Re: Source address auto detect for short code

[Andreas Fink]

you can set ton/npi in the config file. its not a good idea to hardcode this 
into the binary as it would dissalow you to send international originating SMS 
for non shortcode.

this is clearly non standard and it is not Latin1 neither. if you send } in 
UTF8 or latin1 into kannel then kannel will send 1B 29 on SMPP as thats the 
correct representaition in GSM cahracter set (DCS=0)

you send "}" and kannel does the magic. You can see this in a tcpump or a 
kannel bearerbox core logfile (set log-level=0) in the submit_sm statement.

you should look at the bytes of the "short_message" not the visual 
representation. The visual representation is } but the bytes should be 1b 29. 
Check that with wireshark.

It could probably mean that your linx command sends some odd character set 
encoding in the HTTP request. The HTTP header will specify in which character 
set the request is.
Or you have some kannel config option to nail it to a specific one. Try the 
same with a browser or wget to see if you have different results.

character set in your 

Re: patch to allow data_coding to be set to 3

[Andreas Fink]

theres no need for having the SMSC do the latin1 to GSM transcoding as kannel 
already does this.
you feed kannel with latin1 or utf8 and kannel will make GSM out of it 
automatically.

What matters at the end is what the handset receives and the GSM character set 
is hardcoded in billions of phones. You can not send latin1 to phones but you 
can send the GSM character set to phones which has a few more chars than IA5 by 
now (by the use of some escape sequence they added things like | { } if I 
remember correctly). And in GSM things are slightly differnet as @ for example 
is encoded as 0x00.

Kannel does the conversion from whatever you feed it with to the GSM character 
set. There is no need to set coding value for this. This is only needed if you 
want to send raw bytes to kannel (and thus disable the internal conversion) for 
example when you send binary data.

So the key is to have your character set properly set in your http request 
header. Kannel defaults to UTF8. So when you feed latin1 characters to kannel, 
they should be translated already correctly to GSM and have the DCS values set 
correctly.

Its nice that Vodacom's SMSC has a _proprietary_ extension to do the  
conversion in the SMSC but Kannel doesn't need it to operate correctly.

one possible reason for this is that kannel has an alternate route.
how does your allowed-smsc-id / denied-smsc-id entries look like?

Re: Kannel and FreeBSD

[Andreas Fink]

kannel runs without any issues on FreeBSD and Darwin (OS X) which is derived 
from FreeBSD.
The errors you see in the log basically mean your sockent connection drops. 
This can be a HTTP/1.1 session which closes after timeout or a SMPP connection 
which disconnects due to being idle.

So nothing wrong so far.

Re: Incorrect DLR mapping in kannel 1.5.0

[Andreas Fink]

Dear Tanja

Please dont post to multiple mailing lists at the same time.

I looked at your traceilfe  20.11.2014_11_48_08:
There’s a few things which are abnormal.

originator is empty (0x00)
destination is alphanumeric “38970ZZ”

in a DLR the originator and destination should match the original SMS send but 
be swapped in direction
Above would mean that the originator alphanumeric sender “38970ZZ send a 
message to a non existing number 0x00. That doesn’t make sense.


The SMSC identifier is FF05551a6099 which hints a 32bit/64bit integer 
conversion with negative numbers could be lurking around the corner.
This is a valid identifier but maybe not the one you originally got when 
sending the message. You should check the submit_sm_ack which matches that 
specific message to see what’s returned there. if its the same then its ok.

the status says the messasge is EXPIRED.
the network error code is 0x600 as GSM error type. However GSM-MAP doesn’t have 
such an error code. If the bits are considered as little endian instead of big 
endian, then the error code would be 06 which is absent subscriber which would 
at least make some sense.

the message indicated is not in the DLR text below. Kannel can not find this 
message as it uses message-id (also known as “timestamp”) + destination number 
to match it in the DLR database but there is no such entry (unless you send to 
a empty number).
I would question the implementation of the SMSC you are connecting to.

 I am forwarding you details, SMPP deliver_sm PDUs received from the SMSC, 
 that kannel mapped into last 3 DLRs shown above. As you can see from the 
 attached traces, DLRs are intended for completely different initiated SMSes 
 (they have different originating and destination addresses). Please note that 
 traces(tcdumps) are taken from the production environment (having commercial 
 MSISDNs)thus i had to obfuscate them in the provided traces.
 
 At your disposal for further clarifications,
 Tanja

Re: Adding epoll support to Kannel

[Andreas Fink]

the question to ask is what kind of problem are we trying to solve?

I could imagine having a SMPP driver which has one thread reading all the 
incoming packets by sitting on a single poll call dealing with all the 
connections in parallel. This reduces the amount of threads but it also 
increases the workload per thread up to the extent that multi core CPU's would 
be not so efficiently used. It depends a lot on the environment you are in as 
well. So far I have not see any performance issues with Kannel and its 
threading model.

Also epoll is not supported on my favourite operating system and seems to exist 
only under Linux.

 Am 14.11.2014 um 22:27 schrieb Porter, Kelvin R. kelvin.por...@h3net.com:
 
 Hi,
 
 Epoll generally adds a lot of complexity.  Generally, using epoll implies 
 thread-pooling, use of semaphores, etc.  Is this consideration being driven 
 by profiling indicating that the processes are somehow being thread-bound?  
 Or some other consideration?

 Hi all,
 
 Do any of you have any comments or concerns about potentially adding epoll 
 support to Kannel ?
 
 I think long term this could be used for better connection management rather 
 than the 'connection per thread' approach we currently make use of (mostly).

Re: Proposal: a more powerful SQL DLR storage

[Andreas Fink]

the purpose of the persistent storage is for temporary usage as DLR's can refer 
to SMS which have been sent a couple of days ago.
the DLR storage you want is what delivery reports are meant for and those are 
transmitted to the user requesting it
In addition to that the access logs already contains this data.
It would probably make more sense to offer a access log into SQL driver than to 
abuse the internal state cache mechanism.

 Am 07.11.2014 um 10:34 schrieb Vincenzo Romano vincenzo.rom...@notorand.it:
 
 Introduction
 Kannel has the ability to store the SMS DLRs also in SQL tables.
 The main aim for this is to provide for storage persistence against
 system crashes.
 For this reason a DB table is configured where kannel will insert
 details for submitted SMSs.
 Later, upon reaching the final status, those data will be searched and 
 deleted.
 
 Motivation
 This feature can be made more powerful with little changes to the system.
 Basically it's all about replacing the deletion with insertion at
 every single status change.
 This would create a SMS status history from which the user can
 extract an amount of useful information that's otherwise lost.
 
 Implementation
 On the software side of the feature, the code in gw/dlr.c needs to be
 changed in order to replace the calls to method dlr_remove with
 dlr_insert (or even dlr_update ).
 The underlying table needs to be supplemented at least with a real
 timestamp column (automatically calculated at every insertion) in
 order to retrieve either the latest status update or the initial
 details thanks to the ORDER BY predicate in either ASCending or
 DESCending direction.
 The actual queries used in dlr_*.c should also be reviewed in order to
 reflect thes changes, even if that can be avoided with intervention in
 the SQL with VIEWs and TRIGGERs.
 
 Note
 I recently started a thread on this topic in the users mailing list.
 It can be viewed here:
 http://www.kannel.org/pipermail/users/2014-November/021632.html
 And I have no idea on how the development organisation is done in Kannel.
 
 
 Thanks for the patience. Any feedback will be welcomed.

Re: [PATCH] Generic TLV module functions - Re: UCP/EMI to support E50_HPLMN and E50_AC

[Andreas Fink]

While we think about changing tlv, we should also think about having a set of 
tlv which you can apply to a smsc.
In my case I have like 40 instances of the same SMSC and having 20 TLV configs 
for every smsc (as you specify smsc-id in it) is creating very long config 
files.

What about 

group = tlv
name = xxx
tag = xxx
length = xxx
type = INTEGER/OCTSTR/NULLTERMINATED
vendor-id = XXX


and then under SMSC

group = smpp
vendor-tlv = xxx...

this would automatically link a certain set of tlv's to a specific smpp.
not sure if protocol is really needed in the tlv in that case.

 Hi,
 
 idea is good but TLV is SMPP specific IMHO. Therefore I would not expect this

 Patch is hardcoded on many places. If you do it generic then please do it 
 instead of just to name it so.
 I would expect generic config groups that have proto inside of group and SMPP 
 PDU just
 fetch with constant they part instead of oct_imm(smpp-tlv).
 
 so the group would be:
 
 group = tlv  (Hier we have to think about better name, TLV is confusing)
 protocol = smpp/ucp/cimd2
 name = xxx
 tag = xxx
 length = xxx
 type = INTEGER/OCTSTR/NULTERMINATED
 smsc-id = xxx;xxx1
 
 Then SMPP PDU will just fetch by proto:
 
 generic_tlv_get_by_tag(TLV_PROTO_SMPP, smsc_id, tag);
 
 
 And please avoid using typedefs it's really bad style:

 Hi Mark,
 
 thanks a lot for the patch, we appreciate your willingness to contribute.
 
 In fact I had this being tackled in a more generic way, pulling the SMPP TLV

 module that can be used by any SMSC module.
 
 Please find it attached to this mail for review and voting for commiting to

 The SMPP module is modified accordingly, along with additions for CIMD2. I'm 
 sure you will be able to add EMI/UCP too using the same function set.

there is nothing to be done about this. Kannel does stop sending if it gets a

This is part of the protocol and does not require any further config settings

Re: Throttling Error

[Andreas Fink]

This is the expected behaviour. It will retry a few seconds later.
You can see in the log that after every throttling error you got, it stops 
sending for 2 seconds.

 But it has not stopped sending. It's just resends PDU later, but still

  Yup. Alexey, you should contact your SMSC operator and ask them to modify 
  throttling limit for you to reflect your needs. (e.g. at least 
  10sms/second).
  
 It’s test connection with new SMSC. It has limit 20 sms per minute in test

this is the retry mechanism which has nothing to do with the throttling as far 
as I know.
The throttling affects a link as a whole, not an individual SMS.

Re: Throttling Error

[Andreas Fink]

FYI, the standard doesnt say how long you have to wait until you retry after 
getting a Throttled error.
It only says:

Throttling error (ESME has exceeded allowed message limits).

This type of error is usually returned where an ESME has exceeded a 
predefined messaging rate restriction applied by the operator.


If you wait 60 seconds before retrying it will slow your sending down a hell of 
a lot.
Its totally ok to retry a couple of seconds later to see if we still exceed 
allowed message limits.

There's nothing wrong with that. This is not an error. This is what it is meant 
to be.

We have two different things here:

MessageQueueFull is telling you that the SMSC doesn't want to store further 
messages going to the destination number because it can not forward them to the 
mobile at the moment because either the sim storage on the phone does not have 
space to store additional new messages (on very old mobiles) or the SMSC 
already has a certain amount of SMS to that destination in the queue and 
doesn't want to add more to avoid flooding. In other words MessageQueueFull is 
the message telling you that this specific destination number should be retried 
later.

Throttling error however does affect ALL the traffic going to the SMS, not only 
a specific destination. This is meant for flow control between the ESME to the 
SMSC. So it tells Kannel to stop back and send slower because the SMSC can or 
do not wish to process it as fast. Usually it is a rate limit set contractual 
wise and implemented technically.

So the correct behaviour is
MessageQueueFull = put the message on to the retry mechanism to retry 
again later. This affects a single number.
Throttling Error = stop for a small moment and continue again. Simply 
retry as long as  you get ThrottlingError again. This affects all messages.

If you get ThrottlingError for a messageQueueFull situation, then the SMSC is 
not correctly implementing the SMPP specs.
Our SMSC for example would give you a ThrottlingError only in two cases:

a) you exceed the configured rate limit
b) you are out of credit (in which case no further messages are accepted at 
all).

MessageQueueFull would only be returned if the mobile returns this to us 
(memory capacity exceeded).

Re: Does opensmppbox and smsbox have serious memory issues?

[Andreas Fink]

If there's a memory leak (which it looks like) it should be relatively easy to 
spot and fix.
valgrind should be able to tell you where the blocks are allocated which are 
not freed.

Hi Rene and other Kannel developers,

Hanh posted his Valgrind research to the user group for smsbox and

(The email subject is not related to this issue.)

His research shows that opensmppbox and smsbox may have serious memory
issues.
I use the word may as until others have confirmed his results, there could
be a mistake somewhere.
Is there anyone who has a test environment that can follow his approach and
confirm for the Kannel community if opensmppbox and smsbox have serious
memory issues?

His approach is:
Let me describe a little bit for my application back end. It's  pretty
simple: i make a loop that for each second, it push an sms via kannel
CGI for 1K mobile numbers, that mean throughput is 1000 msg/sec.
My kannel configuration is simple too, it's only smsbox - bearerbox
- SMSC (via smpp), no file storage, no SQL, no dlr (actually
dlr-mask=8).

For smsbox:
In the pass when using ver 1.4.3, it was fine for years. After
upgrade to 1.5.0, after each few days, i realized smsbox is reset,
then i found it exhaust my memory. It's funny that smsbox consume the
mem and doesn't release. Example, if it occupies 50% your mem and you
stop sms pushing, it will 50% forever except the box restarting.
That's all, same server with no other tasks, same back end, just
different kannel version.

Just paste the valgrind sum in here:

Re: Blocked ports for MO (generic http smsc)

[Andreas Fink]

in this context the key question is if your smsc configs for http smsc's shares 
the same receive port because for every http-smsc sending is a http client 
while receiving is a http server. Every http-smsc must have its own http-server 
as they dont know of each other. If you have two http-smscs with the same 
receive port, the described outcome could very well be as one http-smsc 
receiver thread would steal tasks from the other.

could that be your issue?

On 22.07.2013, at 22:12, Brian McCavour bmccav...@yahoo.com wrote:

 
 Hi Andreas,
 
 Thanks for your response. Sorry I was not more clear :) 
 I only have 1 http server. The modifications I've done is to add custom types 
 of http smsc. I never touched any of the underlying code however, I just copy 
 pasted the generic implementation (in smsc_http.c), and made new send/receive 
 functions per type. Then I added a few other configuration options for the 
 smsc. So all of the threading / networking code is unmodified (except what 
 I've added to try and fix this issue)
 
 From what I can understand, this 1 http server thread in kannel will do:
 Look for a new server socket, add 1 new server socket to the list of file 
 descriptors if a new socket found
 Poll given the list of FD
 Handle data
 Check if we need to close any sockets
 During startup as we're looping through SMSC in CFG (bb_smscconn 
 smsc2_start), for each http smsc it calls http_open_port_if, which should (I 
 believe?) wakeup the server thread, basicaly restarting back at 1. again.
 
 So what I expect to see, when I have 4 http smsc in my .conf is 1, 2, 1, 2, 
 1, 2, 1, 2, which each new socket connection interupting and adding its 
 socket to the list of FD, before going back to polling.
 
 What I am actually seeing through, is that it will block during the poll, and 
 the new sockets being added still in the main thread get added to the 
 new_server_sockets correctly, but the polling thread never wakes up to 
 pickup this new socket. So the fix that I did was just to move the start of 
 the http server from attempting to start it everytime you try and open an 
 http port, to just openeing it 1 time after reading in all the smsc from CFG. 
 The I changed from adding 1 socket per itteration, to add all new server 
 sockets to the FD list in 1 iteration.
 
 Maybe I am just really misunderstanding what is happening, but my hack did 
 fix the problem, so it must somehow be related.
 
 What are your thoughts?
 
 thx,
 Brian

 Subject: Re: Blocked ports for MO (generic http smsc)
 
 If I understand you right, you have some code to run virtually multiple http 
 servers which do different things?
 You must be aware that gwlib is build the way that it runs multiple threads 
 polling of the same incoming port. In other words if you run on port 80 a min 
 webserver to serve documents, then every thread waits on something to happen 
 and if an incoming data arrives any of the worker thread catches it and 
 processes it.
 As in many places inside kannel/gwlib this is done using internal pipes where 
 the waiting threads are sitting inside a poll and the thread who discovered 
 there's work to do actually writes a byte into this pipe and thus waking up 
 any or all of the waiting threads.
 
 Now if you run multiple servers, lets say on port 80 and port 443, you need 
 to separate this mechanism. Which means every group of listening threads for 
 either port must have its own pipe its listening to. If I guess correctly, 
 you have an extension built which runs multiple http servers and does 
 something with it
 
 I have used gwlib with multiple http servers without a problem. I believe 
 gwlib is doing the right thing but you might need to create a second 
 instance. But without seeing your code modifications, its impossible to 
 answer that.

 Hi,
 
 I was investigating an issue I had on my customized Kannel where only the 
 first Http SMSC, of many http smsc, would be able to receive MO. The other 
 sockets would simply hang (or so it appeared).
 
 I discovered that basically the http server thread was getting blocked on 
 the thread poll, and until I send a message through to a port that is 
 already in the list, it ill never pickup any of those requests.
 Basically, in http.c, the function server_thread() picks up the first http 
 SMSC, adds it to struct pollfd tab[MAX_SERVERS];
 Then if ((ret = gwthread_poll(tab, n, -1.0)) == -1)   will block 
 waiting for data on the socket.
 
 But if there is another server to be added afterwards, this gets called from 
 http.c: int http_open_port_if(int port, int ssl, Octstr *interface);
 Now it looks like this should wake up that polling thread, and add the new 
 port to tab data structure above, and go back to waiting

Re: Kannel 1.5 DLR - segmentation fault

[Andreas Fink]

there's two issues to solve here:
a) why are you getting a DLR for a message you have sent but don't remember.
b) why is it bailing out at this time because this should simply ignore the DLR 
in that case.


for b) we need a backtrace, a PANIC log or something like that to find out what 
is creating the segfault (PANIC does it on purpose but the panic output is what 
we must be able to see). You should compile kannel with symbols on or run it in 
gdb and do a backtrace there.

for a) this could be a config issue of all kinds or simply a bug but I guess 
it's the first. So how this is configured exactly has to be analyzed.

Maybe you can share an example of the exact URL's as passed out and back into 
kannel.

[Andreas Fink]

anyone have a clue why I get this error 512?
Its a wavecom modem. Incoming messages do work and get routed correctly. SIM is 
O2 in UK.
The devices worked with the same setting with other SIM cards.
The SIM works in a phone sending SMS.

Re: Problem with send several SMSs with kannel

[Andreas Fink]

It is recommended to send every SMS individually as if you specify  delivery 
reports or similar requirements, you need to distinguish every individual SMS 
from each other. Those things are extremely difficult if you send one message 
with 1000 destination numbers. Delivery reports will acknowledge any message, 
not a specific one as there's no way to distinguish them from each other as you 
have only one URL which is always the same one.

 Hi guys,
 
 with my company we are trying to send several (we mean something like 
 5000-1-15000
 SMS for any send) messages using SMPP and kannel (our smsc has ask us to use 
 kannel
 framework in order to connect to their SMPP server).
 
 Actually in order to make it works we have two BIG problems:
 
 [preamble]
 Looking at the kannel documentation here:
 http://kannel.org/download/kannel-userguide-snapshot/userguide.html#POSTXML
 
 it's possible to use an XML post in order to send N SMSs with one single post.
 Something like:
 
 danumber/number/da
 danumber/number/da
 danumber/number/da
 [...]
 
 The BIG questions are:
 
 1 - How it's possible setup more binfo (billing info profile) for any number 
 setup on
 this single post? It's look that is supported only 1 binfo profile for post 
 sending, with
 the problem that if I need to send SMSs worldwide, my smsc cannot distinct 
 the price of
 the SMSs.
 
 2 - In develop enviroment, while we are trying to send however this SMSs (and 
 they arrive
 on the phone) the dr (delivery report) works only sometime (and randomly).
 In fact for example if I try to send 3 smss (or more) in the way described 
 before, we
 receive sometimes only 1 dr, and sometimes non of them.
 Looking on the status of the kannel server (i mean [servername]:13000/status) 
 we have
 that the most part of the delivery report are still in queued and never 
 sended. Have you
 some ideas on why this happen?
 
 Thank you for your support.

I'm sure this can be patched to make it work. but its not really intentional to 
have a field destination address.
the data is what the user types. As this is a session, this makes sense.


You can temporary comment out this section in gw/smsc/smsc_smpp.c (line 442-464 
) to see if that works around the problem.

Re: Bulk SMS individual response for each number

[Andreas Fink]

this is conceptually not possible. If you send multiple SMS in one go, kannel 
sees this as one transaction and thus can only acknowledge one.
So the best is to send them one by one.

 In the event that I send an SMS to 2 numbers via kannel, ie to=178+179, is it 
 possible to get a separate response from kannel for each of the 2 numbers I 
 have specified? This would  mostly help in the event that one of the numbers 
 is wrong, for example in my smsbox setup I have set sendsms-chars = 
 0123456789 +- meaning that if I had to=abc that would be rejected by 
 kannel. However, when I include that wrong format in a multi-send, ie 
 to=abc+178, I do not get any error and the correct number 178 does receive 
 the SMS. So my question is, is it possible to receive from kannel a separate 
 response for each recipient?

Re: sim-buffering

[Andreas Fink]

the phone most probably doesn't support this mode. its a limit of the hardware 
you are using.
To receive lots of sms you should use reliable gsm modems or get incoming 
messages directly from an operator's smsc or from a incoming proxy provider.

 Hi Wlly Mularto
 
 Thanks for your reply. It help me very much. I have one important
 question. Sppose I am sending SMS from kannel to GSM Modems whick work as
 SMSC what number will be shown on the display of destination user? Will it
 be number of GSM Modem number or Kannel sending number? Do the modems
 Nokia Premicell, Siemens M20, Wavecom WM02-G1800 modem support networkin
 tcp/ip?
 
 Thanks in advance.


ghe gsm modems are actually not a real SMSC as it submits a SMS-MO to a real 
SMSC who then delivers it to the destination. As such the deliver over a GSM 
modem is working the same way as if you would type an SMS on a phone which 
results in the SIM card's number to be sent as originators.

Some of the modems of today do support GRPS networking (as tcp/ip). If you talk 
about access from kannel to the gsm modems, there are some devices which have a 
gsm modem built in and then present it on a ethernet (usually for IP dial-out). 
Kannel doesnt need TCP/IP to talk to the modem but a serial port. I have some 
boxes out of china which connect 16 or 32 or 64 GSM modem to a computer by a 
simple USB cable. The computer will get the same amount of serial ports which 
then can be used directly from kannel.

Re: GSM Modem is not sending SMS or even not putting into queue

[Andreas Fink]

you have 

modemtype = Bluocean

but no modem definition with that name in the config file.
Try adding this:

group = modems
id = Bluocean
name = Bluocean
speed = 115200
detect-string = Bluocean
detect-string2 = 
init-string = AT+CNMI=2,2,2,1,0
enable-hwhs = 
need-sleep = true
no-pin = true
no-smsc = false
sendline-sleep = 100
keepalive-cmd = AT
broken = false
message-storage = SM
hardware-flow-control = false
reset-string = AT+CFUN=1


You might have to play with the init string, hardware handshake, speed  etc.
Above settings is what I use with my wavecom modems which are pretty much 
following the GSM standards.

Trial and error helps there. Just set it up and watch the bearerbox logfile to 
see what kannel does do when talking to the modem and how the modem reacts. 
Especially in cases where you have lots of incoming SMS or delivery reports.

again when its delivered. The values match the request values in dlr_mask.


   3:shall we pass the dlr-url in the link of sending message beside 
 dlr_mask?

yes. Otherwise kannel doesn't know where to call you back on

   4:if the answer of 1 is yes here some code of java script that some 
 one who use kannel published it on line i want also some explain. on it 

 // This is an imaginary phone number
 var number  = +22  //  shall it change to the number we 
 send to after sending or we change it before or what?
  
 // This is the SMS content
 var text= encodeURIComponent(Hello World!) //   shall it change to the  
 message we send to after sending or we change it before or what?  
  
 // This is the URL that is called when the deliver report is received
 var dlr_url = 
 encodeURIComponent(http://localhost/my_app/recieve_delivery_report?status=%d;)
  
 // This is the default send_sms url defined by kannel
 var send_url = 
 http://localhost:13001/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=testerpassword=foobar;
  
 // This is the final send_sms link
 var link= send_url + to= + number + text= + text + 
 dlr-mask=31dlr-url= +dlr_url
  
 window.location = link
  

this looks kind of ok. You might want to add a component to the DLR url such as 
your own internal message id. Kannel will just play it back to you 1:1. So it 
can help you to find the data of the original message. A database record ID for 
example.


 finally is it work with Quescom 400 gate way device?

Can't answer that. No idea what this device is

 
 please answer me urgently as quickly as you can
 
 hope i help improving kannel.
 
 with all my best wishes and thanks.

Re: delivery report

[Andreas Fink]

if your mask is 31, you ask for values 1,2,4,8,16
Check the doc what they mean.
In other words, you only get what you asked for and SUBMIT (SMS has hit SMSC) 
is one of them

If you are only interested in final delivery/failure, then use a value of 3 
(1+2 = success + failure)

 Hi Willy,
 
 Thanks for the response. Dlr-Mask is 31. Last time we can accept the delivery 
 status success report.
 I just tried to restart the kannel and send a test SMS. Now I can receive the 
 SUCESSS delivery report after
 restarting the kannel. Do you know what cause this issues ?
 
 Thanks

 Dear Support,
 
 I have tried to set the following

 Previously we still can receive the delivery status report success 1 from 
 the dlr-url.
 
 Since last 2 weeks our system never received the delivery success report (1 
 : delivery success).
 
 Now the system only receive the following delivery status
 
 8  : smsc submit
 16 : smsc reject
 
 
 Can you please advice ?

Re: Make Gateway Errors

[Andreas Fink]

did you run ./configure ?
I've compiled kannel on Linux ARM before (on a pandaboard running Ubuntu) and 
had no problem with it.
./configure checks for various va_list variants.

Re: (RESOLVED) Make Gateway Errors

that doesn't necessary mean it will work... va_args are sometimes passed by 
value, sometimes passed by reference. it depends on the OS.

 So you should be getting the stdarg.h any minute now...you said it was an 
 easy fix? Im guessing it wasnt as easy as editing a few lines of stdarg.h, eh?
 
 I scanned some of the source so (as far as i know), i cant be rid of 
 kannel_syslog, and in the gwlib/log.c it uses it extensively, so you didnt 
 comment anything out in the log.c, right?
 
 Honestly, i really appreciate your help!

Re: at smsc bug

ok it was in fact a bug. If no modem definition was used it was accessing 
memory which was never allocated.
SVN now has a fix for it.

 If that is not a correct assumption, the expression needs to be inverted.

Re: dlr-retry-queue patch

[Andreas Fink]

Dear Kevin,

The DLR database entry is a temporary one. The Kannel instance which sends the 
submit_sm is the entity which also will get the delivery reports. So you should 
not have any issues in replication. The only reason why you would have this is 
if you have multiple kannel's on multiple machines connecting to the same smsc 
with the same user-id. The work around is simply to use different user-id's so 
the SMSC will route the delivery report back to the kannel which originally 
submitted the SMS. Then  every kannel can and should have his private DLR 
storage. Replication might be useful for backup purposes or failover but that's 
about it. Should one kannel fail, another kannel on another machine can be 
fired up with the failed kannel's username and database access to take over 
that load.

Maybe you explain better what you are trying to achieve...

 queue. In our services we are highly dependent of delivery reports. We were 
 first using a patch 
 (http://www.blogalex.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/kannel-dlr-retry.patch) 
 but we were not happy with the following:
 - blocking io thread due to the sleep implemented at dlr search level
 - preventing instant deliver_sm_resp (due also to the sleep blocking io 
 thread)
 - system wide retry, can not be configured per account
 
 As our setup is composed of several servers in a 'cluster' each server is 
 running Kannel with several smpp/emi binds and each server is writing 
 delivery reports in a local MySQL backend. We then use master-master 
 replication to spread dlr entries on all servers.
 As we have multiple servers and multiple binds its possible to get a dlr 
 through a deliver_sm before we received the submit_sm_resp containing the 
 message id or before the dlr entry is written and replicated in other db 
 servers (even with a lag  1sec).
 
 So the patch is adding a queue per smscconn and creates for each of them a 
 dedicated thread to re-process dlr that have not been found in the dlr store, 
 if not configured no queue and no thread are created. 
 
 To configure it:
 dlr-retry-count: Number of attempts to process a delivery report if not found 
 in the delivery reports store. Defaults to 0 times (disabled).
 dlr-retry-interval: This timer specifies the interval time between delivery 
 reports retries. Defaults to 60 seconds.
 
 #sample in a group = smsc  smsc = smpp:
 dlr-retry-interval = 60
 dlr-retry-count = 3
 
 
 dlr-retry-queue.patch

Patch for more detailled modem use.

Re: Kannel configuration/keywords

something like this routes everything coming in.
max-messages will make sure the answer of that URL does not get sent back 
(assuming the answers will be pushed independently instead).

 If this is possible? Please put me in the right direction.
  
 you can simply have kannel forward all your incoming data into a PHP script 
 which then looks up the database and forwards accordingly.

Re: Problem with cgi-bin/sendsms when using deferred=0

[Andreas Fink]

is 0 really current time and not 1.1.1970  maybe?

In that case the SMSC is absolutely right in rejecting a delivery in the past.

 Hi Tanja,
 
 please keep devel@ in CC...
 
 It's not really a BUG of Kannel because in SMPP it's not defined that 
 schedule_delivery_time should be in the future.
 Therefore Kannel does what you are asking for, send schedule_delivery_time 
 with current time.
 
 We can workaround it in kannel BUT it's mostly your bug to sent deferred=0 
 since you know SMSC doesn't accept it.
 
 Thanks,

 P.S. I will fix it in SVN...

you have to URL encode your bytes.
what you are doing is you are sending a text containing FF 06... characters not

Try with text= %FF%06%01...

Re: how many smsboxs can connect to bearerbox?

there is no absolute limit. All smsboxes would share the incoming MO's in a 
load sharing fashion.

Re: Sqlbox DCS problem

[Andreas Fink]

They told me that the messages where being sent with DCS=216. They told me to 
set DCS to 1 if I'm sending 7-bit messages or DCS to 3 or 0 if I'm submitting 
ISO (8-bit message).

This is not really fully correct. Check out GSM 03.38 spec for values of DCS 
(http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/03_series/03.38/0338-720.zip).
Value 216 = binary 1101 100
Which stands for

1101 = Message Waiting Indication Group
   1 = set Indication Active
   0 = reserved
   00 voicemail message waiting


In other words this message will switch on the voicemail indicator.

The voicemail indicator might not be supported on newer smartphones but older 
Nokias usually show a tape reel  (something like 0_0).
So this is a valid DCS message to go over the air.

Note: the SMPP DCS representation might not be the same as the GSM DCS 
representation in some cases.

For example your provider is saying DCS = 0 means 8 bit ISO but DCS=0 means 
default character set which is not ISO but GSM charset.
DCS=1 means 8 bit data, DCS=2 means UCS2 (UTF-16) and DCS=3 is a reserved value.

the SMPP specification lists this:

BitsMeaningNotes

0001 IA5(CCITTT.50)/ASCII(ANSIX3.4) b)

1110 reserved

 GSMmessageclasscontrol-see[GSM03.38] e) 







Notes:

a. These coding schemes are common to GSM, TDMA and CDMA. The SMPP protocol 
allows ESME applications to use the same DCS value (i.e. the GSM 03.38 value) 
for all three technologies.

b. In cases where a Data Coding Scheme is defined for TDMA and/ or CDMA but not 
defined for GSM, SMPP uses GSM 03.38 reserved values.

c. There is no default setting for the data_coding parameter.

d. The data_coding parameter will evolve to specify Character code settings 
only. Thus the recommended way to specify GSM MWI control is by specifying the 
relevant settings in the optional parameters _ms_msg_wait_facilities and 
ms_validity.

e. The data_coding parameter will evolve to specify Character code settings 
only. Thus the recommended way to specify GSM message class control is by 
specifying the relevant setting in the optional parameter dest_addr_subunit.

 I'm using sqlbox to send messages via SMPP, but I'm getting a very strange

 I've decided to use smsbox to handle the DLR via the dlr_url.
 
 So let me see if I can explain all the situations occurring.
 
 1st insertion on the database:
 INSERT INTO send_sms( momt, sender, receiver, msgdata, sms_type, dlr_mask, 
 dlr_url) VALUES ('MT', 'MV', '+3519**67', 'Hello world', 2, 31, 
 'http://my_domain/services/teste.php?type=%d%destination=91**7');
 
 As you can see, the URL has an error (it should have type=%ddestination 
 instead of type=%d%destination). This ended up in having a DLR with the 
 status of 8 (!?) not properly registered by the php script since the url is 
 malformed.
 
 2nd insertion on the database:
 INSERT INTO send_sms( momt, sender, receiver, msgdata, sms_type, dlr_mask, 
 dlr_url) VALUES ('MT', 'MV', '+3519**67', 'Hello world', 2, 31, 
 'http://my_domain/services/teste.php?type=%ddestination=91**7');
 
 This ended up in having a DLR with the status of 16 properly registered by my 
 php script (yes, it works with the dlr_url not encoded).

SMPP bug?

[Andreas Fink]

Hi folks,

I run into an issue that delivery reports from our SMSC are not correctly 
processed in Kannel. Instead of a delivery report, kannel shows a incoming SMS.
I think the culprit lies in the following code:

smsc_smpp.c line 1549

   if (pdu-u.deliver_sm.esm_class  (0x04|0x08|0x20)) {

debug(bb.sms.smpp,0,SMPP[%s] handle_pdu, got DLR,
  octstr_get_cstr(smpp-conn-id));

According to SMPP 3.4 spec section 5.2.17 0x04 means Delivery, 0x08 means SME 
Manual/User Acknowledgment but value 0x20 is not defined. However value 0x10 
would be Intermediate notification requested.


Now could it be that either someone uses 0x20 as reserved value for a specific 
purpose or simply its a typo and it should be 0x10.

Any comments?

 Hi,
 
 i have another question on opensmppbox and bearerbox.
 
 I would like to route two users who connect to opensmppbox via smpp to two 
 different smscs in the bearerbox.
 Since i understood the documentation, the routing takes the third value in 
 the smpp-logins of each value as smsbox-id for teh request.

this should be smsc-id, not smscbox-id
two different things.

 Then it passes the sms with this smsbox-id (e.g. smpp1 for sms originated by 
 user1) to the bearerbox.
 The bearerbox takes the assigned sms-route and routes the sms to the smsc-id 
 specified in the sms-route.
 
 Thats how I understood the Documentation. But with the test-scenario below it 
 doesn't work. The messages from user1 are sent over both smscs (smsc1 and

Re: Using smppbox id

[Andreas Fink]

The system type has nothing to do with the box-id.

The boxid is used to connect to bearerbox and is also used to route delivery 
reports back.
Oone box can only have one ID which is transmitted initially at connection time 
so having multiple smpp users sending this way different box-id's back would 
not make any sense at all as it would not get back due to the routing in 
bearerbox.

Secondly at the time OpenSMPPBox connects to bearerbox, the box-id is not yet 
set. In other words only the default routing is used which makes the use of 
box-id useless.

In our case we might have multiple boxes connected to one bearerbox. Such as a 
SMSBox and a OpenSMPPBox (or our own box which is in the workings). in this 
case bearerbox needs to know on which link the connection was coming from to 
send back the  delivery report through the right path.

 Once you look further in the opensmppbox documentation, you will see that

 This is to facilitate the proper return path for DLR's (and also: MO's) to
 the different ESME clients that are connected to opensmppbox.
 
 Secondly: You are right that opensmppbox-id is useless for routing purposes.
 That's why it is never used.

but the purpose of the box-id is the routing back to the proper box. That's why 
I believe this is  a bug
if you want to carry along ESME system type information to the bearerbox for 
logging or whatever, that's fine but it shouldnt be in the box-id as that has a 
clear purpose.

 Dear Kannel Friends,
 
 Hope this is the right place to ask, and that the inquiry is welcome!
 
 Am a new builder of kannel; hoping to build it on OpenIndiana - the 
 reincarnation of OpenSolaris. Right off the bat, it seem that make is having 
 trouble identifying the architecture, though configure is having no trouble; 
 it is idnetifying the system as i386-pc-solaris2.11. 

that seems somewhat correct if you run it on a i386 system.

 Have managed to determine that platform testing in configure.in is happening, 
 but really can't branch from there without 'professional guidance'! (I must 
 be getting something right, as kannel builds on Mac with no error.)
 
 Had anyone built kannel on OpenIndiana?
 
 utils/start-stop-daemon.c:94:2: #error Unknown architecture - cannot build 
 start-stop-daemon

I presume the configure file doesn't have a setting for i386-pc-solaris but 
only one for sparc solaris.
the start-stop-daemon isn't really needed anymore as kannel boxe's all have 
built-in daemonization and watchdogs.


 
 Thanks in advance, Lou

Re: [BUG] Incorrect BIND Status for given command after reconnecting

[Andreas Fink]

there's nothing wrong in the trace you sent.


connection is lost:   2011-01-13 11:46:43 [27081] [45] ERROR: System error 104:

BIND Is acknowledged: 2011-01-13 11:46:49 [27081] [45] DEBUG:   type_name:

after this, the connection is live.

so this:

2011-01-13 11:47:19 [27081] [45] ERROR: SMPP[XYZ]: SMSC rejected last command, 
code 0x0004 (Incorrect BIND Status for given command).

should never occur because the connection is in fact proper established.
This is a protocol violation on the remote side in my understanding.

What Kannel could do better is to terminate the connection if such an error is 
sent.

Re: Kannel not doign parallel processing - delay of MO senigns to HTTP trigger as logn as 30 mnts

this sounds more like your webserver is not able to handle the load.
Kannel  can handle 2000 sms per seconds. I have seen that working.

You should look deeper into your logfiles to see what's causing the delay.

 Those messages are sent in the same secundum get the same FID from the same
 emi smsc. Incoming delivery notifications must be paired not just according
 to the FID but the target phone number. I corrected the 1.4.3 Stable code
 and enclosed both the diff and the new code itself.

There are two issues with your patch:

The timestamp is not unique in EMI/UCP however using the number can be an 
issue. For example in the case I have seen, I send to 079 2457333, but the 
delivery report comes back with 0041792457333. In other words, the SMSC does do 
numberconversions which makes above code fail.

The second issue is that for all the other drivers, the ts value is unique 
and thus no other field needs to be used. I can imagine some protocols not 
coming back with any phone number but only a message-id. So those drivers would 
fail all the time.

It might be better to do a search by ts and if that returns more than 1 record, 
then search by ts+number and if that returns 0, then search for a record with 
the same last 5 digits or so.

It's not perfect but that's a limitation of EMI/UCP implementations of CMG. In 
our own SMSC, the TS value is larger and always unique which avoids the issue 
(on the other hand we always use SMPP).

Re: ç VS Ç in GSM 7 bit alphabet

[Andreas Fink]

I had this discussion a few days back.

Fact is that 03.38 specifies uppercase cedille
Fact is that Sony Ericsson show uppercase cedille
Nokia shows lowercase cedille however.

The spec is whatever the spec is. its in there since many many years and was 
never changed.

The change  I did in kannel is to accept upper and lower case and translate it 
on outgoing to 0x09 but on incoming translate it to uppercase. This at least 
means that if someone submits lowercase cedille, it gets mapped to c cedille 
(whatever the phone displays) instead of simply a c or a question mark.

 excerpts:
 
 # This table contains the data the Unicode Consortium has on how

 # This mapping is based on ETSI TS 100 900 V7.2.0 (1999-07), with
 # a correction of 0x09 to *small* c-cedilla, instead of *capital*
 # C-cedilla.
 #
 (...)
 #
 #   The ETSI GSM 03.38 specification shows an uppercase C-cedilla
 #   glyph at 0x09. This may be the result of limited display
 #   capabilities for handling characters with descenders. However, the
 #   language coverage intent is clearly for the lowercase c-cedilla, as 
 shown
 #   in the mapping below. The mapping for uppercase C-cedilla is shown
 #   in a commented line in the mapping table.
 
 I believe it is relevant to Kannel because there is to and from
 GSM 7-bit alphabet conversions in Kannel, of course, for MO/MT
 transmissions. In Kannel implementation, seemingly relevant
 excerpts from gateway-1.4.3/gwlib/latin1_to_gsm.h include:
 
 /* 0xc7 */ 0x09, /* pc: NON PRINTABLE */(Ç)
 
 and
 
 /* 0xe7 */ NRP, /* pc: NON PRINTABLE */ (ç)
 
 What do you think? Should both of these chars rather map to 0x09?
 Have you ever seen a phone displaying ç from 0x09 from a GSM 7
 bit message (me never)?

 Hello,
 I cant seem to find documentation in relation to SMPP support in

 Does Kannel support reception of SMPP operations over TCP?

It supports SMPP client use but not being a SMPP server.
In other words, kannel connects to SMPP SMSC's and can send and receive SMS but 
it does not pose a s a SMSC server. The user access API is HTTP. That's the 
purpose of kannel.


 Can someone point me towards the handling code?
 
 Basically I have an application and I want it to bind and submit 
 messages to the Kannel GW.
 The messages I want to send and test include
 o single submit operations
 o submits with SAR
 o submits with large payload
 o submit with udh

look at the kannel documentation. There's many examples there. segmentation and 
reassembly is done transparently (if configured for).

 Does Kannel support reception of SAR, UDH and so on?

yes

 Does it handle the re-assembly of the TCP payload whereby multiple tcp 
 socket reads may be required to get the appropriate stream of bytes required.

Kannel supports the reception of multiple SMS parts from more than one TCP 
socket if its considered the same SMSC (smsc-id is the same). This is also used 
to improve speed on sending when using in non windowed mode.

 
 All feedback appreciated.
 
 Thank you.

Re: Interface to bearerbox

[Andreas Fink]

simplest is to do it before submitting from the application to kannel.
no end user uses kannel direct. End users use some Apache website who then 
forwards the SMS via PHP script or something similar to Kannel. Its way easier 
to solve the issue there. Kannel does nothing else than convert it to SMPP at 
the end but on the front end you have much more information. For example if you 
decide to block a certain spammer, you simply rate limit his IP address  to a 
certain level. A human will not type 100 sms per second. So giving him 1 sms 
per 2 minutes is a viable step. You don't have that information inside kannel.

 Therefore I believe you have your answer. As Andreas says, in many countries

 I feel that the best way would be an external application/process that could

 However, I don't know how difficult it is. For MTs you would have to support 
 HTTP  SMMP (examples for the latter you can find in test/drive_smpp.c). But 
 for MOs you would have to implement pretty much most of the smscs, if you 
 plan to do something more than simple dropping. Or use the smsc-reroute 
 option to route it to your application and reintroduce it later on.

 Hello Andreas,
 
 1. A2P messaging does not come under privacy of information. Hence, it is 
 legal for us to track each and every A2P messages.
 
 2. Neither operator nor sender takes responsibility for spam in the court of 
 law, and the only liable person is the channel provider, that is us.
 
 3. We can only disconnect the client from sending further messages, and can 
 file a suit against that person for sending spam, however, TRAI, the govt. 
 body in our country strictly wants all vendors to enforce spam prevention 
 mechanisms, to identify and reject spams. So spam is indeed defined by us and 
 TRAI.
 
 4. The sending customer puts in an ALPHA sender ID, and hence cannot be 
 tracked as originator. Hence, all complaints finally has us as land point.
 
 5. Network congestion occurs, and queues build up. We often need to prevent 
 certain messages from getting delivered late hours, but send them next day.
 
 We have assembled an 8 member team to start working on the project.

 Sreekanth

 Normally what we see is that operators put pretty clear rules into their

 Hi,
 
 I will have to agree with Alvaro. Data mining, fraud, illegal and spam 
 messages are a can of worms that if kannel ever gets into, there is no way 
 out, with all legal ramifications. Not to mention a performance killer. Plus 
 a modular front end filtering would be much more flexible and customizable.
 
 For the smppbox interface I would like to stress 2 things:
 
 1) The average spammer or drug dealer won't use an SMPP connection to send 
 their messages. Upstream ESMEs will take responsibility for filtering them.
 2) An intelligent firewall could be used, one that would block all offensive 
 packages, based on content.

 Nikos

 Hi
 
 Kannel is a backend or a gateway for sending/receiving messages.
 Kannel is designed to handle huge amount of SMS traffic transparently
 to/from any external application, so you don΄t need to handle all kind
 of protocol issues.
 
 All you said is usually done through an external application of your
 own, with whom you can do all filtering/billing/features you
 need/want/desire.
 
 You do not need to patch / modify kannel for do what you want. Just
 with your own frontend will suffice.

 Hello All,
 
 We are presently engaged in using kannel as our SMPP Client, and for the
 backend of smppbox. However, the interfacing to bearerboxes has been quite
 inadequate for us.
 
 Hence, we plan to develop a viable interface to bearerbox that will/can:
 
 1. Accept connections from smppbox, smsbox, sqlbox etc.
 2. Log received MSG structs to a db pool.
 3. Select specific messages from db pool using regex.
 4. Transmit selected messages in (3) to bearerbox.
 
 Similarly, catch MO/DLR returned by bearerbox.
 1. Select specific messages from db MO/DLR pool using regex.
 2. Send back the same to smppbox, smsbox, sqlbox etc.
 
 Why all this?
 
 smppbox transmits messages directly to bearerbox.
 - There is no hold and transmit scenario.
 - Manual approval of messages is not possible (in case of spam threats).
 - In between prioritizing of messages is not possible.
 - Manual modification of data is impossible, only automates is possible

Re: DLR parsing issue with SMPP

the delivery report is ill formatted:

See Appendix B of  SMPP_v3_4_Issue_1_2.pdf

SMPP provides for return of an SMSC delivery receipt via the  
deliver_sm or data_sm PDU, which indicates the delivery status of the  
message.
The informational content of an SMSC Delivery Receipt may be inserted  
into the short_message parameter of the deliver_sm operation. The  
format for this Delivery Receipt message is SMSC vendor specific but  
following is a typical example of Delivery Receipt report.
“id:II sub:SSS dlvrd:DDD submit date:YYMMDDhhmm done  
date:YYMMDDhhmm stat:DDD err:E Text: . . . . . . . . .”


in above text there are no id: , no sub: no dlvrd: no submit  
date: no done date: so kannel can not parse it.
It looks more like the parameters are just appended after each other  
without the labels.

performance issue. Kannel for sure doesnt stop working until it got
the answer from the webserver as its written asynchronously. So it  
can

have multiple parallel requests to multiple servers (this happens
especially during WAP use). I'm not 100% sure how it handles requests
to the same server as there it can keep a connection open and reuse  
it

(HTTP Keepalive) but it for sure would not hurt your software to be
able to handle a few requests in parallel as it would give you speed.

Now, the question is, if kannel forwards the http request

What do you mean by DLR request?
Kannel asks the SMSC to report back. The SMSC will report whenever
something is happening and kannel forwards it to http.

Re: [PATCH] smsc-dlr-alias on SMSC connections

[Andreas Fink]

this is simply solvable by having two smsc's with the same ID.
If those two SMSC's are seen as a unified virtual SMSC thats what you  
do.

We were facing a problem when dealing with multiple binds to the  
same carriers.



Some of the carriers we're working with have SMSC's on  
twogeographically-distant places. They asked us to connect to both  
of them from our also replicated kannel clients.


So, we have two identical connections on each of our servers to both  
of their smsc's. This guarantees that I could use smsc=mylink on  
my send-sms url and kannel will choose one of the available links to  
send the messages.


The problem is, in this particular scenario, the DLR for that MT  
could come back from the _other_ link (which has a different id),  
so even on the same server it wouldn't be possible to match the  
incoming DLR with the records stored on the DB.


To solve this, I've created a patch that adds a new parameter to  
SMSC connections: smsc-dlr-alias. This parameter, if not defined,  
gets loaded with the value on smsc-id. If defined, that value is  
used when inserting to/reading from the dlr database, making it  
possible to find the dlr's despite being created on another bind.


Please see this post for more info and the patch:

Re: Question about dlr_add and dlr_find parameters

[Andreas Fink]

in all cases the conection name,is being passed. If I remember right  
it was mainly used for logging purposes.

apparently there where cases in EMI where conn-id was empty or so.
unifying it would make sense in my eyes.

Note: I wrote the initial implementation in SMPP and EMI/UCP. The  
CIMD2 and OISD implementations where probably added way later by  
someone else who wasnt considering the connection struct could be  
empty. Not sure when this can be but I guess this might be the case on  
incoming EMI/UCP connections to the incoming port. In contrary to the  
other protocols, EMI/UCP supports a incoming listener while in SMPP,  
the incoming packets come on a outgoing TCP connection doing a bind  
receiver (or bind transceiver). In EMI it can be done the same (in  
large account mode) but simpler  EMI implementations had a outgoing  
connection from the SMSC to Kannel.

Just a quick question: I'm checking on different smsc's  
implementations and I've noticed that, despite that dlr_add and  
dlr_find are usually called using conn-id for the first parameter  
(smsc), on some smsc's conn-name is used instead:


gw/smsc/smsc_cimd2.c:   dlr_add(conn-name, ts, msg);
gw/smsc/smsc_emi.c:		dlr_add((conn-id ? conn-id : privdata-name),  
ts, m);

gw/smsc/smsc_oisd.c:dlr_add(conn-name, ts, msg);

Does anybody know if is there any reason for this or is it just a  
different implementation?


Would it make any sense to change it to be in line with the rest?

I guess it makes sense to use conn-id since it's user-definable,  
though conn-name is generated from the connection parameters (host,  
port, user), though limiting what can be done with it (for example:  
two different binds wouldn't be able to manage dlr's from each other).

Re: gwmem patches

[Andreas Fink]

I'm +1 on gw_calloc. There's a few times I would have used it in the  
past so its nice to have it in gwlib.


I see very little optimisation of strdup except we do a strlen twice  
(once explicit in the malloc line an done implicity in the strcpy) but  
it is never bad to save a few microseconds.. (who knows one might call  
this one a gazillion times...). so +1 for that one too.

Hi,
If we use sms for push over ss7 E1 link.i.e directly connected to MSC,

Waiting for Any suggestion.

Thanks  Regards
Jyoti Ranjan Panda




This is what we have been doing since 2001. It is major work.

To give you an idea: if you talk directly SS7, you are an SMSC. The  
store and forward part of an SMSC is no magic. Its just plugging in a  
database and some SMPP filling it. But then to send out the data, you  
need to query the HLR and process the response to then forward the SMS  
to the MSC or retry later if the subscriber is offline.


To be able to do that, you need to implement the following:

Level 1: E1 (Hardware)
Level 2: MTP2
Level 3: MTP3
Level 4: SCCP
Level 5: TCAP
Level 6: GSM-MAP
Level 7: SMS

So think about if you wanted to write Kannel but you would had to  
implement a ethernet driver , ethernet packet layer, IP, tcp, http,  
XML, soap all on top of it and from scratch.
If you look at the specs of those protocols you get the idea. GSM-MAP  
alone is over 1'000 pages! For SMS you only need  a few pages out of  
it but all the mumbo jumbo around it still matters somehow.


Our curent SMSC implementation has almost half a million lines of  
sourcecode. We started writing it in 2001 (and are still not really  
finished with it) because we needed an SMSC and the offers we got at  
that time where like 1.2 million US$ for a system doing 10msg/sec max  
(license limitation).


Now assume you do spend all the time of work for this, it's still  
worthless if you are not an operator because you need a plug to plug  
it in. And then the operators you are sending to will have to enable  
roaming with you so your numbers (which you have to get from the  
regulator) have to be implemented in their routing. And believe me,  
GSM operators are very picky whom they let send SMS into their  
network. And assuming you succeeded in all that, if you start sending  
volumes, you will have to sign a so called Interworking contract (AA. 
19) which means you will have to pay something like 6 eurocent per SMS  
sent. So unless you receive a lot of SMS to balance off your traffic,  
your cost will be way higher than directly connecting to the operator  
on SMPP.


So if anyone has such an access, talk to me.

Re: [PATCH] Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), direction dated 2008-12-10

[Andreas Fink]

I've read the document of the TRAI and I  can only shake my head
That regulator has not understood at all how SMS works. Imagine Mr.  
Spammer wants to kill competition, the only thing he needs is to  
prefix tons of spam with XY- and everyone will blame XY-. Stupid  
excuse for the fact that operators are not good at finding out where  
an SMS came from. Furthermore its too easy to get around by sending  
SMS from outside India.


As others have said, Kannel has to stay neutral. This should, if, be  
done , done on application level. At maximum having a tool like a  
regexp function on application level which could be used for other  
things like replacing A with B or the like. Then it would be an  
universal feature. But doing it from the application sending the  
message is so darn simple that it becomes obsolete.

Hi,

I have 2 questions regarding EMI/UCP.
I have set concatenation = true and flow-control = 1 in my kannel  
config.

I am using 1.4.1

/*

smsc = emi
smsc-id = incomming
allowed-smsc-id = outgoing

1. When I try to send 430 characters (concatenated) the last part is
being sent first and the first part is being sent last. When starting
kannel it sends in the correct order. 1-2-3.. But if I send another
message it send 3-2-1. The message is the same. So I always need to
restart kannel to send in the correct order. This doesnt happen in
cimd2. The first part is being sent first. Always.



This is absolutely irrelevant. The phone will display the whole  
message once all parts have been received. If they arrive 1-2-3 or  
3-2-1 or 3-1-2 doesn't really matter.
The order can also be messed up in transmission to the phone. like you  
are about to drive in the tunnel, you get 1 and when you exit you get  
3 and 10 minutes later after retry you get 2.





2. Assuming my first problem is fixed. My current telco is sending
(05) error which means 'call baring active' so when the first part of
the message and I got a response is 05 i should stop sending the 2nd
and 3rd part of the concatenated message.


Call Barring active means the subscriber is not allowed to receive ANY  
messages (unpaid bill for example...)

This has nothing to do with multipart.

I can understand we can announce breaking changes in the NEWS.
But there has to be a good reason for a change. like chaning from

but changing the name of the /cgi-bin/sendsms string to /whatever for  
me is breaking something which works for absolutely no benefit.

Re: Building Kannel Docs on Mac OSX Leopard

[Andreas Fink]

Hi Alejandro,

You probably should simply indicate the alternative location of  
docbook under /opt instead of /usr/share or /usr/local/share as the  
Linux and Unix world would expect. Ports and Fink put the stuff  
elsewhere. And those types of problems are exactly the reason why I  
don't use them and rather go and compile the stuff for /usr/local. I  
also sometimes had issues if you compile comerical software that you  
out of a sudden end up with dependencies you don't want (like linking  
libz to /opt even there's one coming with the system).


docbook is not my preferred tool, so I have never installed that one  
from source and I never build kannel's doc but leave the buildboot do  
it. Or have a virtual machine under Linux do it...

those site I mentioned and have you link to it?


To be disussed in the group. My vote is neutral

 I have also a set of code changes for adding Syslog reporting and  
Redhat RPMs with their respective init strings – however since I  
despise CVS I used the source instead of checking out – which brings  
me to my second overall point for using one of those services – they  
use SVN which in my opinion is much more modern.


there is syslog logging already. what did you add then?
THere was a recent discussion about switching to SVN or GIT. So far  
SVN made the race but the transition was never done. Stipe: shall we  
envisage this when we move the server or should we do it now?




Lastly, I am tasked to get mbuni operational in the next 120 days  
and would love to be able to put my RPMs somewhere.


I can host them.

 The current process seems to closed for my taste – as I understand  
it the process is to submit my stuff and have someone else add it as  
they see fit – is that correct?


this is correct for newbee's. cracks get access to CVS and do it  
themselves :-)





I do appreciate all the hard work that has been put into the  
project, but I do think development can be accelerated by opening up  
the development to more people. Am I wrong?


Thanks!
Christian

No there's so far no need for it.
There's a group of core developers and there's a dedicated server

Re: [PATCH] UCP/EMI keepalive/UCP31 bug.

[Andreas Fink]

Hi all,

A bug still exists on the UCP/EMI driver.
-Keepalive was wrong because the sender thread was awaken keepalive  
+ 1

When you set keepalive=5 you will in reality have keepalive=6


so you say we where off by one second?



-Then, the patch also fixes the UCP31 at login.
We don't need to send it beacause UCP60 already make an activity on  
the SMSC line. (The issue is that we need to wait_for_ack in order  
to send MT = waste of time). Note that UCP31 is an alert operation  
which can be used for a TCP keepalive.


This is not true. UCP31 is not in fact a keepalive. its used to alert  
the SMSC that we're ready to receive incoming SMS.
Login by itself COULD do this but not necessarily. Also there might be  
some situation where login is not done at all.


From the point of view of Bruno Rodrigues who dit the previous  
patch (2002-03-14) a bug when Kannel couldn't connect to the server  
on the first time, and then on a later attempt, the last_activity  
was wrong and Kannel wouldn't send the 31's, or would send them at  
the wrong time. [...] As a work around I made Kannel always send a  
31 after a successful login to make sure the timers were reset.

This does not seems to happens anymore.


I would leave it in there. It doesn't hurt and probably helps some  
specific SMSC implementations.

So you aggree to that fact that keepalive will be keepalive + 1 ?


yes because of = versus .



The impact is that each UCP31 will be done with 1 second inlate.  
This is not what users want.

If I specify keepalive each 5 sec, i don't want it each 6 sec.

This is absolutly needed!
Take this exemple
00:00:00 you sent a UCP31
00:00:30 you received an ack of your UCP31
(the SMSC is overloaded in this case)
Then if your keepalive is set to 31 you will send just after 1 sec  
an other UCP31. And will result to block the sender thread  
(can_write = 0)


This should never happen if you have window properly set. And while we  
have traffic, last activity is counting up so keepalive will not be  
sent out anyway as the activity keeps the link alive. Keepalive is  
ONLY sent if there is NO activity. But counting keepalive as activity  
itself doesnt sound wrong neither.

Re: DLR Not Destroyed

[Andreas Fink]

what you mean by destroyed?

DLR mask is not keept. A mask says what you expect to get back and  
what not.
Whenever Kannel gets back what you requested and is not expecting any  
further information to come back, the temporary information is removed  
as its the last report it got.



If you ask for success only, at time of report of success, you get a  
report and the temporary information is destroyed
If you ask for success only, at time of report of failure, you dont  
get a report and the temporary information is destroyed
If you ask for success / failure only, at time of report of success or  
failure you get a report and the temporary information is destroyed


etc.

Note. the mask you send into kannel is the mask it uses to communicate  
to you. its not necessarily the mask it sends out to the telco!


Example: If you ask for failure only, it might get buffered back  
from the SMSC (especially in EMI/UCP) or success. On success delivery  
it would clear the temporary info but not send you any report.

I see from log message like this DLR Not Destroyed, still waiting for

so this means, message got to the SMSC but SMSC has not delivered it  
yet.

This can happen if the receiver phone is off.

In many cases, the message will stay on the SMSC for up to 7 days  
before it gets then deleted and we get a DLR failure (validity period  
expired).


And becomes very long queue. What Im afraid is Kannel's performance  
drop because of this long

This very long was the reason why database support was added for

The native compilers for AIX, HP-UX and Solaris do not handle these
options. If a compiler other than gcc supports these options, though,
then my patch goes from a quick fix to an ugly and inaccurate quick  
fix

:(

Other solutions would be to:
- have autoconf try to detect whether the compiler supports -MM,
- use the X11 makedepend utility,
- use automake.

My preference would be for the last of these. What do other people
think?


MacOS X also often has issues with precompiled headers due to the fact  
that Apple's GCC variant can compile multiple architectures in one go  
(for example if you pass -arch ppc -arch i386 -arch ppc64 -arch  
x86_64). In this case the precompiled headers can be different as  
things like size of () do return different values and endianness is  
different. So instead of one .depend it would have to create multiple  
ones.

So gcc does return:

gcc-4.0: -E, -S, -save-temps and -M options are not allowed with  
multiple -arch flags



So under MacOS X I often use --disable-dependency-tracking or I  
compile for every architecture once and merge the binaries it with  
lipo lateron. Kannel doesnt have this issue as I fixed the  
endianness and sizeof issues. In the case of kannel its compiling for  
multiple architectures and disables -M.

Re: PATCH: Microsecond sleep time

[Andreas Fink]

On 02.07.2008, at 14:29, Werner Coetzee wrote:



Hi

Can anyone explain why gwthread is using the poll function to sleep  
(using milliseconds as timeout), and not maybe the select function  
(using microseconds as timeout)?



Kannel can use poll or select. It's a platform specific decision by ./ 
configure as not all have poll as far as I remember.
Select has an issue if you have a lot of file descriptors open as it  
uses an array of many fd's. poll is much smarter there.


The reason why kannel uses poll on a pipe to sleep is for the simple  
reason that a thread can be  woken up before the sleep time expires by  
sending a byte to the pipe.


We have the requirement to be able to sleep for less than a  
millisecond, which the current gwthread_sleep can't provide.


If its for pure sleeping of such small time amounts, you might consult  
your operating system's documentation. maybe usleep() or nanosleep()  
is better for such cases. However be aware that if you sleep such  
small amounts, accuracy can become an issue. Unix kernels are not real  
time kernels.


usleep() on MacOS X says:

DESCRIPTION
	 The usleep() function suspends execution of the calling thread  
until either useconds microseconds have elapsed or a signal is deliv-
	 ered to the thread whose action is to invoke a signal-catching  
function or to terminate the thread or process.  The actual time
	 slept may be longer, due to system latencies and possible  
limitations in the timer resolution of the hardware.


	 This function is implemented, using nanosleep(2), by pausing for  
useconds microseconds or until a signal occurs.  Consequently, in
	 this implementation, sleeping has no effect on the state of  
process timers and there is no special handling for SIGALRM.

This second change is questionable but indicates the problem: when  
compiling in 64 bit mode, AIX already defines int64.


I am fairly sure that B38400 can be assumed to be defined but you  
could extend the patch to check for lower baud rates.


I also tried building using the native AIX compiler which, in  
addition to the above changes, requires that all the C++-style  
comments be converted to C-style comments (there's probably a  
compiler switch that allows C++-style comments but by default they  
are rejected).


The build system assumes gcc (for the generation of include  
dependencies via the -MM option) which is unfortunate.


so the ./configure option --disable-depenency-tracking should be set  
for AIX...

If you can provide a normal ssh account for me to board a

we have it supported out-of-the-box.

Re: Modem connection help : Multi-Tech MTCBA-G-EN-F4

[Andreas Fink]

Tony,

I looked a little bit deeper into your issue with Multi-Tech MTCBA-G- 
EN-F4 modem.
I actually have such a device now on my desk as I found it rather neat  
to have it on ethernet. Saves a computer and USB to serial for my test  
modem banks.


There are two things to be changed for it to work with Kannel:

a) after connecting a tcp session, a telnet handshake has to be done  
(that part i find rather strange). So some exchange of escape  
sequences has to be done.
b) after that exchange, the user is prompted with Login: and Password:  
before he gets access to the AT commands.


tcp connections are supported in kannel (device=rawtcp, host=...  
port=...) but above stops your device from working.
I'll see that I can make a patch for this device by extending kannel  
to support smsc-username/smsc-password on at-commands to log in as  
well as to add the telnet handshake.

If you have good knowledge of the smsc_at driver code I could really  
use your help.


I have been hacking away at the smsc_at.c code and have wrapped the  
code to detect the modem speed in an

  if ( privdata-is_serial ) { ... }
statement so that this won't be attempted because, apparently, you  
cannot detect this modems speed.


I thought this would solve my problem but, alas, it did not.  I have  
now worked my way down into the at2_read_buffer() call and I think  
that this is where the problem is occurring.  I have placed a few  
DEBUG log file writes in locations to show what is happening.  I am  
completely new to communicating to modems and via raw tcp so I do  
not know what should be expected.  However, I don't think the  
at2_read_buffer() call is getting anything.  Below, is a reduced log  
file for the at device containing what is written from a startup -  
shutdown cycle of bearerbox.


The biggest indicators that I see are that privdata-lib = strange  
characters and at2_read_line() never finds an end-of-line  
character.  The at2_read_buffer() call only executes a read the  
first time for the first AT command.  After that it seems like the  
state of something is stuck because the select() call only returns 0  
causing the at2_read_buffer() call to return NULL before the read()  
is attempted.


If anyone has some insight into this I would greatly appreciate it.   
I am using the code in the source download.  I have not pulled  
anything from the cvs repository.


Thank you very much,

Tony,Try CVS version and apply this patch.

telnet.diff

This adds telnet support besides rawtcp.I also added support for login/password prompts scanning as the Multi-Tech asks for Username / Password at login (and Cisco's do as well usually).in the config put this:group = modemsid = wavecomname = Wavecomdetect-string = "WAVECOM"group = smscsmsc = atsmsc-id = "mymodem"modemtype = wavecomspeed = 19200device = telnetport = 5000host = 1.2.3.4keepalive = 240smsc-username = smsc-password = I tested with Multitech Firmware Release 1.19.If it works fine with you and others, I will commit it tomorrow after having it tested with a cisco router as well.On 24.06.2008, at 01:02, Andreas Fink wrote:Tony,I looked a little bit deeper into your issue withMulti-Tech MTCBA-G-EN-F4 modem.I actually have such a device now on my desk as I found it rather neat to have it on ethernet.

Re: Modem connection help : Multi-Tech MTCBA-G-EN-F4

[Andreas Fink]

Tony, do you have any documentation on this modem?
if it's a standard AT modem, it should work out of the box with kannel.
if you go for TCP instead of serial, there are a few things to consider:

a) setting serial port speed is probably out of control
b) hardware handshake etc as well.

But let's dig into your questions:

at2_read_buffer is simply reading whatever bytes are there from your  
device. This can be a partial line.


for the at device containing what is written from a startup -  
shutdown cycle of bearerbox.


The biggest indicators that I see are that privdata-lib = strange  
characters and at2_read_line() never finds an end-of-line character.


this would inicate some kind of problem on your setup/device. Use  
telnet to verify by hand.
One thing which could be different on a TCP connection is the end of  
line characters.


The at2_read_buffer() call only executes a read the first time for  
the first AT command.  After that it seems like the state of  
something is stuck because the select() call only returns 0 causing  
the at2_read_buffer() call to return NULL before the read() is  
attempted.


if select() returns 0 this means the remote side has not sent any bytes.

   Select() examines the I/O descriptor sets whose addresses are  
passed in readfds, writefds, and errorfds to see if some of their
 descriptors are ready for reading, are ready for writing, or  
have an exceptional condition pending, respectively.  The first nfds
 descriptors are checked in each set; i.e., the descriptors from  
0 through nfds-1 in the descriptor sets are examined.  (Example: If
 you have set two file descriptors 4 and 17, nfds should  not  
be 2, but rather 17 + 1 or 18.)  On return, select() replaces
 the given descriptor sets with subsets consisting of those  
descriptors that are ready for the requested operation.  Select()  
returns

 the total number of ready descriptors in all the sets.

So 0 essentially means, no data available to read. That's why read()  
is not called because its useless.





If anyone has some insight into this I would greatly appreciate it.   
I am using the code in the source download.  I have not pulled  
anything from the cvs repository.


not much relevant change I would guess.

I would think either your device doesnt talk AT commands or some fancy  
protocol or its a ethernet to serial adaptor in it which you have to  
configure properly for its speed (speed mismatch between device and  
ethernet adaptor).


Withouth proper documentation its impossible to find out.

Is it not unreosonably old? Can you provide details?



I've checked on my network.
the two redhat servers I'm using since a few years, dont have git
all my MacOS X 10.4 and 10.5 servers with latest developer tools dont  
have git

all my Solaris 8 and 9 machines don't have git.
my ubuntu  server doesnt have git neither.

I'm sure it can be installed from source on all of those machines but  
its a time consuming task.

I'ts not just apt-get install git


A platform on which no kernel, xorg, wine or ruby on rails
hacking is not possible seems to me a little outdated..?


Do you maybe forget that there are machines with non intel CPU's out  
there?
And especially in telco environment, you see lots of SUN Sparc's. And  
Kannel is used on those.
I don't see why xorg, wine, ruby on rails should be a dependency of  
kannel...




Sometimes, tools a couple of years old may be chosen over very
old tools, even if outdated platforms may need to specifically
install the new tool :)


CVS is old I must admit. My favour would be SVN though.

For the rest of the Unixes, I suspect compiling git for them

Yes of course. But that argument should be used carefully,
because sometimes better tools which are widely available would
overally benefit to the project.



I currently dont see the benefit of git.
Today I use cvs and svn. Both in exactly the same way. They work fine.  
So why change to something new?




Also, when moving to git, there's still:

- gitweb allowing any web client to browse the repo


like cvsweb
