Re: Sony Ericsson for Kannel

[Nikos Balkanas]

Hi,

If it is not a modem you cannot use it as an SMSc. And without an SMSc you 
cannot send/receive SMS.

As Isaac suggested, with your modem connected to your server, after rebooting, 
do:

dmesg | grep tty

If you don't get anything, your mobile is not a modem, and you cannot use it. 
To send/receive SMS you will have to either get an SMSc connection or get a 
GPRS modem.

BR,
Nikos

  hi
   yes the mobile does have a USB port.

  If it is not modem should i remove the modem details from the conf file?

  btw have a look at this

  raj...@insi:~/Desktop$ ls -lrt /dev/ttyA*
  crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 0 2009-12-11 12:44 /dev/ttyACM0

    Hi,

    If the mobile is not detected by the OS, you won't need an init string. 
Simply put the mobile is not a modem.

    Does the mobile feature a USB or serial port?

          I was wondering is it possible to use a Sony Ericsson W 580i phone as 
a
          modem for sending sms?



        I havent used a Sony Ericsson but rather a Nokia.
        However you can setup the modem group and smsc group as shown in the 
user guide.
        To be sure the phone can be used, do this:
        Connect the phone to the computer and as root do this
        r...@your-computer#dmesg|grep -i "Sony"
        r...@your-computer#tail -n30 /var/log/messages|grep -i "Sony"

        You must see a link to the device file /dev/ttyACM0 or something 
similar which shows connection to your phone.
        Configure kannel accordingly to use the device file that points to your 
phone. Read the user manual on configuring group=modems group=smsc for using 
phones as virtual smsc.
