2014-01-17

  1. based on this http://blog.sleeplessbeastie.eu/2012/07/16/kalkun-how-to-setup-sms-gateway-at-home/ and http://back2arie.wordpress.com/2010/07/27/using-gammu-smsd-with-multiple-phone/
  2. problem rectified by http://askubuntu.com/questions/211739/gammu-and-device-permissions
  3. following are installed sudo apt-get install gammu gammu-smsd sudo cp /usr/share/doc/gammu/examples/config/gammurc /etc/gammurc the gammurc file will not be there, has to do this step, instaed of running gammu-conifg is a problem and make gammurc files in home folder
  4. now runing gammu --identify, gives no phone detected and other error

  5. for this the config file gammurc has to edited as per like this

    [gammu]

device = /dev/phone
connection = at

    to make the /dev/phone, the udev files have to be created, inside /etc/udev/rules.d, with file name 90-phone.rules, with this contents

    KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1436", NAME="phone", MODE="0666",SYMLINK+="phone"
KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="067b", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2303", NAME="dylos", MODE="0666",SYMLINK+="dylos"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="067b", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2303", SYMLINK+="dylos"

    now reboot the system, inside the /dev folder there will be phone file. Change the gammurc file as earlier and reboot now gammu --identify can be run with out sudo it shows

    gammu --identify
Device               : /dev/phone
Manufacturer         : Huawei
Model                : E173 (E173)
Firmware             : 11.126.30.00.00
IMEI                 : Digits
SIM IMSI             : Digits

    now go to gammu-smsd, it removes file permission error like if it was running gammu --identify with sudo

    gammu-smsd -c /etc/gammu-smsdrc
Can't open log file "/var/log/gammu-smsd.log"
Failed to read config: Can not open specified file.

    by rectifying the gammu --identify with out sudo, gammu-smsdrc will be running and storing the received sms in its in box of mysql if it is configured as per the earlier references, the gammu-smsdrc config file look like this

    [gammu]
device = /dev/phone
connection = at

[smsd]
PIN=9999
runonreceive = /var/www/kalkun/scripts/daemon.sh
logfile = /var/log/gammu-smsd.log
commtimeout = 10
sendtimeout = 20
deliveryreport = log
phoneid = mdsms
transmitformat = auto

#Storage - MySQL
service = SQL
driver = native_mysql
database = kalkun
user = yourrootname
password = yourpassword
pc = localhost

#Storage - Files
#service = FILES
#inboxpath = /home/milosz/sms/inbox/
#outboxpath = /home/milosz/sms/outbox/
#sentsmspath = /home/milosz/sms/sent/
#errorsmspath = /home/milosz/sms/error/
#inboxformat = standard

    moreover, also the MySQL has to give with a database and SQL import from the SQL file provided with the gammu or gammu-smsd, to unzip the gz files use sudo gzip -d pgsql.sql.gz in this folder /usr/share/doc/gammu/examples/sql. Still the kalkun is not working has to see other time
