Hi everyone,
I would realy appreciate your help and guidense with a problem I have. Im trying to set up a SMS Gateway as a alert system for my network. Although the Aircard is picked up as a usb device and has a driver in the kernel, it does not have a /dev/XXX device name. So my question is how do I create this /dev/XXX device and make it persistent.
I have installed CentOS as my base with smstools-3.0.10-4.el5.i386.rpm as my application.
[root@odie ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.2 (Final)
[root@odie ~]# uname -rvpi 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 12:03:43 EST 2008 i686 i386
[root@odie ~]# rpm -qa | grep smstools smstools-3.0.10-4.el5
The config file for this software looks like this
[root@odie ~]# cat /etc/smsd.conf # Example smsd.conf. Read the manual for a description # #devices = (eg. GSM1) #logfile = /var/log/smsd.log #loglevel = 7 # #[GSM1] #device = /dev/ttyS0 #incoming = yes #pin = 1111 # devices = (eg. CDMA1 or GSM1)
logfile = /var/log/smsd.log
loglevel = 5
[CDMA1]
device = /dev/ttyUSB0 <==== How do I check this and what about after a reboot ... can I force it to stay the same?
incoming = yes
baudrate = 115200
The hardware is a Compaq nc 8000 laptop (The laptop will be located in my server room ...) I have installed a Mobile broadband data PCMCIA card ==> Sierra Wireless AirCard 580 from our local telecom provider
