First I would like to thank you for all the help that was given.
So to try to help others with the same challenge, I post here my
configurations, a brief summary of the
troubles I faced and how I got them solved.
OBJECTIVE
To be able to receive sms and mms thru a GSM/GPRS modem (MM1 over the
Operator MMSC), and store the media with the highest quality possible.
WHAT I NEEDED TO INTALL
In order of installation:
1. curl-7.19.6
I first tried the libcurl4-gnutls-dev package that was in my
repository (I'm doing this over an Ubuntu distro), but with it mmsbox would
shutdown right after startup without any error message.
2. Getting the source code from kannel 1.4.3
Not any problem that I know about the 1.4.0 version that is stated
on Mbuni's user guide - I haven't tested yet, but for what I need the latest
version of kannel works perfectly.
3. mBuni from CVS
You need the latest build (at least at October 1,2009) since you
need to be able to build the extra library that the mbuni1.4.0 does not
include.
4. ppp software
I am using pppd for my connection to the operator, but I guess any
other should work
COMMANDS YOU NEED TO RUN
bearerbox <kannel_config>
smsbox <kannel_config>
wapbox <kannel_config>
sudo mmsbox <mmsbox_config>
The only thing you should remember to do is run bearerbox first,
since it runs and hosts several services that the other processes will
connect to. At the moment I am not sure if the wapbox is needed but I still
run it.
ABOUT GETTING HIGH QUALITY ON MMS IMAGES
If you use the configuration I am posting below you will get mms from the
operator at the lowest quality a phone can receive mms.
To receive any picture larger than 2-3Kb, I added a line of code in
"mbuni/extras/mmsbox-mm1/mmsbox_mm1.c" adding the User-agent of a Nokia 5800
that fit my requirements.
h = curl_slist_append(h, "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.4;
U;Series60/5.0 Nokia5800d-1/52.50.2008.24;
Profile/MIDP-2.1Configuration/CLDC-1.1 ) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko)
Safari/413");
This is after line 613. This probably a good set-up that would be nice
to stay in configuration file.
MY CONFIG FILES
CONNECTING TO THE OPERATOR
You will need to tell your ppp software how to connect to your operator
Whit pppd I am able to simply do the command 'pppd call gprs' whit this
Configuration:
>>> file /etc/ppp/peers/gprs
/dev/ttyS0 # put you device here
115200 # set your modem spped here
connect 'chat -vf /home/user/ppp/chat/start-gprs'
#defaultroute
#replacedefaultroute
usepeerdns
debug
# login name to use in this conection
name <your APN login>
user <your APN login>
<<< end /etc/ppp/peers/gprs
>>> start /home/user/ppp/chat/start-gprs
ABORT 'BUSY'
ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
ABORT 'ERROR'
'' AT
OK AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","<your MMS APN>"
OK ATDT*99***1#
<<< end /home/user/ppp/chat/start-gprs
>>> file /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client server secret IP addresses
<your APN login> * <your APN password>
<<< end /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
Note that only if you run mbuni on a computer disconnected from any other
network you will need to route the connection to the right interface. You
can uncomment the replacedefaultroute on the file "/etc/ppp/peers/gprs" but
you will lose connections to IP that aren't statically routed.
In my case, my operator uses a private network with ip 10.xxx.xxx.xxx and I
use the interface ppp0, so the simplest config was this:
Add to file /etc/ppp/ip-up
# Route rules
/sbin/route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev ppp0
