How to configure OP5 to send SMS via Telit HT910G

Connect

  • Add your SIM card to the Telit GSM modem and attach it via USB port to your server.
  • To find the port where your GSM modem is attached, execute the following script after you’ve marked it as executable.

#!/bin/bash
for sysdevpath in $(find /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*/ -name dev); do
(
syspath=”${sysdevpath%/dev}”
devname=”$(udevadm info -q name -p $syspath)”
[[ “$devname” == “bus/”* ]] && continue
eval “$(udevadm info -q property –export -p $syspath)”
[[ -z “$ID_SERIAL” ]] && continue
echo “/dev/$devname – $ID_SERIAL”
)
done

# ./listdev.sh/dev/ttyACM0 - Telit_wireless_solutions_Telit_Wireless_Module_351579057468926/dev/ttyACM1 - Telit_wireless_solutions_Telit_Wireless_Module_351579057468926/dev/ttyACM2 - Telit_wireless_solutions_Telit_Wireless_Module_351579057468926/dev/ttyACM3 - Telit_wireless_solutions_Telit_Wireless_Module_351579057468926/dev/ttyACM4 - Telit_wireless_solutions_Telit_Wireless_Module_351579057468926/dev/ttyACM5 - Telit_wireless_solutions_Telit_Wireless_Module_351579057468926/dev/ttyACM6 - Telit_wireless_solutions_Telit_Wireless_Module_351579057468926/dev/input/mouse2 - VMware_VMware_Virtual_USB_Mouse/dev/input/event4 - VMware_VMware_Virtual_USB_Mouse/dev/input/js0 - VMware_VMware_Virtual_USB_Mouse/dev/input/mouse3 - VMware_VMware_Virtual_USB_Mouse/dev/input/event5 - VMware_VMware_Virtual_USB_Mouse

Take a note of the device-path (/dev/ttyACM0)

Configuration

/etc/smsd.conf: This sample configuration file works fine in our productive environment on a SIM card without PIN code enabled – if you need to configure a PIN (if enabled) try configuring “pin=” . Make sure you use the correct device-path from above (device=/dev/ttyACM0) at “device=”.

# Example smsd.conf. Read the manual for a description
# once your configuration is OK, set log level lower (5 is good in most cases)
devices=GSM1
logfile=/var/log/smsd/smsd.log
loglevel=8
user=root
infofile=/var/run/smsd/smsd.working
pidfile=/var/run/smsd/smsd.pid
# 3.1.5 introduced smart logging
smart_logging=yes

 

[GSM1]
init=ATE0
incoming=no
rtscts=no
cs_convert=yes
report=no
mode=new
device=/dev/ttyACM0
pin=0014
baudrate=115200

Testing

Configure your hyperterminal session by using minicom -s

# minicom -s

Select “Serial port setup”

Make sure your settings looks like this (A – Serial Device must match the path from above, E – Bps/Par/Bits must be 19200 8N1 or 115200 8N1). Press ENTER to save your setting.

Select Exit to open the connection to the GSM modem

The connection is initalized

The connection is open, the GSM modem is ready to receive commands

Send SMS by using AT commands. NOTE: In this example we have removed the PIN of the SIM card, if the PIN is still present make sure you are properly authenticated – additional details please see the chapter ‘PIN codes by using AT commands’ below)ATOKAT+CMGF=1 -----> set message format, see AT referenceOKAT+CMGS="+41796316771"> Hello World!><PRESS CTRL-Z to send the message>
+CMGS: 255OK

To exit minicom press CRTL-A and then x or q.

Services

Make sure the smsd service is enabled to start on boot# chkconfig --list smsdsmsd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:off 6:off

Enable the service on boot for runlevel 3,4 and 5 by using the following command# chkconfig smsd on

To start/stop the service use following command# service smsd stop# service smsd start

Make sure the smsd service is running by using the command line
# service smsd statussmsd (pid 1476 1475) is running...
Or check the service status via OP5 webbased GUI

Make sure you can send a SMS message by using OP5 webbased GUI.

To send SMS notifications, make sure your contacts have filled out the ‘Pager’ information

Troubleshooting

CMS Error: 314

AT+CMGS="+41796316771"+CMS ERROR: 314
CMS Error: 314 usualy means the device is busy and you have to try later again. Sometimes you can try as long as you want, you wont become able to send messages. If this is the case try to reset your GSM modem by using following command and try again afterwards, you may have solved the problem with that.

AT&F

CMS Error: 500

CMS ERROR: 500 is unfortunately a very generic error message. Try to send an SMS directly without storing it to the SIM.

AT+CMGS    ‘ Send an SMS directly without storing to the SIM
AT+CMGW   ‘ Writing an SMS to the SIM card and then send the SMS
AT+CMGR    ‘ By using the CMGR command you can verify if the SMS is written to SIM and it’s current status

Read your configured Service-Center number configured on your SIM card to send SMS messages (for example the number of Swisscom)AT+CSCA?
+CSCA: "+41794999000",145

If the number is not correctly configured then change it by usingAT+CSCA="+41794999000",145
OK

PIN codes by using AT commands

If you have a PIN code enabled SIM card and want to remove / disable the PIN code by using AT commands, then follow these commands. Suppose 9546 is the current PIN code, replace 9546 with your PIN code. Query the state of the SIM card by using the CPIN? command and remove the SIM code afterwards.

AT+CPIN?
+CPIN: SIM PIN ----> pin codes need to be entered
OK
AT+CPIN="9546"
OKAT+CLCK="SC",0,"9546" ----> disable pin code
OKAT+CPIN?
+CPIN: READY

Attached some examples about PIN and PUK management:
AT+CLCK="SC",1,"0000",1 ---->When you want to set pin code "0000"
OK
--Reboot module
AT+CPIN?
+CPIN: SIM PIN
OK
AT+CPIN="0000"
OK
AT+CPWD="SC","0000","1234" ---->When you want to change the pin code to "1234"
OK
--Reboot module
AT+CPIN?
+CPIN: SIM PIN
OK
AT*PSPRAS?
*PSPRAS: 3,10,255,255
OK
AT+CPIN="7777" ---->Input the wrong pin code will reduce the available try times
+CME ERROR: incorrect password
AT*PSPRAS?
*PSPRAS: 2,10,255,255
OK
AT+CPIN="1234"
OK
AT+CPIN?
+CPIN: SIM PUK
OK
AT+CPIN="44753796","1234" ---->When you want to input the PUK code after you input 3 times of the wrong pin.
OK

GSM connection state details

Check for Received Signal Strength & Quality

AT+CSQ
+CSQ: 13,1

Wait for the response in format: +CSQ: <rssi>, <ber>

<rssi>
Integer from 0 to 99 indicates the received signal strength. NOTE: Signal strength less than 6 indicates only 1 antenna bar, the quality of a connection will be poor and the connection may even drop.

<rssi> value Signal strength  Indication (for devices with a User Interface (MMI)) 
0 -113 dBm or less Signal is VERY low: at the extreme sensibility limit
1 -111 dBm MMI may indicate only 1 antenna bar
2 -109 dBm MMI may indicate only 1 antenna bar
3 -107 dBm MMI may indicate only 1 antenna bar
4 -105 dBm MMI may indicate only 1 antenna bar
5 -103 dBm MMI may indicate only 1 antenna bar
6 -101 dBm MMI may indicate 2 antenna bars
7 -99 dBm MMI may indicate 2 antenna bars
8 -97 dBm MMI may indicate 2 antenna bars

12 -89 dBm MMI may indicate 3 antenna bars
13 -87 dBm MMI may indicate 3 antenna bars
14 -85 dBm MMI may indicate 3 antenna bars
15 -83 dBm MMI may indicate 4 antenna bars
16 -81 dBm MMI may indicate 4 antenna bars
17 -79 dBm MMI may indicate 4 antenna bars
18 -77 dBm MMI may indicate 4 antenna bars
19 -75 dBm MMI may indicate 4 antenna bars
20 -73 dBm MMI may indicate 4 antenna bars
21 -71 dBm MMI may indicate 4 antenna bars
22 -69 dBm MMI may indicate 4 antenna bars
23 -67 dBm MMI may indicate 4 antenna bars
24 -65 dBm MMI may indicate 4 antenna bars
25 -63 dBm MMI may indicate 4 antenna bars
26 -61 dBm MMI may indicate 4 antenna bars
27 -59 dBm MMI may indicate 4 antenna bars
28 -57 dBm MMI may indicate 4 antenna bars
29 -55 dBm MMI may indicate 4 antenna bars
30 -53 dBm MMI may indicate 4 antenna bars
31 -51 dBm or more MMI may indicate 4 antenna bars
99 not detected MMI may indicate flashing antenna bars

<bet>
Integer from 0 to 7 and 99 reports the received signal quality measured on the radio traffic channel (error bit rate in percent)

Check if device is registered to the network

AT+CREG?
+CREG: 0,1

Wait for response in the format: +CREG: <mode>, <stat>

<mode>
0 GSM
2 UTRAN

<stat>
0 – not registered, ME is not currently searching a new operator to register to
1 – registered, home network
2 – not registered, but ME is currently searching a new operator to register to
3 – registration denied
4 – unknown
5 – registered, roaming

Overall overview

“battchg” – battery charge level – battery charge level indicator range 0..5
“signal”   – signal quality – signal quality indicator, range: 0 to 7, 99 – not measurable
“service” – service availability – service availability indicator, range: 0 – not registered to any network, 1 – registered

AT+CIND=?
+CIND: (("battchg",(0-5,99)),("signal",(0-7,99)),("service",(0,1)),("sounder",()

GSM Equipment and Network Error Codes

When controlling GSM devices using AT commands, the device can respond with either “OK” or “ERROR”. Sometimes you will receive an error and you do not know the cause of this error. That’s why most advanced GSM devices support extended errors. Instead of just displaying the “ERROR” message, it also shows an error number. The syntax of this extended error is either “+CMS ERROR: xxx” or “+CME ERROR: xxx”. When the error starts with “+CME ERROR”, it means that the error is a device specific error code. For instance, you are trying to read a phonebook entry before entering a pincode. When there is a network error, for instance, when you try to send an SMS message when there is no network coverage, you will receive an error which starts with “+CMS ERROR”. To enable these extended commands, execute the following commands, or add them to your modems init string:

AT+CMEE=1 AT&W

Below you can find a list containing almost every error code supported by GSM devices.
