article/1832 is the link.
