USB Device Configurations in Cygwin

USB Device Configurations in Cygwin

[Waqar Ahmad]

I am trying to configure Kannel on Windows Vista using Cygwin.
Installation is successful. What I don't know is how to configure a mobile
device connected on USB port in Cygwin.

I am using Nokia E51 as GSM modem connected via USB cable. This device
shows up in Windows Vista Device Manager as connected on COM18. How
should I specify settings in the kannel.config so that I can use E51
as GSM Modem? I tried “device = COM18″ and also “device = /dev/COM18″
but they don’t work.

I get following error:

INFO: AT2[/dev/com18]: opening device
2009-07-21 15:36:32 [8128] [6] ERROR: AT2[/dev/com18]: open failed! ERRNO=2
