Invalid Source Address
Hello kannel users! I'm trying to make something work. Here is the current situation: 1. I can send message to mobile phones from my kannel box. 2. I CANNOT receive messages from mobile users. The Service Provider has confirmed that we are indeed assigned to 4563 access code. Their techguy informed me that he is getting an 0x000A - Invalid Source Address error. We've tried different values for source-addr-ton/npi but it didn't solve the issue. Anybody wanna share similar experiences or troubleshooting hint? Regards to all!
Generic XML POST SMSC
HI, I need to connect and send messages via Telefonica in Mexico. They offer an XML based system whereby messages are encoded in XML and posted to the URL they provide. I saw some while back mention of a generic http type being added to the http smsc, and some suggestions about making it support generic XML posts as well. Did any work get done on that does anybody know? Has anybody got a working connection with telefonica in mexico via XML? Its a little compounded by the fact the specification they sent me is in spanish, which I don't read :-) But the actual XML does look reasonably simple. In this instance I'm not fussed about DLRs or anything fancy, just submitting text messages is all I need. Regards Ben
SMSC throughput with SMPP protocol
what is the through put of a SMSC over SMPP?? What is the maximum, minimum, average values?? What are the factors affecting this through put?? How much does the protocol (SMPP, CIMD, SS7 etc) between SMSC and SMS-Gateway affects the through put. -- Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.
Re: Generic XML POST SMSC
According to me, your solution is definitely to use smsc_soap. I' m not sure if it is well documented, anyway by searching in mailing list archive and looking the code, you' ll surely be able to use it. Soap is just a little confounding as it manage xml (and so also soap over xml). I have different connection with Italian operators based on it, so I can ensure that it works fine :-) Greetings Francesco On Tue, 2007-01-30 at 10:29 +, Ben Suffolk wrote: HI, I need to connect and send messages via Telefonica in Mexico.

Re: SMSC throughput with SMPP protocol
All depends on what your provider sets as a throttle - we have SMPP connections that can quite happily handle thousands of messages a minute. It's not uncommon for a network to set an entry level limit of one or two messages a second on an SMPP connection.

Re: Masking originating addresses
All depends on how you're sending your messages. Most decent providers will allow setting the sender number on an SMPP, HTTP, etc connection. I've never heard of a network that'll allow you to do that on a GSM modem or handset, but then again stranger things have happened.. :) Alex On 1/29/07, David Ritchie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, that's right -- setting the sender number. -Original Message- From: Iain Dooley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 30 January 2007 10:32 a.m. To: David Ritchie Cc: users@kannel.org Subject: Re: Masking originating addresses hi david, On Tue, 30 Jan 2007, David Ritchie wrote: Hello all -- has anybody had any success with using TPOA (or similar) to mask the originating address for MT SMS messages? do you just mean setting the sender number? cheers iain
Re: Generic XML POST SMSC
Hi Francesco I'll check it out thanks. According to me, your solution is definitely to use smsc_soap. I' m not sure if it is well documented, anyway by searching in mailing list archive and looking the code, you' ll surely be able to use it. Soap is just a little confounding as it manage xml (and so also soap over xml). The name did put me off looking at it as soap is somewhat more complex than the XML format that I need to us.

omit-empty and max-messages
Hi! I got doubts about how the exact combination of the omit-empty and max-messages parametrs should be... When I receive messages through Kannel, I invoke PHP scripts through get-url and then post the reply back through sendsms. So I have on each sms-service an omit-empty = true in order for Kannel not to send the empty reply from service provider message. I aslo have max-messages = 0 for this to work... Now, some time ago, I added a new smsc-service, where I had the same conf as the previous one, but had to take out the max-messages = 0 of the second one for it to work... So this worked: group = sms-service keyword = default omit-empty = true max-messages= 0 accepted-smsc-regex=^ab- get-url = http://myHost.tld/myScript.php?smsc_id=%ishort_code=%Pphone=%pmessage=%a; group = sms-service keyword = default omit-empty = true get-url = http://myOtherHost.tld/myScript.php?smsc_id=%ishort_code=%Pphone=%pmessage=%a; accepted-smsc-regex=^bb- On my initial conf I had max-messages = 0 on the second sms-service too, but while having it, messages were never sent to the second PHP script When I took it out, both sms-services worked fine But nowadays I realize that I have other sms-services, where I also include the max-messages = 0 directive, and they work fine... So my question is... when do you have to use it and when not?? I believe that on my first conf I didn't have a default sms-service as I have today: # Default # group = sms-service keyword = default omit-empty = true text= No service specified Can it be that I had that problem for not having this default service? If it's like that, should I then add the max-messages = 0 to all the other sms-services? If that's the case, then why all work the same, while some have it and some don't? Sorry if it's a silly question... Thanks in advance, Juan
Re: omit-empty and max-messages
Juan, AFAIK, the max-messages and omit-empty should be used when you answer the messages asynchronously: * Kannel receives an SMS from sender 1234567890 to shortcode 4321. * Kannel check the routing and GET the request to http://my-url/my-script.php Now, my-script.php could act in different ways regarding the answer to that message: a) It could answer synchronously, with a set of headers and a text content. b) It could act asynchronously: print nothing and make a new request to the sendsms interface (or maybe an sqlbox query). In case a, you should set max-messages to non-zero. Otherwise, the client will get nothing. In case b, you should set max-messages to ZERO, since the response will be a new request and the client shouldn't get anything from the script. In this particular scenario, if you set max-messages to non-zero you'll get an empty response from In my own experience, I usually set max-messages = 0 and use the sendsms or sqlbox interfaces to answer messages. In that scenario, the omit-empty setting it's irrelevant, unless I try to queue an empty message to sendsms (which would be a blatant BUG on my code, BTW). Hope it helps, Alejandro.

Re: How to start bearerbox and smsbox from crontab
Also keep in mind that crontab runs under a different environment than your regular shell. You may be relying on paths that are present by default on your regular shell, but not on the crontab. You can try chrooting to /etc/kannel before calling, or make sure that all your paths (I mean also on the config files) are absolute (/etc/kannel/whatever/file instead of just whatever/file). BTW, why are you executing kannel from a crontab? I'd go for a rc.d or startup script instead. Last but not least, check the documentation regarding kannel startup options. Hint: the --parachute switch it's your best friend ;) Regards, Alejandro.

However, if the script is scheduled in crontab, I noticed that bearerbox and smsbox will not be executed even though the script is being executed successfully. Nothing is being output to the log file even though the log level is configured to 'DEBUG' level. Is there any enviroment parameter need to be assign? Any suggestion/opinion is welcomed.
