NAME
gammurc - gammu(1) configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/gammurc or ~/.gammurc
DESCRIPTION
gammu(1) reads configuration from a config file. It’s location is
determined on runtime. On Unix systems, it first tries ~/.gammurc and
then falls back to /etc/gammurc.
On Windows, user configuration is tried at profile/Application
Data/gammurc and then gammu falls back to current directory
(./gammurc).
This file use ini file syntax, with comment parts being marked with
both ; and #. Sections of config file are identified in square brackets
line [this]. All key values are case insensitive.
Configuration file for gammu can contain several sections - [gammu],
[gammu1], [gammuN], ... Each section configures one connection setup
and in default mode gammu tries all of them in numerical order. You can
also specify which configuration section to use by giving it’s number
([gammu] has number 0) as a parameter to gammu(1) and it will then use
only this section.
Connection
Protocol which will be used to talk to your phone.
For Nokia cables you want to use one of following:
fbus - serial FBUS connection
fbususb - FBUS over USB cable (experimental, for Nokia
cables on Linux, including DKU-2)
dlr3 - DLR-3 and compatible cables
dku2 - DKU-2 and compatible cables
dku5 - DKU-5 and compatible cables
mbus - serial MBUS connection
If you use some non original cable, you might need to append
-nodtr (eg. for ARK3116 based cables) or -nopower, but Gammu
should be able to detect this automatically.
For non-Nokia phones connected using cable you generally want:
at - generic AT commands based connection
You can optionally specify speed of the connection, eg. at19200,
but it is not needed for modern USB cables.
For IrDA connections use one of following:
irdaphonet - Phonet connection for Nokia phones.
irdaat - AT commands connection for most of phones (this
is not supported on Linux).
irdaobex - OBEX (IrMC or file transfer) connection for
most of phones.
irdagnapbus - GNapplet based connection for Symbian phones
For Bluetooth connection use one of following:
bluephonet - Phonet connection for Nokia phones.
blueat - AT commands connection for most of phones.
blueobex - OBEX (IrMC or file transfer) connection for
most of phones.
bluerfgnapbus - GNapplet based connection for Symbian phones
Port Device node or address of phone. It depends on used connection.
For cables or emulated serial ports, you enter device name (for
example /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyACM0, /dev/ircomm0, /dev/rfcomm0 on
Linux, /dev/cuad0 on FreeBSD or COM1: on Windows). The special
exception are DKU-2 and DKU-5 cables on Windows, where the
device is automatically detected from driver information and
this parameters is ignored.
For Bluetooth connection you have to enter Bluetooth address of
your phone (you can list Bluetooth devices in range on Linux
using "hcitool scan" command). Optionally you can also force
Gammu to use specified channel by includig channel number after
slash.
Before using Gammu, your device should be paired with computer
or you should have set up automatic pairing.
For IrDA connections, this parameters is not used at all.
If IrDA does not work on Linux, you might need to bring up the
interface and enable discovery (you need to run these commands
as root):
ip l s dev irda0 up
sysctl net.irda.discovery=1
Model Do not use this parameter unless really needed! The only use
case for this is when Gammu does not know your phone and
misdetects it’s features.
The only special case for using model is to force special type
of OBEX connection instead of letting Gammu try the best suited
for selected operation:
obexfs - force using of file browsing service (file system
support)
obexirmc - force using of IrMC service (contacts, calendar and
notes support)
obexnone - none service chosen, this has only limited use for
sending file (sendfile command)
SynchronizeTime
If you want to set time from computer to phone during starting
connection.
StartInfo
This option allow to set, that you want (setting "yes") to see
message on the phone screen or phone should enable light for a
moment during starting connection. Phone will not beep during
starting connection with this option. This works only with some
Nokia phones.
GammuCoding
Forces using specified codepage (for example "1250" will force
CP-1250 or "utf8" for UTF-8). This should not be needed in most
cases, Gammu should detect it according to your locales.
GammuLoc
Path to directory with localisation files (the directory should
contain LANG/LC_MESSAGES/gammu.mo). If gammu is properly
installed it should find these files automatically.
LogFile
Path to file where information about communication will be
stored.
LogFormat
Determines what all will be logged to LogFile. Possible values
are:
nothing - no debug level
text - transmission dump in text format
textall - all possible info in text format
textalldate - all possible info in text format, with time stamp
errors - errors in text format
errorsdate - errors in text format, with time stamp
binary - transmission dump in binary format
For debugging use either textalldate or textall, it contains all
needed information to diagnose problems.
Features
Custom features for phone. This can be used as override when
values coded in common/gsmphones.c are bad or missing. Consult
include/gammu-info.h for possible values (all GSM_Feature values
without leading F_ prefix). Please report correct values to
Gammu authors.
Use_Locking
On Posix systems, you might want to lock serial device when it
is being used using UUCP-style lock files. Enabling this option
(setting to yes) will make Gammu honor these locks and create it
on startup. On most distributions you need additional privileges
to use locking (eg. you need to be member of uucp group).
This option has no meaning on Windows.
EXAMPLE
There is more complete example available in Gammu documentation.
Gammu configuration for Nokia phone using DLR-3 cable:
[gammu]
port = /dev/ttyACM0
connection = dlr3
Gammu configuration for Sony-Ericsson phone (or any other AT compatible
phone) connected using USB cable:
[gammu]
port = /dev/ttyACM0
connection = at
Gammu configuration for Sony-Ericsson (or any other AT compatible
phone) connected using bluetooth:
[gammu]
port = B0:0B:00:00:FA:CE
connection = blueat
Gammu configuration for phone which needs to manually adjust Bluetooth
channel to use channel 42:
[gammu]
port = B0:0B:00:00:FA:CE/42
connection = blueat
