<p>
The config file is /etc/smsd.conf. You may specify another file using the option -c.
During installation an easy example file will be copied to <b>smstools3/examples</b> directory.
</p>
<p>
The config file has the following structure:
</p>
<p><ul>
<table border=1 bgcolor=lightgrey><tr><TD>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">
<br>
<a href="#global">some global settings</a> <br>
<br>
<a href="#modem">[first modem name]</a> <br>
... <br>
<a href="#modem">[second modem name]</a> <br>
... <br>
<a href="#modem">[third modem name]</a> <br>
... <br>
and so on <br>
<br>
</font>
</TD></tr></table>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
Configuring the <a href="configure2.html">provider-sorting</a> is shown in different document.
</p>
<p>
In case of yes/no settings, you can use the following keywords:
<p><ul><b>
yes , no<br>
true , false<br>
on , off<br>
1 , 0<br>
</b></ul>
</p>
<p>
After version >= 3.1 also "no" values should be typed correctly, "no" is no more a default.
</p>
<p>
In case of lists, you need to use the comma character to separate items. Example: modem1, modem2, modem3
</p>
<p>
After version >= 3.1 multiple different values can be defined for each setting.
If smsd is started with command line argument -a (ask), settings with multiple choices are prompted and
suitable value can be selected for a run. For example:<br>
<ul><b>devices = ? GSM1 | GSM1, GSM2, GSM3 | GSM88, GMS99</b></ul>
A question mark tells that more than one value is defined.
Possible values are separated using pipe.
In this example the smsd will prompt:<br>
<ul><b>Value for "global devices" (Enter for the first value, 0 to exit):<br>
1) GSM1<br>
2) GSM1, GSM2, GSM3<br>
3) GSM88, GMS99<br>
4) Other<br>
Select 1 to 4:<br>
</b></ul>
When smsd is started without -a, first value is always choosen.
</p>
<p>
After version >= 3.1.5 only whole line comments are allowed. For example:<br>
<i># This comment line is valid.</i><br>
<i>devices = GSM1 # This kind of comment is invalid.</i><br>
</p>
<p>
After version >= 3.1.5 default settings for all modems can be defined in the <b>[default]</b> section.
If setup has large count of similar modems, almost all settings can be defined once in [default] section and only device depended
settings like <i>device</i> are required to define in the modem sections.
In the future versions this will replace all modem settings which are now defined in the global part of configuration.
</p>
<p>
As "default" is now reserved name, it cannot be used as a modem name.
</p>

<p>
<i><b><a name="g_checkhandler">checkhandler</a> = filename</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: not in use.</font><br>
External program that checks if a message file is valid.
(This script can also be used to convert message file from UTF-8 to ISO format, which is internal format used in smsd.
See scripts/checkhandler-utf-8 for sample code.)<br>
After version >= 3.0.9 the smsd converts messages automatically from UTF-8 to ISO, if it is necessary.<br>
If the checkhandler return a non-zero (other than 2) exitcode the message will not be sent.<br>
With the smsd version >= 3.1 the checkhandler can also modify a message file.<br>
Exitcode 2 means that the checkhandler has moved a message to the spooler by itself.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_date_filename_format">date_filename_format</a> = format string</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: compatible with previous versions.</font><br>

<i><b><a name="g_eventhandler">eventhandler</a> = filename</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: not in use.</font><br>
Specifies an external program or script that will execute whenever a message was sent, received or failed.<br>
(If your locale is UTF-8, you can use this script to convert received messages from smsd's internal format (ISO) to UTF-8.
See scripts/eventhandler-utf-8 for code sample.)<br>
After version >= 3.0.9 there is <i>incoming_utf8 = yes</i> setting available.
Using this setting the external conversion is not required.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_executable_check">executable_check</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>

This setting defines if all executables are checked during the startup check.
Usually eventhanler, alarmhandler etc. are shell scripts or some other single files which can be executed and therefore checked simply.
If using a settings like <i>eventhandler = /usr/local/bin/php -f /usr/local/bin/smsd_eventhandler.php</i>,
the check will fail and smsd will not start unless <i>executable_check = no</i> is defined.

<i><b><a name="g_hangup_incoming_call">hangup_incoming_call</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.5.
If set to <i>yes</i> and detected unexpected input contains "RING", incoming call is ended.
Use modem setting <i>voicecall_hangup_ath</i> to define if "ATH" is used to make hangup instead of "AT+CHUP".
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_ic_purge_hours">ic_purge_hours</a> = number</b></i><br>

These settings defines how concatenation storage is purged when <i>internal_combine</i> is used
and messages with missing parts are received.
Storage is checked every <i>ic_purge_interval</i> minutes.
If there are message parts older than defined with <i>ic_purge_hours</i> and/or <i>ic_purge_minutes</i> settings,
message parts are deleted. If <i>ic_purge_read</i> is <i>yes</i>, message is stored to the incoming folder.
In this case there will be only one part in the file and a header <i>Incomplete: yes</i> indicates that message is broken.
Value 0 for both <i>ic_purge_hours</i> and <i>ic_purge_minutes</i> disables this feature.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_ignore_exec_output">ignore_exec_output</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.7.
Defines if an unexpected output from eventhanders is ignored.<br>
Usually eventhandlers should not output anything.
If there is some output, it usually means that some error has occurred.
These errors are often problematic, because that output cannot be seen and error is therefore not notified.
Smsd will print any output from the evenhandlers to the log file.
This output can also be used for debugging purposes, but usually debugging should be done by running eventhandler manually.

<i><b><a name="g_keep_filename">keep_filename</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>yes</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1. If this is set to no, an unique filename is created each time
when a message file is moved from directory to another directory. This ensures that any previously sent message file
is not overwritten, even if the original filename was the same. Also if an user has created filename with space
character, this creates a new name without spaces and therefore spaces can't effect to operation of an eventhandler.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_keep_messages">keep_messages</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: no.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.5.
This is for testing purposes. Smsd runs as usual but messages are not removed from the modem.
After all messages are read, smsd will stop. Use this with one modem only.

Available from version >= 3.0.9.
With this setting a details of character set conversions (outgoing UTF-8 to ISO conversion and incoming GSM/ISO to
UTF-8 conversion) is printed to the log.
If smsd is compiled using DEBUGMSG definition, details are also printed to the console.
Logging feature can be useful if you have some troubles with characters and like to know what exactly happens inside the smsd.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_logfile">logfile</a> = filename</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: empty.</font><br>

<p>
This setting can be overridden by the <i>-l</i> (ell) command line argument.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_loglevel">loglevel</a> = number/word</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>4</i> for logfile, <i>7</i> for syslog.</font><br>
Sets the verbosity of a log file.
</p>
<p>
This affects also syslog.
If you want all messages in syslog, you need to set it to "7" (or higher) here and "*" in the config file of syslog.

Without this setting status report messages are stored to the Incoming Folder.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_saved">saved</a> = directory</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: not in use.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1. Path of the Saved Folder.
If defined, smsd will store concatenation storage's to this directory (otherwise incoming directory is used).
At startup check existing concatenation storages are moved from incoming directory to saved directory.
Zero sized files are ignored.
If both directories has a storage file with data, fatal error is produced and the smsd does not start.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_sent">sent</a> = directory</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: not in use.</font><br>

Defines which shell is used to run eventhandler and other external scripts.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_smart_logging">smart_logging</a> = yes/no</b></i>.<br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.5.
This feature is available when file based logging is used.
If <i>loglevel</i> is less than 7 (for example "notice" is a good choise with smart_logging),
trouble log (with loglevel 7) about whole communication is written to different file if there has been any errors.
</p>
<p>
"Whole communication" means sending single SMS, receiving single SMS, and other things what smsd will do after idle time is spent.
When communication starts, all possible log lines are collected to internal buffer and only <i>loglevel</i> lines are written to the <i>logfile</i>.
If during communication there are any errors, all collected lines are printed to trouble log when communication reaches it's end.
</p>
<p>
This feature was made because with loglevel 7 logfile grows very much and fast, and debug level is not usually needed when there was no any errors.
In case of errors it's important to see whole communication, not just a single line which says that "error happened".
</p>
<p>
File name is created with the rule: if lenght of <i>logfile</i> setting is more than 4 characters and setting ends with ".log",
trouble log filename will end with "_trouble.log".
If length is less than 4 or setting does not end with ".log", trouble log filename is <i>logfile</i> appended with ".trouble".
In usual cases <i>logfile</i> is <b>/var/log/smsd.log</b> and trouble log filename will be <b>/var/log/smsd_trouble.log</b>,
or in some (Debian, Ubuntu, ...) distributions: <b>/var/log/smstools/smsd.log</b> and <b>/var/log/smstools/smsd_trouble.log</b>.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_stats">stats</a> = directory</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: not in use.</font><br>
Specifies the directory where smsd stores statistic files.
The directoy must exist before you start smsd.
If not given, then the program does not write statistic files.
After version >= 3.1.1 message counter files are stored to this directory even if smsd is compiled without statistics enabled.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_stats_interval">stats_interval</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>3600</i>.</font><br>
Smsd writes statistics files every n seconds.
Value 0 disables statistics but counters are still updated if stats directory is defined.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_stats_no_zeroes">stats_no_zeroes</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no</i>.</font><br>
Smsd does not write statistic files when no message was sent or received (Zero-Counters) if this is set to yes.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_status_include_counters">status_include_counters</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>yes</i>.</font><br>
<i><b><a name="g_status_signal_quality">status_signal_quality</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>yes</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.5.
These settings define if message counters and explained signal quality is included in the line of <i>status</i> file.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_status_interval">status_interval</a> = number</b></i>.<br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>1</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.5.
If statistics function is enabled and <i>stats</i> directory is defined, smsd writes file named <b><i>status</i></b> into this directory.
The file contains status of all modems in the first line using <i>Status:</i> header (this is similar than smsd -s outputs to console) and
explained status in the next lines using modem's name as a header.
Smsd writes status file every <i>status_interval</i> seconds if a status has changed. Value 0 disables this feature.
</p>
<p>
For example, the output is like:
<pre>
Status: 09-05-27 20:46:17, irir------------
SONERA: 09-05-27 20:46:09, Idle, 123, 0, 321, ssi: -63 dBm, ber: < 0.2 %
ELISA: 09-05-27 20:46:12, Receiving, 234, 0, 432, ssi: -73 dBm, ber: < 0.2 %
DNA: 09-05-27 20:46:06, Idle, 456, 0, 543, ssi: -77 dBm, ber: < 0.2 %
SAUNALAHTI: 09-05-27 20:46:14, Receiving, 678, 0, 654, ssi: -69 dBm, ber: < 0.2 %
</pre>
Timestamp value tells when status is created or modem initialization was last started.
</p>
<p>
Status can be: (s) Sending, (r) Receiving, (i) Idle, (b) Blocked, (t) Trouble, (-) Unknown.
Trouble -status means that something abnormal has happened and if smart_logging is in use, trouble log will be written.
</p>
<p>
Counters are: sent, failed, received.
Sent counter is the value from <i>stats/<modemname>.counter</i> file. Smsd does not clear this value.
Failed and received counters are from original statistics data and they are cleared each time when stats are stored (<i>stats_interval</i>), or smsd is restarted.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_store_original_filename">store_original_filename</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>

</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_suspend">suspend</a> = filename</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>not in use</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.7.
With this file, any modem process can be suspended.
When a process is suspended, the modem port is closed and modem process does not do anything.
</p><p>
The file is checked before smsd starts sending or receiving.
If a name of the device is found from the file, suspend will start.
The format of a line in file is: <b><devicename>: <reason></b>.
Colon is needed, but the <reason> is optional.
It is printed to the log.
A special line <b>ALL: <reason></b> can also be used, and this affects for all modem processes.
</p><p>
When a process is suspended, the file is checked every ten seconds, or more frequently if the <i>delaytime</i> value is smaller.
</p><p>
When a process is suspended, it listens a signal SIGUSR2.
If this signal is received, modem process will send and receive messages <u>once</u>.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_terminal">terminal</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no</i>.</font><br>

</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="g_umask">umask</a> = value</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>empty</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.7.
Effective umask for smsd can be set in the configuration file.
Value can be hexadecimal, decimal or octal format.
</p>
<p>
Next four settings are available from version >= 3.0.2:<br>
<i><b><a name="g_user">user</a> = username</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: not in use.</font><br>
<i><b><a name="g_group">group</a> = groupname</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: not in use.</font><br>
<br>
If the smsd is started by the root, these two settings can be used to switch smsd to run as an unpriviledged user.<br>
As of version >= 3.0.9, if <i>user</i> is set but <i>group</i> is unset, that user's normal groups (e.g. from
/etc/groups) are used.
This means you can allow other users on the system access to write messages to the outgoing spool without giving them
direct access to the serial port.<br>
<br>
<i><b><a name="g_infofile">infofile</a> = filename</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>/var/run/smsd.working</i>.</font><br>
<i><b><a name="g_pidfile">pidfile</a> = filename</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>/var/run/smsd.pid</i>.</font><br>
<br>
Location of <i>infofile</i> and <i>pidfile</i> can be changed with these settings.
This is usually necessary if the smsd is running as an unpriviledged user.
If a sms3 script is used to start and stop the smsd, these settings should be defined in the script.
<br>
These four settings can be overridden by the command line argument(s):
<ul>
<li>-ix set infofile to x</li>
<li>-px set pidfile to x</li>
<li>-ux set username to x</li>
<li>-gx set groupname to x</li>

<p>
<i><b><a name="m_communication_delay">communication_delay</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>0</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.5.
Only some very problematic modems may need this setting.
Defines minimum time in milliseconds between latest answer from modem and next command which will be sent to modem.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_cs_convert">cs_convert</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>yes</i>.</font><br>
The program converts normal text messages into GSM character set. You need this to display
german umlauts and control characters correctly.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_decode_unicode_text">decode_unicode_text</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: use the global part setting.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.0. Specifies an internal Unicode decoding like in the global part.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_detect_message_routing">detect_message_routing</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>yes</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.5.
By default smsd tries to detect if a modem is in message routing mode.
Before sending a command smsd listens if some data with routed message is available.
Also, after a command is sent, smsd checks the answer.
In both cases, if there is one or more routed message coming, a notification is written to the log and alarmhandler is called.
Routed messages are saved and handled later when smsd can do it.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: This checking is done to avoid errors and loss of messages.
Routing mode SHOULD NOT BE USED in normal operation.
With routing mode it is NOT quaranteed that all messages are delivered.
Some devices are in routing mode by default and this feature helps to detect it.
Use <i>init = AT+CNMI=...</i> with suitable values to disable routing mode.
Values depend on modem, see the manual of a modem for details.
All received messages must be stored to the message store which is usually "SM" (SIM card memory).
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_detect_unexpected_input">detect_unexpected_input</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>yes</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.5.
Before any command is sent to the modem, smsd checks if there is some unexpected input.
For example some modem may send new message identification (CMTI) if settings are incorrect.
Any unexpected input will be logged.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_device">device</a> = name of serial port / definition of internet host</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: empty.</font><br>
Specifies the device name of the serial port or internet host to the modem.
GNU/Linux example: /dev/ttyS0. Windows example: /dev/com1 or /dev/ttyS0. Solaris example: /dev/cuaa. Network modem example: @10.1.1.1:5000.
<br><br>
After version >= 3.1.7 this setting can define a socket if starting with character @.
Format for the internet host is: <i>@<host_or_ip>:<port></i>.
Host definition can be name or IP address.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_device_open_alarm_after">device_open_alarm_after</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>0</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.7.
After defined number of retries, an alarmhandler is called.
Smsd still continues trying, if <i>device_open_retries</i> value is bigger.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_device_open_retries">device_open_retries</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>1</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.7.
Defines how many times smsd will retry when cannot open a device.
When maximum number of retries is reached, modem process will call alarmhandler and stop.
With value -1 smsd will retry forever.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_eventhandler">eventhandler</a> = filename</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: empty.</font><br>
Specifies an eventhandler script like in the global part.
If you use this variable, then this modem will use its own individual eventhandler instead of the global one.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_eventhandler_ussd">eventhandler_ussd</a> = filename</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>not in use</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.7.
This setting defines an eventhandler to use with USSD messages.
It is possible to use the same script or program which is used as <i>eventhandler</i>,
but it's not a default because basically those scripts are not compatible without modifications.
<br><br>
After an USSD message is received, and probably <i>ussd_convert</i> is done, eventhandler_ussd is called.
Smsd checks what is the current character set of a modem and creates a temporary file which contains the USSD answer.
Arguments for the eventhandler_ussd are:<br>
<table border=1 bgcolor=lightgrey>
<tr><td bgcolor=yellow valign=top> $1 </td><td>"USSD" keyword.</td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor=yellow valign=top> $2 </td><td>Filename (which contains the answer).</td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor=yellow valign=top> $3 </td><td>Devicename.</td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor=yellow valign=top> $4 </td><td>Character set.</td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor=yellow valign=top> $5 </td><td>Command what was used to get the USSD answer.</td></tr>
</table>
<p>
Eventhandler_ussd can do whatever is needed with the USSD answer.
It can also modify the answer, or delete the file.
After eventhandler_ussd returns, smsd will check if the file still exists.
If it exists, it's first line is taken as a new answer.
Modified answer is then logged and probably printed to the regular_run_statfile.
</p>
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_hangup_incoming_call">hangup_incoming_call</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.5.
If set to <i>yes</i> and detected unexpected input contains "RING", incoming call is ended.
Use modem setting <i>voicecall_hangup_ath</i> to define if "ATH" is used to make hangup instead of "AT+CHUP".
This setting overrides global setting.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_incoming">incoming</a> = no/yes/high or 0/1/2</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no</i>.</font><br>

</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_max_continuous_sending">max_continuous_sending</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>300 (5 min)</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.5.
This setting is in seconds and defines how long modem can send messages without doing anything else.
After <i>max_continuous_sending</i> time is reached, received messages are checked and other tasks are run.
This setting overrides global setting.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_memory_start">memory_start</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>1</i>.</font><br>

<p>
<i><b><a name="m_message_limit">message_limit</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: not in use.</font><br>
<i><b><a name="m_message_count_clear">message_count_clear</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: not in use.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1. Message_limit specifies the maximum number of messages to send.
After this limit is reached, no more messages will be sent until the smsd is restarted or message counter
is cleared by the message_count_clear setting. The value of this setting is minutes.<br>
If <i>admin_to</i> is specified, an administrative message is sent when the limit is reached.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_mode">mode</a> = old/new</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>new</i>.</font><br>
Specifies version of modem command set.
Almost everybody needs to use this as a "new".
<p>
From version >= 3.0.9 this effects mainly to the sending side. In the receiving side the incoming PDU is checked,
and if it does not match to the selected mode, another mode is tried automatically.
<p>
<table border=1 bgcolor=lightgrey>
<tr><TD bgcolor=yellow valign=top> old </TD>
<td>For Falcom A1 and maybe some other old modems of GSM phase 1 (1990-1995).<br>

</td></tr>
</table>
(SCA stands for Service Centre Address).
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_modem_disabled">modem_disabled</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.0.9. This is for testing purposes too.<br>
Whole messaging system including eventhandlers etc. can be tested without any working
modem existing. Sending of messages is simulated in the similar way than with <i>sending_disabled</i> setting.
Incoming messages are taken only from the file, if <i>pdu_from_file</i> is defined.
No any communication is made between smsd and modem, but a device setting should still exist because smsd wants to
open and close a device.
If in you testing environment you do not have a priviledges to the usual modem device,
like /dev/ttyS0, you can use a definition like <i>device = /tmp/modemfile</i>.
If this file exists and is writable for the process owner, it's enough for smsd.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_ms_purge_hours">ms_purge_hours</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: 6.</font><br>
<i><b><a name="m_ms_purge_monutes">ms_purge_minutes</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: 0.</font><br>
<i><b><a name="m_ms_purge_read">ms_purge_read</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: yes.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.5.
These settings are used only with SIM600 (or compatible) modems (<i>check_memory_method</i> 5).
If multipart message is received with one or more parts missing, incomplete message is removed from the message storage after time defined.
Time is calculated from the timestamp of the first available part.
Value 0 for both settings disables this feature.
Setting <i>ms_purge_read</i> defines if parts are read before they are deleted.
If <i>internal_combine</i> setting is used, parts are stored to the concatenation storage.
If missing part(s) are later received, there will be similar timeout before parts are purged.
After this the messsage is complete and is stored to the incoming folder.
See also global settings <i>ic_purge_*</i>.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_needs_wakeup_at">needs_wakeup_at</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.7.
After being idle, some modems do not answer to the first AT command.
For example with BenQ M32, there can be OK answer, but in many times there is not.
To avoid error messages, smsd first send AT and read the answer if it's available.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_smsc">smsc</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: not in use.</font><br>
Specifies the SMSC number that this modem should use to send SM.
You need this setting only if the default of the SIM card is bad.
Write the phone number of the SMSC in <u><b>international format</b></u> without the starting "+".
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_outgoing">outgoing</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>yes</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.0.9.
Specifies if a modem is used to handle and send outgoing messages.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_pdu_from_file">pdu_from_file</a> = filename / directoryname/</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: not in use.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.0. This is for testing purposes.<br>
You can test you eventhandler and some other things without actually receiving a message from the modem/phone.
This is especially important when it's not possible to receive the same message again because the sender cannot be reached.<br>
You may have the original PDU string stored to the incoming messsage file, or you may see it in log file (depending of the loglevel).
This PDU string can be stored to the <i>pdu_from_file</i> named file, and when this file exists the smsd will read the PDU from there.
Rest processing will be done similarry than with normally received messsages and you can then debug possible problems
and see when they are fixed.<br>
This file can contain empty lines and comment lines starting with # character.<br>
Actual data can be stored as one line containing the PDU string, or two lines containing (first) the modem answer
and (second) the PDU string.<br>
For example:<br>
<font size="1">#2006-09-13 13:12:10,7, GSM1: <- <br>
+CMGR: 0,,40<br>
0791531811111111240C9153183254769800F1609031314174211854747A0E4ACF416110BD3CA783DAE5F93C7C2EBB14</font><br>
or simply one line only:<br>
<font size="1">079153181111111106BC0C91531832547698609031314174216090313141842100</font><br>
<br>
<b>NOTE:</b> After this file is processed, it is <b>removed</b>.
<br>
After >= 3.0.9 the setting can be a directory.<br>
If this setting ends with a slash and a directory with that name exists,
file(s) are read from this directory (and deleted after processing).
All files found from the given directory are processed one by one, expect hidden files (name begins with a dot).
When this setting points to the directory, no dot's are allowed in any position of a path.
Be very careful with this setting while it will delete the content of a whole directory.
<br>
After >= 3.0.9: while reading a PDU from file, a first line starting with PDU: and space is taken if any exists.
<br>
After >= 3.1.5: this can be used only with check_memory_method values 0 or 1.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_phonecalls">phonecalls</a> = yes/no/clip</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.
Specifies if missed phonecalls are reported.
After version >= 3.1.7 a value <b>clip</b>, or <b>2</b> can be used.
This value could be used with modems which do not support reading of phonebook,
or phobebook cannot be used because entries cannot be deleted.
Phocecall is detected using the <i>+CLIP Calling line identification report</i> from a modem.
</p><p>
When <i>phonecalls = clip</i> is used, a setting <i>hangup_incoming_call</i> is automaticatty set to yes.
This is because smsd <u>must</u> hangup a call before it's handled.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_phonecalls_purge">phonecalls_purge</a> = yes/no/command</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.7.
Specifies if missed phonecalls are removed using a purge command.
Value <i>yes</i> specifies that <b>AT^SPBD="MC"</b> command is used, this works with some Siemens based devices.
Other command can be given as a value.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_pin">pin</a> = 4 digit number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: not in use.</font><br>
Specifies the PIN number of the SIM card inside the modem.
See also <i>pinsleeptime</i>.
<br>
Note after version >= 3.1.1: Even if a PIN is not defined, it's still checked if a PIN is needed.
Some phones may give an incorrect answer for the check when a pin is not needed, like <i>SIM PIN2</i> or <i>SIM PUK2</i> instead of <i>READY</i>.
In this case define <i>pin = ignore</i> to skip the whole PIN handling procedure.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_pinsleeptime">pinsleeptime</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>0</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.0.9. Specifies how many seconds the program will sleep after a PIN is entered.
Some modems do not work without some delay.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_phonecalls_error_max">phonecalls_error_max</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>3</i>.</font><br>

<font size="1">Default value: not in use.</font><br>
<i><b><a name="m_secondary_memory_max">secondary_memory_max</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: accept what device returns.</font><br>
These three settings are used to control dual-memory handler, available from version >= 3.0.<br>
If your modem/phone receives messages to the Mobile Equipment (ME) memory after the SIM memory (SM) has been filled up,
with dual-memory handler messages can be read from the Mobile Equipment memory too.<br>
Defining secondary_memory_max is needed, if your device does not tell how much there is space in the Mobile Equipment memory.
For example the Nokia 6210 does not tell (it returns 0 as max value) and with this device 150 is reasonable value.<br>
From version >= 3.1, multiple parameters can be defined for memories, like SM,SM,SM.
Double-quotation marks are not necessary to use in the string.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_priviledged_numbers">priviledged_numbers</a> = list of numbers</b></i><br>

<p>
<i><b><a name="m_queues">queues</a> = list of queue names</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: not in use.</font><br>
Specifies the Provider Queues that this modem shall serve.
Use the same provider names as in [queues] and [providers].
If you do not use the provider-sorting feature, then leave this line out.
After version >= 3.1.5 special keyword <b>modemname</b> can be used, it's replaced with a name of modem.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_read_timeout">read_timeout</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: 5.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.5.
When smsd reads data from a modem, timeout will occur after <i>read_timeout</i> seconds if an acceptable answer is not received.
Some very slow devices might need greater value than 5 seconds.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_regular_run_cmdfile">regular_run_cmdfile</a> = filename</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>not in use</i>.</font><br>
This file can contain command lines which smsd will write to the modem.
Modem result of each line is logged and written to the regular_run_statfile (if defined).
After a file is processed, it is removed.
If you need to use permanent commands on each run, use regular_run script to create this file or
define commands using regular_run_cmd settings.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_regular_run_cmd">regular_run_cmd</a> = string</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>empty</i>.</font><br>
Like regular_run_cmdfile, this string can be used to define modem commands.
This setting can be used more than once to define multiple commands.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_regular_run">regular_run</a> = filename</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>not in use</i>.</font><br>
<p>
<b>Regular_run for a modem is available from version >= 3.1:</b>

If a log file is not defined, smsd's main log is used.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_regular_run_loglevel">regular_run_loglevel</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>LOG_NOTICE</i>.</font><br>
Defines a level of logging.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_regular_run_post_run">regular_run_post_run</a> = filename</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>not in use</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.7.
This setting can define the second script or program which is executed regularly.
The same script with <i>regular_run</i> can be used.
The script gets an argument <i>$1</i> which is <i>PRE_RUN</i> for <i>regular_run</i> and <i>POST_RUN</i> for <i>regular_run_post_run</i>.
There is also the second argument <i>$2</i>, which includes a definition of <i>regular_run_statfile</i>.
<br>
<br>
This is how the regular_run for a modem currently works:
<ul>
<li>If <i>regular_run</i> is defined, it's executed with arguments <i>PRE_RUN</i> and <i>regular_run_statfile</i>.
A modem is closed while the script is running.
<i>regular_run_statfile</i> is available from the previous run.
</li>
<li><i>regular_run_statfile</i> is deleted.
</li>
<li>If <i>regular_run_cmdfile</i> is defined and the file exists, commands from this file are sent to the modem.
If <i>regular_run_logfile</i> is defined, results are written to the file.
If <i>regular_run_statfile</i> is defined, results are written to this file too.
NOTE: <i>regular_run_cmdfile</i> is deleted after commands are handled.
Use PRE_RUN phase or an external process to create this file.
</li>
<li>If <i>regular_run_cmd</i>, one or more, is defined, commands are sent to the modem.
Results are logged and written to the statfile, if defined.
</li>
<li>If <i>regular_run_post_run</i> is defined, it's executed with arguments <i>POST_RUN</i> and <i>regular_run_statfile</i>.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_regular_run_statfile">regular_run_statfile</a> = filename</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>not in use</i>.</font><br>
If defined, results of commands are written to this file.
Old file is cleared before each run.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_report_device_details">report_device_details</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no/ues</i>.</font><br>

<i><b><a name="m_report">report</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no</i>.</font><br>
If you enable this, the program requests a status report SM from the SMSC for each sent message.
This does not work on many mobile phones and on some modems.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_routed_status_report_cnma">routed_status_report_cnma</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>yes</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.7.
Defines if +CNMA acknowledgement is needed to send after routed status report was received.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_rtscts">rtscts</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>yes</i>.</font><br>
You can disable usage of hardware handshake wires by setting this option to "no".
Please don't use this feature in commercial applications because
the hardware handshake wires ensure proper communications timing between the
computer and the modem.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_send_delay">send_delay</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>1</i>.</font><br>
If your modem does not support hardware handshake you should use the lowest possible baudrate to ensure that the
program does not run faster than the modem can do. However, if the lowest possible baudrate is still too fast, then you
can use this parameter to make it even slower.
A value of 300 means that the program waits 300 milliseconds between sending each single character to the modem
which makes the program very slow.<br>
From version >= 3.1.5, value 0 means that whole string is sent at once without any delays.
This resolves slow communication with LAN based multiport servers, like Digi Portserver II.
If, for some reason, "tcdrain" is still needed after sending, use value -1.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_sending_disabled">sending_disabled</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.0. This is for testing purposes.<br>
You can test your eventhandler and whole system around the smsd without sending any messages to the GSM network.
All other functionality is working as usual, so this is some kind of "mute" to the modem.
However the modem should be connected and working.
This does not have an effect to the incoming messsages.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_socket_connection_alarm_after">socket_connection_alarm_after</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>0</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.7.
After defined number of retries, an alarmhandler is called.
Smsd still continues trying, if <i>socket_connection_retries</i> value is bigger.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_socket_connection_errorsleeptime">socket_connection_errorsleeptime</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>5</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.7.
Defines how many seconds the smsd will sleep after an error with socket connection.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_socket_connection_retries">socket_connection_retries</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>11</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.7.
Defines how many times smsd will retry when a socket connection fails.
When maximum number of retries is reached, modem process will call alarmhandler and stop.
With value -1 smsd will retry forever.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_start">start</a> = modem command</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>not in use</i>.</font><br>
<i><b><a name="m_startsleeptime">startsleeptime</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>3</i></font><br>
<i><b><a name="m_stop">stop</a> = modem command</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>not in use</i></font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.7.
If defined, <i>start</i> command is sent to the modem when a modem process starts.
After a command is sent, <i>startsleeptime</i> is spent.
When a modem process is stopping, <i>stop</i> command is sent to the modem.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_status_include_counters">status_include_counters</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>yes</i>.</font><br>
<i><b><a name="m_status_signal_quality">status_signal_quality</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>yes</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.5.
These settings define if message counters and explained signal quality is included in the line of <i>status</i> file.
Modem setting overrides global setting.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_unexpected_input_is_trouble">unexpected_input_is_trouble</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>yes</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.5.
With smart_logging, this setting defines if unexpected input activates trouble log.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_using_routed_status_report">using_routed_status_report</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.7.
Smsd can detect routed status reports, but usually it's not recommended to use them.
Modems should store status reports as an ordinary messages, which can be read when smsd will need them.
However, some modem cannot store status reports, and therefore routing is the only way to get them.
With this setting smsd will change some severity and text of a logging.

<p>
<i><b><a name="m_ussd_convert">ussd_convert</a> = number</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>0</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.7.
Defines if a text part from incoming USSD message is decoded.
Possible values are:<br>
<table border=1 bgcolor=lightgrey>
<tr><td bgcolor=yellow valign=top> 1 </td><td>Unicode format is converted to UTF-8. This requires that USE_ICONV is defined.</td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor=yellow valign=top> 2 </td><td>GSM 7bit packed format is converted to ISO or UTF-8.</td></tr>
</table>
<p>Decoded text is appended to the original answer with two slashes and one space character.
</p>

<i><b><a name="m_voicecall_cpas">voicecall_cpas</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: no.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.7.
Defines if AT+CPAS is used to detect when a call is answered.
This is required if modem returns OK immediately after the call.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_voicecall_hangup_ath">voicecall_hangup_ath</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.5.
Defines if <b>ATH</b> is used to hangup call instead of <b>AT+CHUP</b>.
This setting overrides the setting in the global part.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_voicecall_ignore_modem_response">voicecall_ignore_modem_response</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.5.
When a voicecall is ringing, some devices give OK answer after couple of seconds even if a call is not yet answered.
With this kind of device DTMF tones cannot be sent.
If a ringing time is defined in the message file (using <b>TIME: n</b>), the waiting loop is breaked too soon.
To avoid this, use <i>voicecall_ignore_modem_response = yes</i> in the modem settings.
With this setting call rings n seconds (if not answered) and after this voicecall is over.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_voicecall_vts_list">voicecall_vts_list</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.3.
Defines how VTS command is used to create DTMF tones:
<i>yes</i> = AT+VTS=1,2,3,4,5 (list is used), <i>no</i> = each tone is created with single command like AT+VTS="1";+VTS="2" etc.
</p>
<p>
<i><b><a name="m_voicecall_vts_quotation_marks">voicecall_vts_quotation_marks</a> = yes/no</b></i><br>
<font size="1">Default value: <i>no</i>.</font><br>
Available from version >= 3.1.7.
Defines if quotation marks are used when sending VTS command to the modem.
NOTE: previously quotation marks were used, now this setting default to <i>no</i>.
