Hi! I have few questions regarding NowSMS: 1) I am unable to process the 2-way SMS. The HTTP request is being sent, but I am not getting anything SMS or other fields. The HTTP command is as follows http://192.168.36.100/smscommands.php?sender=@@SENDER@@&fullsms=@@FULLSMS@@&recipient=@@RECIP@@ The HTTPD log shows something like this: 192.168.36.12 - - [15/Mar/2006:14:32:38 -0800] "GET /mycommands.php?sender=&fullsms=&recipient=9294567211 HTTP/1.1" 200 22 "-" "Now SMS/MMS Gateway v5.51 (b20040823)" Though this is the case, the PHP returns some or the other text but thats not being sent to the sender. 2) How do I view the log files of what SMS has been set to which number and when. Does NOWSMS Store the data somewhere. For reference: 1) I am able to send message to a number through the web interface, thats working perfectly fine. 2) My Settings are as follows: Phone: Samsung SGH-500 (Sigmatel IRDA, recognises as standard modem over IRDA) GSM Modem Properties: Phone Number: 9294567211 (Thats the number given to my modem) SMS Access: Default Recieve SMS Messages (Checked) SMS Message Storage: Direct to Modem Routing: Support any outbout message traffic (Checked) Preferred SMSC connection for: * (I dont have any other modems or connections) 2-Way SMS Support Settings: Processe Recieved SMS Messages (Checked) SMS Command Prefix: * Recieve Phone Number(s): <blank> Command to Execute: http://192.168.36.100/smscommands.php?sender=@@SENDER@@&fullsms=@@FULLSMS@@&recipient=@@RECIP@@ Command returns response text (Checked) SMS Command Prefix: ST Command to Execute: c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c echo Echo @@SMS@@ Command returns response text (Checked) In both the cases I am not getting reply messages. Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong. Regards, Yaswanth | |||

Hi Yaswanth, It certainly looks like you have configured everything correctly. Could you enable the SMSDEBUG.LOG? (Easiest way to do this is via the checkbox option on the "Serial #" page.) I'd like to see an SMS message being received and routed to the 2-way command in this log file. My suspicion is that there is something unusual about the format of the SMS message coming in via that phone. But we should be able to get a clear picture from the SMSDEBUG.LOG. -bn | |||

Hi Bryce, This is my SMSDEBUG.LOG. It says that the server is sending data in text/html format (I will correct it). But what I am not able to get is, the arguments @@SMS@@ and @@FULLSMS@@ are not being sent to the server properly. Previously atleast @@RECIP@@ was being sent properly, now even that is not being sent. Waiting for your reply. ----------- SMSDEBUG.LOG ----------------------- 03:49:47:189 [4] ModemReceiveMessages: 91198954800710040C9119899421691500006030123025724015D4F29C0E6A97E7F3F0B90C0ACF41 F2329C9D070000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 03:49:47:189 [4] ModemReceiveMessages: SMSC address len = 145 03:49:47:189 [4] ModemReceiveMessages: SMSC Address = 984508700140C019919849129651000006032103522704514D2C9E0A6797E309BC0A0FC14223C9D9 70000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 03:49:47:189 [4] ModemReceiveMessages: SMS Message Type = SMS-DELIVER 03:49:47:189 [4] ModemReceiveMessages: Sender address len = 0 03:49:47:189 [4] ModemReceiveMessages: Sender Address = 03:49:47:189 [4] ModemReceiveMessages: PID = 00 03:49:47:189 [4] ModemReceiveMessages: DCS = 00 03:49:47:189 [4] ModemReceiveMessages: Anticipated user data length = 0 03:49:47:189 [4] ModemReceiveMessages: Message = 03:49:47:970 [3] ThreadProcessInboundSMS: Processing 441F2A55.in... 03:49:47:970 [3] GetProgramToExecute: http://192.168.36.100/mycommands.php?sender=&fullsms=&recipient= 03:49:47:970 [3] ThreadProcessInboundSMS: Executing http://192.168.36.100/mycommands.php?sender=&fullsms=&recipient= 03:49:47:970 [3] RetrieveURL: Retrieving http://192.168.36.100/mycommands.php?sender=&fullsms=&recipient= 03:49:48:270 [3] RetrieveURL: Retrieving mycommands.php?sender=&fullsms=&recipient= 03:49:48:270 [3] RetrieveURL: GET /mycommands.php?sender=&fullsms=&recipient= HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: Now SMS/MMS Gateway v5.51 (b20040823) Accept: */* Connection: Close Host: 192.168.36.100 03:49:48:571 [3] HttpResponseWait: Ok 03:49:48:571 [3] RetrieveURL: got success response 03:49:48:571 [3] RetrieveURL: text/html; charset=UTF-8 03:49:48:571 [3] ThreadProcessInboundSMS: Command not completed.

Just converted the above binary (PDU) data to Text and I understand that the Text and Sender data is coming NULL. I have no clue of why this is happening. I am using Samsung SGH 500 as my GSM modem. Any idea why I am not getting the text properly? Is it a problem with the service provider or is it the problem with the phone?? Regards, Yaswanth | |||

Hi Yaswanth, I would suspect a problem with the phone. That's why I wanted to get a look at the raw PDU that is coming in. We have encountered a few phones that make slight encoding errors that we try to work around. In this particular case, it looks like the modem is not including the SMSC address correctly. It should have a length field present. Based upon my tests, if 07 were present as the first byte, indicating the length of the SMSC address, then everything would be ok. (Well, except that all of the 00 null characters might cause some confusion.) But I don't see any easy way of programmatically detecting this problem and correcting for it in a generic way. So, I'd have to recommend a different phone. Although you might be able to make some progress by forcing NowSMS to use the modem in a text mode only ... as the modem might just have a bug in its PDU mode implementation. To force NowSMS to use the modem in text mode, edit SMSGW.INI, and under the [Modem - driver name] section, add ModemTextMode=Yes. Then restart the service. You won't be able to send/receive any binary message types, but you might be able to send/receive text messages. -bn | |||
