Today I had a chance to test Huawei E173 USB dongle and it works perfectly on my Mint Linux. All I had to do was to plug it in and turn on via network manager applet.
I wanted to test this dongle with CentOS 6 and the main idea was to use this device for SMS monitoring. Using online SMS providers is much cheaper and easier (a bunch of APIs) but the online services are useless when your network is disconnected.
There are a lot differences between RH based server distros and the new/cutting edge distro like Mint. To be honest, I expected the problems with CentOS.
The first thing was to check the USB dongle
Ops… the device is detected as USB storage which I didn’t expect (and I don’t want).
After some googling I discovered that the first thing I need to do is to install usb_modeswitch and smstools packages. The first package will be used to switch USB dongle from usb storage into modem mode. The second one will be used for SMS operations.
In the moment I tested this, I was far away from the server and I couldn’t try the simple plug/unplug method. The solution was to invoke the next command
As the output recommended, I tried again with lsusb
Also, after this step, you should have
I found that the settings file /etc/smsd.conf (for SMSTools) should be something like this:
You can find more information about the configuration parameters on the next link http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/index.php?p=configure
Start smsd service with service smsd start
To send SMS message go into /var/spool/sms/outgoing/ dir and create the file testSMS (for example) and add the next content inside
The other option is to use smssend command.
In case that something doesn’t work, check the logs inside /var/log/smsd/ dir.
