RE:3 questions
Hi I have 2 questions. 1- under mandrake, how do I connect to the modem (on com 2) to set it up with AT commands ? I'm not quite sure what you mean, but if you want to access WML pages with mobile phone, go to the userguide and read the Appendix C. It gives you the basics. 2- Can someone show me a bit of his kannel.conf regarding the settings of the modem (speed, CNMI = 1,2,0,0,0 and others) What version of kannel are you using? The latest snapshot versions ( and maybe 1.1.6 ) support AT2 module and include keyword. with this include keyword in your configuration file you can include file called modems.conf. It has definitions for many modems. Again documentation is your friend. I couldn't make it (I use a wavecom) I think there is also stuff for wavecom. 3- How do I stop kannel from automatically send an answer when it receives an sms ? Assuming you mean sending SMS back to the mobile phone. Try max-messages The total maximum of SMSes in reply. Default is 1. If max-messages is set to 0, no reply is sent, except for error messages. Straight from the user's guide ;) ilari mikkonen
sendsms
How can another program (process) use Kannel's sendsms service? The idea is to have a program which monitors something and then uses kannel to send an SMS to a monile phone. I'm running linux mandrake 8.1 ilari mikkonen
Re: sendsms
How can another program (process) use Kannel's sendsms service? The idea is to have a program which monitors something and then uses kannel to send an SMS to a monile phone. Make a socket connection to sendsms port and send HTTP request (GET or POST). Or u can send extended kannel http headers. For eg. see contrib\php-admin\functions.inc, which is written in PHP. You can do this with any other langauge like Perl, Java, C etc. I'm running linux mandrake 8.1 Hope this will help you. Regards Shridhar Raju

correct unified-prefix for UK mobile phone numbers
Hello there, I'm a little confused as to the correct 'unified-prefix' to use for UK mobile phone numbers. I wonder if someone could give me an example of how this feature works, and also of what a 'correct' unified-prefix for UK numbers would look like. Thanks very much in advance. Will.
RE: PPG Message Request Format
Aarno, Thank you for your response to my submission to the Kannel User Group. I've (hopefully) one last set of questions regarding the PUSH_URL parameter to the test_ppg program. Copied from your message, the full form of the PUSH_URL parameter is http://WAPBOX_IP_ADDRESS:PORT_OF_PPG/CONFIGURED_PUSH_URL/USERNAME=CONFIGURED _USERNAMEPASSWORD=CONFIGURED_PASSWORD. Here's my additional questions: 1. If, for testing purposes, I don't specify a username/password for PPG access, can I disregard the /USERNAME=...PASSWORD part of PUSH_URL? 2. The CONFIGURED USERNAME and CONFIGURED PASSWORD values are the ppg-username and ppg-password values, respectively defined in the group = wap-push-user entry in my kannel.conf file, correct? 3. Does the ppg-username account need to exist as a login on the host on which the PPG resides? If so, are there any requirements for the login (other than the login password being set to ppg-password, I imagine)? 4. An example of a call to 'test_ppg' on page 115 of the User's Guide shows test_ppg being called with a first parameter of http://name:port?username=foopassword=bar;. Does this mean that the CONFIGURED PUSH URL portion of the full PUSH_URL parameter is not a required portion of the parameter? 5. How is the CONFIGURED PUSH URL portion of the PUSH_URL parameter to test_ppg defined? I didn't see any examples in test_ppg.c or in the User's Guide to use as a model for this portion of the parameter. Thank you again. -Ira Rosen -Original Message- From: Aarno Syvänen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 11:42 PM To: Rosen Ira-IROSEN1 Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: PPG Message Request Format Rosen Ira-IROSEN1 kirjoittaa tiistaina, 2. heinäkuuta 2002, kello 07:22:In order to begin testing Kannel PPG functionality, I've read through the Architecture and User's Guide documents and some test source code including test_ppg.c. One way to run test_ppg is to provide a PUSH_URL as well as optional CONTENT_FILE and PAP_FILE parameters. I found a sample PAP_FILE in Kannel/PPG/push_ctrl_doc. Trivial though this will sounds to many, I'm unclear regarding the definition and usage of the PUSH_URL and CONTENT_FILE parameters. Regarding CONTENT_FILE, what does the file contain? Is it the URL that the handset will access if the subscriber confirms that they want to view the PUSH content? This is the main thing content file contains, yes. I thought this was part of the address ... entry in the push control document. This is phone number or ip used for reaching the phone (depending is the bearer SMS or CSD). Regarding PUSH_URL, what is the format of the URL? Is this something of the form: http://KANNEL_HOST_IP_ADDRESS:IP_PORT_OF_PPG;? Full form is http://WAPBOX_IP_ADDRESS:PORT_OF_PPG/CONFIGURED_PUSH_URL/ USERNAME=CONFIGURED_USERNAMEPASSWORD=CONFIGURED_PASSWORD In addition, for my initial kannel.conf file with PPG configuration information, I've stuck, for the most part, with the default configuration in the Kannel User's Guide. I'm sure to change many of these values once I begin sending PAP messages through the PPG. I'd appreciate suggestions anyone has regarding difficult experiences you've had with PPG-related configuration variables. For now, I have the following groups defined: * core * wapbox * smsbox * smsc * ppg * wap-push-user These should be enough, yes. Aarno
wap-push.cgi
List members:
I've been configuring and testing Kannel PPG functionality and have been
looking for details on the wap-push.cgi script. A list posting on 1/24/2002
states that the wap-push.cgi script is simply part of the push URL, and the
purpose of the script is to route requests to the right service.
Unfortunately, I've seen no such cgi scripts in Kannel software. Since this
sounds like an important piece of functionality for the PUSH side, does
anyone have a copy of such a script? My system is based on Debian GNU/Linux
3.0 ('woody'). I imagine, however, that any such CGI script could be
modified without too much difficulty, so if all that's available is a script
written on/for for another OS, I'd appreciate getting a chance to start with
such a script.
Thank you for your help.

Re: Trouble sending dollar symbol ($) in SMS
The $ sign in GSM character set is not 0x24. It should be 0x02. Steven Mak --- Joel Hockey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I am using Kannel 1.1.4 on win2k with a wavecom gsm modem. I am having trouble sending the dollar symbol ($), (ASCII character 0x24) in an sms message to a mobile phone. When I use fakesmsc, I see the '$' fine. When I send an sms to a nokia phone, the phone complains that the message is corrupted and will not display it. When I send it to a siemens phone, the $ is displayed as '?#39; (ASCII char 0xa4).
