Hello everyone,
I am new here , I was wondering if it is possible to install asterisk on a GSM gateway to manage the gateway that has TELIT and WAVECOME GSM modules.
Managing includes routing rules, managing the sim cards etc all functions of a sim server.
What operating system does your GSM gateway run?
Are the GSM hardware modules supported under Linux?
What do you mean by “all functions of a SIM server”?
Antony.
Hello Antony and thanks for your reply,
- What operating system does your GSM gateway run?
- Debian.
I certainly expect you can install Asterisk on it, then.
- Are the GSM hardware modules supported under Linux?
- GSM modules are Wavecom and TELIT.
Well, if these are working on the system already running Debian, then I assume
the answer to my question is “yes”. I’m not sure which Asterisk modules oyu
would need to build / load / configure to work with such devices, though.
If you can provide more hardware details of what these things are (eg: output
of lsusb or lspci, kernel modules already loaded by whatever software is
currently using them, etc) then someone may be able to comment.
- What do you mean by “all functions of a SIM server”?
- A sim server can manage sim cards by applying rules on them, like time to
be assigned, number of attempts per sim card, create intercalling between
sim cards , generate incomming calls on sim cards, etc.
Assuming you can find an appropriate channel driver for Asterisk to be able to
talk to these, then I expect you can implement all the above functions in your
dialplan or with some trivial external scripts.
Remember that Asterisk itself does nothing “useful” until you have created a
dialplan and told it what you want it to do. It’s like a plumber’s toolbox -
all the things you need to install a heating system are there, but you have to
put the parts together.
Antony.
