MPortLink
MPortLink (modem port link) is designed to track connected USB modems and create permanent symbolic links to ports.
MPortLink was developed for direct use of several USB modems when connected to Asterisk telephony, the ports of which were randomly determined by the operating system. The utility allows you to create permanent symbolic links to devices, regardless of the order in which the ports of the USB modem device were defined.
Based on ModemManager.
Dependency
The installed modemmanager
is required for use.
Build
libmm-glib
library is required for the build. It is called differently in different distributions, for example: libmm-glib-dev
or libmm-glib-devel
.
After installing the dependencies, you just need to run the script build.sh
and mportlink
will be built in the build
project directory.
Manually
gcc -Werror -Wall -Os src/*.c `pkg-config --libs --cflags mm-glib` -o mportlink
Using
Superuser rights are required to work. Start the daemon and connect your USB modem. In journalctl
you will see his work. Links to the ports of the connected modem will be created in the /dev/dongle
directory.

To-Do
Currently, the utility is linked to the ModemManager server, through which the connected modems are identified. It is planned to disconnect from this server, as there is a problem with the capture of the device and the unavailability of using Asterisk.
