TELEPATHY-RING(4)

NAME
telepathy-ring - Telepathy connection manager for GSM

SYNOPSIS
@libexecdir@/telepathy-ring

DESCRIPTION
telepathy-ring implements the Telepathy D-Bus specification for the GSM and UMTS, allowing Telepathy clients like empathy(1) to place mobile calls and send or receive SMSs. It uses ofonod(8) for interfacing with modems.

telepathy-ring is a D-Bus service which runs on the session bus, and should usually be started automatically by D-Bus activation. However, it might be useful to start it manually for debugging.

OPTIONS
There are no command-line options.

ENVIRONMENT

RING_DEBUG=type
    May be set to "all" for full debug output, or various undocumented options (which may change from release to release) to filter the output.

MODEM_DEBUG=type
    May be set to "all" for full debug output from oFono interface, or various undocumented options (which may change from release to release) to filter the output.

RING_PERSIST
    May be set to any value to avoid telepathy-ring's usual automatic exit when there have been no connections for a few seconds.
