G'day All,
I used SMS Server Tools a year ago for radio competition on a Centos box,
now days to monitor PPPoE or more to the point my ISP.
The SMS Server Tools 3 is a SMS Gateway software which can send and
receive short messages through GSM modems and mobile phones.
Possibilities...send sms for ssh, ftp, ups, vpn…etc and tie it all in
with server-manager. anyone?
rpm
http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/smeserver/contribs/sognenovski/RPMS/smstools-3.3.0.10-2.i386.rpmIn building the rpm I tried to take most of the mystery out of the setup.
A lot more info can be found over here
http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/Sending a message (change mobile number)
# sendsms 491721234567 'Hello, how are you'
or put a SMS file into the Outgoing Folder /var/spool/sms/outgoing.
To read a received message,
take a look into the Incoming Folder /var/spool/sms/incoming or check admin email.
And if you like to monitor PPPoE, install smsserver-ipdown rpm
rpm
http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/smeserver/contribs/sognenovski/RPMS/smeserver-ipdown-1.0.1-02.noarch.rpmipdown rpm emails admin and sends SMS when PPPoE is down or back up.
Follow the directions after the install to update mobile number.
Remember to expand both templates.
My notes that maybe useful
- Use genuine data cables
- Don’t use non-geniune data cables, (from experience a hit and miss)
- Delete SMS,MMS phone memory & master reset before connecting
- To check modem status use wvdial (yum it) and use command 'wvdialconf newconffile' to run
- Restart sms3 service with every modem connection to the box
Modems working - Australia
- Nokia 6230, 6310, 6210
- Wavecom WMOD2A-G900 (GSM modem works well)
- Motorola V3
Modems not working - Australia
- Nokia 5110 (you need gnokii emulator)
- Any Nokia that uses DKU-5 data cable (no Linux driver)
To do
- Have email2sms working
- Auto restart service after usb connection
Tested on 7.1.1,7.1.3 and 7.2
Any comments,suggestions are appreciated.
Regards
Steve
