Hello Engel/Peter, Below is a sample configuration. this configuration will accept messages from the connectors and route the message to the php script also stated in the configuration.
Now, to respond the php script will have to originate the message using perhaps the http sending method. group = smsc smsc = smpp smsc-id=sms2 host = 192.168.0.11 port = 9900 transceiver-mode = true smsc-username = u53r smsc-password = p455w07d system-type = "" address-range = "" source-addr-ton = 2 source-addr-npi = 1 group = sendsms-user username = usr password = pwd default-sender="WORD" default-smsc concatenation = true group = sms-service keyword = default get-url = "http://localhost/path/to/app.php?SOURCEADDR=%p&DESTADDR=%P&KEYWORD=%k&ID=%I&ORIGIN=%i&MESSAGE=%a"; max-messages = 1 catch-all=true Regards, Mike Nwaogu Tel: 234_802_325_6437 Eml: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ---- From: Engel L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: users@kannel.org Sent: Friday, January 18, 2008 8:33:50 AM Subject: Fwd: Need Help Configuring Kannel for SMS Pull ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Engel L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Jan 18, 2008 8:41 AM Subject: Re: Need Help Configuring Kannel for SMS Pull To: Otandeka Simon Peter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Peter, Your config file is almost similar to mine, except that I do not have a receive-port. I read on the user guide if this is not set the port parameter is assumed. Yes what I need now is a way for the SMSC to route my SMS's to my Kannel server (SMS's meant to my Kannel box via a short code the operators provided me). So yes, how can the SMSC talk to Kannel (via SMPP or any other protocols Kannel makes provisions for)?
