Gnokii + iTegno WM1080A

In the hope that this blog post will help owners of the now-discontinued iTegno WM1080A SMS gateway device, the purpose of this post is to report that Gnokii version 0.6.18 works with it. It supports the receiving and sending of SMSes (–getsms SM <no.>, –sendsms, –deletesms), but not the –showsmsfolderstatus or any options related to SMS folders.

EDIT: A note from iTegno:

WM1080A and WM1080A+ are different modems.
WM1080A is end of line; WM1080A+ is our new product

This guide was tested for the WM1080A only. I have no idea whether it works with he WM1080+ (Google: read this as WM1080 plus). If it does, please tell the Gnokii developers, not me =)

Use the dmesg command to get the its device pathname, and edit /etc/gnokiirc:

[global]
port = /dev/ttyUSB0
model = AT
initlength = default
connection = serial
use_locking = yes
serial_baudrate = 115200
handshake = software
sm_retry = 1
smsc_timeout = 10
[gnokiid]
bindir = /usr/local/sbin/
[connect_script]
TELEPHONE = your phone number

[disconnect_script]
[logging]
debug = on
rlpdebug = off
xdebug = on

Run wait 10 seconds after every time you plug it in, or Gnokii will complain about a (supposedly) damaged or missing SIM card if you try to access it too quickly..
