Hi all,
I have been playing with kannel for a few days now and it works great. Thanks to all the developers! I don't seem to have a full understanding of some of the issues and can't find answers on the web.
I have connected up my nokia 6230 over the bluetooth serial interface (anyone who wants to know how to do this - give me a shout) and this works great for SMS. Where my understanding falls down is with GPRS and MMS. I understand that kannel does not support MMS per say and also have mbuni running (after some changes to make it work with the current cvs, again give me a shout if you want these). The problem I have is that nothing ever gets to the wapbox. The MMS arrives on the phone but never goes over the serial interface. I read at
http://www.ihub.com/GSM%20Modems.htm
that you can't use a WAP push / MMS capable phone as a GSM modem as it intercepts the data and does not transfer it down the serial link. Is this the case?
The second thing I don't understand is how data gets to the WAP gateway when its not via a GSM modem. I want to serve content from my box. Can I set up a phone so that it uses my gateway / do I have to do any setup? I have the appropriate ports open etc. I have read other messages describing this but I am still missing something. In my GPRS configuration in the phone I have:
Homepage,
Proxies - what are these for? Should I set the proxy to the IP of my WAP gateway?
Bearer Settings
GPRS access point - Should this the the IP of my WAP gateway?
user name
password
authentication type
Thank you in advance for any help,
