Preferred Message Storage AT+CPMS in ME not suuported by Huawei E352

[GoogleCodeExporter]

hi!

didn't have any success using Huawei E352 together with chan_dongle. in 
Asterisk I always get the following errors.

raspbx*CLI> 
    -- [dongle0] Trying to connect on /dev/ttyUSB2...
    -- [dongle0] Dongle has connected, initializing...
    -- [dongle0] Dongle has disconnected
    -- [dongle0] Trying to connect on /dev/ttyUSB2...
    -- [dongle0] Dongle has connected, initializing...
    -- [dongle0] Dongle has disconnected
raspbx*CLI> 

this is Asterisk 11.3.0 in FreePBX 2.11.0.4 on Linux 3.6.11+ on a Raspberry Pi. 
just using the distribution of http://www.raspberry-asterisk.org/.

clearly AT+CPMS="ME","ME","ME" causes an ERROR and afterwards dongle is 
disconnected.

but Huawei E352 only supports Preferred Message Storage on SIM.

adapt your SMS handling that its not depending on where SMS will be stored.

Great. Thanks Klaus for this info.

I have simply binary patched the chan_dongle.so file an exchanged "ME" with 
"SM". 
Now the dongle (E352s-5) does not disconnect anymore.

Editing the binary worked for me as well on a E173L (VTR Chile).

Could you tell me the exact part to patch?
