RE: UCP keepalive ack problems
Hi Konstantin, I think the problem you have is misappropriating variables for example Wait-ack means duration to wait for acknowledgment before the resending a message. Each message has to get an ack (acknowledgement) from the SMSC. Check user guide wait-ack number (seconds) A message is resent if the acknowledge from SMSC takes more than this time. Defaults to 60 seconds. It goes hand in hand with wait-ack-expire wait-ack-expire number Defines what kind of action should be taken if the the ack of a message expires. The options for this value are: 0x00 - disconnect/reconnect, (default) 0x01 - as is now, re-queue, but this could potentially result in the msg arriving twice 0x02 – just carry on waiting (given that the wait-ack should never expire this is the mst accurate) I believe what you are referring to for checking whether SMSC has gone away is enquire-link. If you set it to say 30 secs then it will keep enquiring every 30secs and if the SMSC is not available kannel will initiate a reconnect. You can also use reconnect-delay to control how much time before kannel tries to reconnect after it ‘discovers’ it is unbound default is 10secs.

The second question is - in case the remote smsc fails to produce acks to keepalives properly, whats the way of ensuring the link is really alive? Lately, we're experiencing a lot of problems when the link went down on the other side and kannel does not notice that and keeps thinking the link is still alive. Moreover, when we're trying to reset such a undead link individually, everything fails, including killing the socket with tcpkill - kannel still does not bring the smsc down, and the only option left is shut down the kannel completely, including kill -9 bearerbox (because otherwise kannel never even finishes shutdown sequence) and performing a full restart.
RE: Routing incoming SMS to correct SME
Hi Imran, You can accomplish this with Kannel routing this way: . Assign id to the connection eg smsc-id = SME1 . Define route by using the following parameters allowed-smsc-id and denied-smsc-id. In SME1 config allow SME1 and deny SME2 and in two likewise . When doing the post, use the parameter smsc in the http send to kannel eg ..smsc=SME1 That should take care of routing.

Hi, Alternatively, you can process incoming MO in the same php script that is defined to receive incoming MO in sms service to evaluate the content and respond via the Kannel Call that sends MT messages then store the MO in a db (and MT too if you like).

Basically I have a configuration with: 1 bearerbox 2 smsc smpp connections to 2 different SMSCs 1 smsbox 1 sendsms-user 1 sms-service The sms-service group receives all the traffic reaching Kannel and process it by calling a get_url that is handled by Apache and PHP. The PHP outputs an echo command with the text that is sent back to the sending party (generally a mobile handset) as a response to the request the sending party initiated (generally to the short number). What I want is to still have the single sms-service group processes all the traffic, but to be able to somehow specify it to send back the PHP text response to a specified smsc smpp. The conditions can be related to the short number to which the initial SMS was sent to (or any other I can accommodate to). From the user guide, it seems that as I use only 1 smsbox instance, I shouldn't use any smsbox-route group. Or maybe it is exactly the part I am missing and have misunderstood.

RE: Help required in setting up sms gateway
Hi Kanchan, I've also been wondering the same thing, whether I can use USSD with Kannel. What I know is that USSD is a session based system and with SMPP being a store and forward protocol, can you really maintain a session with a subscriber?

RE: Wap push problem
Hi Edwin, From what I can tell, you haven't url encoded the udh. Its supposed to have several percentage signs(%) in between the message and udh.coding is not even that important. I had the same problem till I read through this resource: http://dev.sellingsource.com/category/kannel/ Eg for WAP PUSH the udh field in the send-url is meant to be %06%05%04%0B%84%23%F0 as opposed to 0605040B8423F0 and the messages is also meant to have these percentage signs in between to encode the text. An example of my send-url part is as follows: ..to=udh=%06%05%04%0B%84%23%F0text=%1B%06%01%AE%02%05%6A%00%45%C6%0C%0 3%77%61%70%2E%79%61%68%6F%6F%2E%63%6F%6D%00%01%03%56%69%73%69%74%20%59%61%68 %6F%6F%21%20%6F%6E%20%79%6F%75%72%20%70%68%6F%6E%65%00%01%01from=..

I checked with the operator and they send and receive without any problem from others but for some reasons our message does not work. I have tried everything but nothing seems to work, changes in kannel connection, set up the data coding using coding=1 alt-dcs=1 mclass=1. I also try to change the way i made the message because the operator said that only support this formats US ASCII, UTF16, LATIN but i could not find any different solution. At this point I don't have any idea about what could be the problem because i tested the same wap push with other operators and it works well using the same kannel configuration. This is the way i build the wap push: $text = '1B0601AE02056A0045C60C03'; $text .= bin2hex($url); $text .= '000103'; $text .= bin2hex(utf8_encode($text)); $text .= '000101'; The message looks like 1B0601AE02056A0045C60C03772E676F6F676C652E636F6D0001032054657374000101 Also i use the header 0605040B84, and this is part of the smpp connection log DEBUG: boxc_receiver: sms received DEBUG: send_msg: sending msg to box: 127.0.0.1 DEBUG: throughput (0.00,0.00) DEBUG: Manually forced source addr ton = 1, source add npi = 1 DEBUG: Manually forced dest addr ton = 1, dest add npi = 1 DEBUG: Sending PDU: DEBUG: SMPP PDU 0x16453e0 dump: DEBUG: type_name: submit_sm DEBUG: command_id: 4 = 0x0004 DEBUG: command_status: 0 = 0x DEBUG: sequence_number: 161 = 0x00a1 DEBUG: service_type: NULL DEBUG: source_addr_ton: 1 = 0x0001 DEBUG: source_addr_npi: 1 = 0x0001 DEBUG: source_addr: DEBUG: dest_addr_ton: 1 = 0x0001 DEBUG: dest_addr_npi: 1 = 0x0001 DEBUG: destination_addr: xxx DEBUG: esm_class: 67 = 0x0043 DEBUG: protocol_id: 0 = 0x DEBUG: priority_flag: 1 = 0x0001 DEBUG: schedule_delivery_time: NULL DEBUG: validity_period: NULL DEBUG: registered_delivery: 1 = 0x0001 DEBUG: replace_if_present_flag: 0 = 0x DEBUG: data_coding: 4 = 0x0004 DEBUG: sm_default_msg_id: 0 = 0x DEBUG: sm_length: 75 = 0x004b DEBUG: short_message: DEBUG:Octet string at 0x1645380: DEBUG: len: 75 DEBUG: size: 1024 DEBUG: immutable: 0 I hope this information could help to find any possible problem, thanks in advance.

RE: Credit Limit
Hi, You can define the credit limits from the application that posts the send-url to the smsbox. Then define a separate smsc group with a different smsc-id to which you can use to route the messages once you exceed the daily 1,000 limit on one smsc. I do this using my bulk sms accounts by monitoring the message count on each smsc.
