NEWS FLASH: (/113) 2.11 Beta 1 Release is Out (/news/2012-11-05/2-11-beta-1-release-is-out) - I know a few of you w ere at our presentation at Astricon and may have gotte...
Hey all, I've seen that Asterisk supports chan_dongle (http://code.google.com/p/asterisk-chandongle/ (http://code.google.com/p/asterisk-chan-dongle/) ) for using a Huawei usb gsm datacard as a GSM/SMS gateway. I wonder if anybody is using this with freepbx, and if it works. Just in case it is compatible, I just wonder how to configure the dongle as a trunk via the Freepbx GUI (Custom trunk? If yes, with what custom dialcodes?). Thanks in advance for any help Rgds Carlo __________________

Hi Carlo! Chan_dongle works with freepbx, you will need install asterisk-addons, asterisk-devel, get source of current freepbx asterisk release (1.8.15.0) and compile chan_dongle, Usage is via custom trunk: dongle/dongle0/$OUTNUM$
I forgot to mention, you will need change context in dongle.conf from "default" to "fromtrunk"
noob. could you tell me how to route GSM trunk to IVR? thank you in advance. solution: exten => s,1,Goto(from-trunk,${DID},1) but keypress not responding.
Thanks ! (/forum/freepbx/general-help/usb-gsm-modem-as-atrunk#comment-55225)

Thanks, Matapaca! I'm gonna try it as soon as I get proper dongle from ebay! Thank you very much Carlo
Hi Mapataca, Really pleased that you got Chan_dongle to work for you !!! I tried installing it after untaring (chan_dongle-1.1.r10 (/trac/changeset/10) .tgz) on my system built from the AsteriskNow2.0 iso file package which uses linux centOs 5, but I just couldn't get the dongle to work! I configured & installed the package with: # ./configure --with-asterisk=/usr/include # make # make install Note that the location for "asterisk.h" is "/usr/include" on my AsteriskNow2.0 install. Then copied the dongle.conf file to "/etc/asterisk/" Unfortunately, when I check for devices in "/dev/" there is no ttyUSB1 or ttyUSB0 !! I even tried commenting out the lines in dongle.conf for ";audio=dev/ttyUSB1" & ";data=dev/ttyUSB0" and instead entered the correct 15-digit imei & imsi numbers for my unlocked huawei E1550 from the "Etisalat" mobile provider. But still no device shows up when I run "*CLI> dongle show devices". Could you please help me on where I went wrong? Since you have your dongle up and running I'm sure I can't go wrong with your help !! Thank you in advance. Awaiting your reply.
