Configuring Gammu FAQ
How to configure 3G/UMTS/… modem or AT capable phone?
As most modems support AT commands, this is pretty easy and you should use
at Connection. For Device you should use
device name as modem appears in your system, for example /dev/ttyACM0 or
COM7:.
Some modems expose more serial ports and you need to carefully choose the right one - for example only one of them can receive USSD notifications.
Note
On Linux, you might have to install usb-modeswitch to make your modem actually behave like a modem and not like a disk containing drivers for Windows.
Example configuration on Linux:
[gammu]
device = /dev/ttyACM3
connection = at
Example configuration on Windows:
[gammu]
device = COM12:
connection = at
How to configure Symbian based phone?
The only support for Symbian phones is using applet installed to phone and
Bluetooth connection. You should use blues60 Connection
and Bluetooth address of phone as Device. On older Symbian
phones you will have to use gnapplet and bluerfgnapbus connection.
Note
Do not forget to start the applet before trying to connect to the phone.
Example configuration:
[gammu]
device = 11:22:33:44:55:66 # Bluetooth address of your phone
connection = blues60
How to configure Nokia phone?
If you have Series 40 (S40) phone, it should work using either Bluetooth or USB cable.
For Bluetooth connection, bluephonet Connection is always
the right choice with Bluetooth address of phone as Device.
For USB cable choosing the right connection type is more tricky and depends on
generation of your phone. Newest phones usually work with dku2 and the
older ones with dlr3 as Connection.
Should you have old phone with serial cable (and USB to serial converter),
fbus Connection is the right one.
