how to send/receive sms by OpenVox G400P

14 years 3 months ago #4343 by james.zhu
hello:
OpenVox G400P can be implemented to send or receive sms. I will introduce few possible ways to get the features work.
1) To receive the sms, there is a patch to get sms and store that in text format under asterisk logs,
customers can use script to parse that and save to somewhere. please refer this link:
http://bbs.openvox.cn/viewthread.php?tid=981&extra=page%3D1
2) To send sms, there are few things users have to consider:
2.1) the generation of content of sms, users have to store sms in a file.
2.2) the ways to send sms, from GUI or by dialplan.
here, i use dialplan to send sms. before starting the configurations, users have to go though:
1) perl and asterisk::AGI are installed. users have to download the asteriskAGI module.
asterisk-perl-1.01.tar.gz , unzip that and follow the readme.text to install that.
2) Make sure G400P is working, edit the dialplan in this way:
=============extensions.conf===============
;
[globals]
CONSOLE=Console/dsp ; Console interface for demo
;CONSOLE=Zap/1
;CONSOLE=Phone/phone0
IAXINFO=guest ; IAXtel username/password
;IAXINFO=myuser:mypass
TRUNK=Zap/G2 ; Trunk interface
sms_test="Test OpenVox G400P by james.zhu" ; default sms, users also can read the file using asterisk cmd and pass the value to the variable.
;
[from-gsm]
exten =>s,1,Answer()
exten =>s,n,Dial(sip/500)
[from-internal]
exten =>1000,1,Dial(zap/1/10000)
exten =>1000,2,Hangup()
exten =>200,1,Dial(zap/3/10000)
exten =>200,2,Hangup()
exten =>300,1,Dial(zap/5/10000)
exten =>300,2,Hangup()
exten =>400,1,Dial(zap/7/10000)
exten =>400,2,Hangup()
exten => _135.,1,AGI(gsm_sms.agi|${EXTEN}|${sms_test})
exten => _135.,n,hangup
========================
in this dialplan, if users dial 13570XXXXXX, the agi will be executed and pass to values(${EXTEN}|${sms_test} to gsm_sms.agi. the gsm_sms.agi file must be stored into
/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin, and make sure it is executable with asterisk permission.
this is the sample file called: gsm_sms.agi:
========gsm_sms.agi=================

# Date:12/10/2009
# include Asteisk AGI, install it first
use Asterisk::AGI;
$AGI = new Asterisk::AGI;
# default channel, use it send sms
my $channel = 3;
# the handphone number user dialed
$number = $ARGV[0];
# the sms user wants to send
$context = $ARGV[1];
# the command line to send sms by asterisk
# asterisk -rx 'gsm send sms 3 1357080XXXX "hello, this is openvox gsm card"'
#print "asterisk -rx 'gsm send sms' $channel $number $context";
# Perl system call
system("asterisk -rx 'gsm send sms $channel $number $context'");
==============================
please take a note there, i am testing with span 3, please modify that for your needs.

GSM 3: SMS sent successfully on span 2.
==========================================
other possible solutions to send sms using G400P:
1) use asterisk cli system command: asterisk -rx 'gsm send sms 3 1357080XXXX "hello, this is openvox gsm card"'
2) save the command above into the bash file, run the system command to launch the sms.
3) send sms from GUI(PHP, i do not test that), users can login the GUI and fill in a form, which contains message and the phone numbers users want to send to, after submitting, the php file will transfer the context to a bash file. the system will be executed and send that through asterisk -rx command.

here, i give users an example of using dialplan to send SMS with few static variables. i believe it should be very possible to send sms from GUI, system commands or other solutions.
